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)

Pseudo Icons

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Pelican folly at Hastings, Mornington Peninsula
~
One Single Impression prompt #23 ~ Folly
~

Like simple
Hasty
Line drawings
Stuffed with painted plastic
And dumped
On a line of
"Notice Me" posts
These pseudo pelicans
Grace the fringe of
A Hastings children's playground
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Real pelicans at Hastings
~
Yet just around the corner
Low
On muddied sands
Beneath the pier
Roam
The real pelicans
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Penguin folly at Safety Beach, Mornington Peninsula
~
But Safety Beach must claim
The Crown of Ultimate Folly ~
Near a children's playground
(Again)
Soaring to the skies
All alone is
An artificial penguin
~
Strangely
Just around the corner
Any corner
No penguins roam ~
They prefer life on
Phillip Island
(Across the Westernport waters from Hastings)
Where no artificial penguins
(Or pelicans)
Exist

Camera Critters prompt
~

I am elegant
A picture of quality
Classy quantity
~
My beak is my joy
A master of gluttony
Prime utility
~
Sleeping is a skill
Locking my beak in feathers
Protective measures
~
I am unique
An awesome sight by the sea
Nature's odd critter
~
