I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
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)

superb capture!
You truly have the most interesting backyard visitors!
Wonderful colours! We don't get birds with that kind of colouring over here.
How pretty. And sort of funny looking. Almost like they accidentally dipped their faces in red paint.

Such a lovely rainbow of colors.
What wonderful colouring they have.
These are sweet. We have a lot of rosellas here in Qld but I've never seen ones like that.
colorful birds...i've never seen such kind of critter. Well captured.
They look so cute :)
Great shot of them.
Oh how I wish I had such beautiful birds in my back yard!
Wonderful photo.
Great Colours! I love how the birds all come out right after mowing the lawn... stir up all the bugs and it's a feast for them :)
