Award from Bonnie Bonsai of Sydney, Australia!

This is a wind-blown, wild cockatoo on my verandah in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
(He fascinates me because he has a broken wing, which won't fold down but he manages to fly quite well!)
The dramatic look of shock in his pose symbolises how I feel right now.

Bonnie Bonsai of Australia: Quadrat in Focus (to name one of her 20 amazing blogs) has awarded my blog the Bella Sinclair Award for Art and Inspiration!
(She records her many awards in a separate blog called Appreciation Award Blog.)

I feel so humble because all I try to achieve here is to let people enjoy some time out, seeing and thinking about non mainstream, quirky sometimes eccentric ideas.

Photos combined with poetry aim to touch a cord for just a moment, and having touched move on.

I would dearly love to pass this award on to so many bloggers.
Some I know very well and some I am still discovering and exploring.
But, for a long time now, one particular blogger has walked with me through blogland and shared many lights and a few shadows.
She inspires with her love of the land (past and present) through her poetry and photos.
She is a modern day gypsy with a home known as the Pink Chateau.
She is my "sister" blogger in Iowa.
