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)

Wild Cycles of Seeds


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Cockatoo feasting on seeds in a Dromana street, Mornington Peninsula
NOTES: A few visitors have wondered if this bird is really in the wild! YES IT IS! Where I live, cockatoos are quite a common, daily sight flying around tree-lined streets and flying over my mountain. Some people have bird feeders for them near their driveways. But not everyone likes cockatoos! They look handsome, but their screech is ear-piercing! Some people refer to a flock of cockatoos as "the screech squad"!

Free gift of Nature's bounty

Wild cycles of seeds
Life and death are perceptions
Old rite of passage
