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)

One Single Impression #62 ~ Tactile

Spikey or silken
Jagged or fluffy textures
Tactile connections

Sensory moments
Tingling charge from the outside
Felt so deep within

~
Like a strange space warp
Dimensions metamorphose
Bi-lateral time

Small boat in waiting
Some day seas will reach higher
And journeys begin

Dark Footprints

As I was making the bed, I saw that the Autumn sunlight cast interesting colours and shadows on the wall.

Walkng in Heaven


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Walking on Dromana beach, Mornington Peninsula is a popular past-time, almost any season.
Spring weather was just emerging in 2008.
But this could easily be an Autumn shot right now too!

Cockatoos Enjoy a Challenge?


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ No! You are not seeing things!
It is not trick photography!
This wild cockatoo flew onto my verandah brick wall.
And clung onto the bricks for several minutes.
I have no idea what was attracting him there.
Do cockatoos eat small spiders?
I could see no spider or spider's web.
Quite a mystery!

Walls are there to climb
In the spirit of sheer guts
Wild bird adventure

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ You would think the first photo was just a lucky shot.
After a few minutes, the cockatoo flew back onto my verandah railing!
He stood there, gazed fixedly at the wall
and then flew onto the same spot again!
Perhaps he liked the challenge of climbing!
Some cockatoos love climbing my old flag pole!
And fight one another over it!
