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)

That little bird is sporting an attitude. Nice catch Gemma. Thanks for visiting and saying hello. I spent an entire day creating that image of the hydrangea. And did I ever learn. Always discovering new things.

I love the shot of the magpie. That's a great pose.

Tania said...

Nice bird and shot!;-)
Have a great day!

Getting that close to a baby magpie is well done!

PS The cobblestones will be back.

I thought magpies were small birds, and this is a baby? Amazing character already! Good take!

That young bird's a poser! He looks great against the lines of the floor.
