Two kookaburras in late afternoon winter sunlight


We have been waiting
I wonder if she'll feed us
It's getting so late

Family of Kookaburras

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Kookaburras are always a joy in my world in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
Believe it or not, the ones second from the left and far right are both Spring babies.
Feeding them seems to be a family affair.

Laughing Kookaburras in a Gum Tree

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Our home in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula, has two large gum trees.
Kookaburras blend amazingly well into the textures of the bark.
I have shown kookaburras on our verandah, but kookaburras usually spread their laughter around from high in a gum tree.
The Laughing Kookaburra, 'Dacelo novaeguineae', is a familiar Australian carnivorous bird of the Kingfisher family, well known for its call. Previously known as the Laughing Jackass it is now best known by its aboriginal name. ~ Avian Web

Two Jaunty Kookaburras

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Kookaburras usually sit in gum trees.
At least, that is what the song says.
But these two jaunty kookaburras at Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula choose to sit at the top of a ladder to a tank!

A Kookaburra Story

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Two of our kookaburra friends from Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula
~
Carry on Tuesday #20 ~ This week, the prompt is a quotation from the Austrian dramatist Friedrich Halm:
Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one
~

Two souls together
Same pass on the same air line
I wing what you wing
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman
~
Two souls are lower
My questions are your questions
But who has answers
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman
~
I see a new way
But I see the old way still
Where do we fly now
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman
~
I say old is best
Do you hear me loud and clear
You must take my way
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman
~
It's cool my old soul
Two hearts still beat best as one
Lets share our ideas
~
Test the new and old
Two souls could mean just one thought
One dream one heartbeat
~
