Carry on Tuesday #42 ~ This week our prompt is the opening of Elizabeth Peter’s 1999 book The Falcon at the Portals:
What is it you find so amusing, dear?
~
Hopping up the stairs
Kookaburra happiness
Life is always good
~
Hear this bird's laughter
It is so amusing dear
You must just laugh too

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)

They make the most interesting sounds.
I've heard of the kookaburra, but I've never seen one. Cute!
Me too - heard of it; never seen,never heard it's call.
Great shot, I would love to see the Kookaburra in person someday. It is a cool looking bird.
Such cute little birds. Thanks for giving us a peek at them!
Hi Gemma!
I haven't been here in quite a while, so thought I'd visit. :) What a wonderfully strange looking bird - I want one! How marvelous.
Thanks for sharing...

Here's my Carry On Tuesday piece: So Amusing, a seuss/silverstein kinda thing
absolutely adorable! (from one TSE fan to another)
I've never seen this bird but I remeber the song we sang about him in grade school. I wish i could hear him laugh.
