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)

A white cockatoo
To brave the dangers of
A wandering photographer

Food beats fear

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ In no time at all, he was back in the tree, trying to find what happened to the birdfeeder.

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Finally he gave up on the birdfeeder and decided to see what else the tree had to offer. I didn't seem to bother him.

Zeal is an overwhelming passion ~
A beautiful
Obsession

A yarn is a tale
Reality on winged wheels
Wishing it is true?
