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)

Musings on a Golden Eagle

A golden eagle
Tawny brown power in space
Lonely great hunter
~
Imposing winged craft
Essence of surly drama
Air of royalty
~
Burning sense of will
Eyries high on rocky crags
Trespass if you dare
~
Mexican symbol
Roman and Persian icon
Ancient sanctity

The bald eagle in the states is held in reverence as a symbol of freedom and magic to the Native Americans, it's a big majestic bird.

I love the garden shop below, what fun treasures they have to grace ones garden...I'd be all over the bird statuary...

Yes, Lorie has been forced out of her mother's home by her siblings so they can sell the house...greed...she had to quit her job and lost her house to foreclosure while taking full time care of her mother while she was dying with brain cancer, the siblings rarely came around. It's a sad story, but though we've only been in our current shop for 3 months, the move across the street to a much larger location, is a necessity, as our little space was LITTLE.

Yes, alotta work but SOOO worth it. I'll post pics Thursday after we get it arranged...stay tuned for more drama...ha!

See ya seester...
