AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

My Wild Warriors


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Again, our beautiful Burmese cat named Shadow features this week.
Here he is bonding with my dear hubby!
Their shadows seem to highlight the bond!
Both guys have just returned from battle!
Another cat dared to wander on their territory!

My wild warriors
Heroes of my heart and soul
Strong lights in shadows

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ And here, the battle heroes proudly compare notes with just a touch of shadows playing around them!

What a loving pair they make, obviously attuned to each others presence, as they make shadow friends and stroll together on a beautiful winter's day.

I used to own two Persian long-hairs, what beauties they were, one black and one gray...I wish Scratchy would let me have a cat, but I fear for the cat knowing my terrorist terrier. I just miss that special bond that cats have with us, it is another world totally!

Have a wonderful week ahead dear friend...big hugs back at cha...s

Hey Harriet said...

Oh Gemma this is such a sweet post! I'm sure glad that no harm came to your beloved wild warriors! Phew! Your haiku is super!!! I hope the warriors are now resting after their battle :) Have a great week ahead. I'm thinking we're all in for a cold one this week...keep warm!

what a beautiful cat and you're right about the shadows in the first photo seeming to highlight the bond between the two....

GalleryJuana said...

Sweet photos. You can really see how your cat is responding to the petting in the first photo. And they seem to be talking to each other in the second.

MyMaracas said...

Great name for that beautiful cat. Nice photos and a fun story!

The Summer Kitchen Girls said...

Gemma - your cat is beautiful! Love the picture above in the "Morning Darkness" - quite striking!
Yes, they seem to admire each other....Shadow looks like he is a very good listener too (Shadow...and your husband!!)
