Washing Shadows

Bold washing shadows attracted my attention.
But it was not till I uploaded this photo that I noticed the little kookaburra at the top looking down.

I Love the Kookaburra

A kookaburra family regularly visits my Mornington Peninsula world.
Such friendly, knowing little characters.
The kookaburra (also known as laughing jackass) is part of the kingfisher family and is native to Australia and New Guinea.




Knowing character
The kookaburra magic
Reaches the spirit

So what is a friend
One who sings the earth for you
Echo of beauty

A Kookaburra Up Close!

Kookaburras visit our home in the Dromana Hills on the Mornington Peninsula.
They don't seem to mind being photographed!

Sweet kookaburra
Enjoys a good laugh each day
Like a wise old soul

On All Fours

Kookaburra and wattle bird having a little chat on the wires outside my Dromana Hills home.
They were on all fours!
The wattle bird seemed to be doing all the talking!
The kookaburra simply admired the view!

Not a friendly pair
Kookaburra calmly sits
Agro wattle bird

Not quite feathered friends
Both like to rule their own space
Like mini sky wars

Some choose aloofness
Some object to cold silence
Educate passions
