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)

You are the first to post a 'Signs of The Season" Gemma and I always love to see the ducks and their ducklings. Duck daddies never seem to know what to do except to protect their mate. Thank you for opening the meme.... Michelle

What wonderful signs of spring. It's so nice to see your spring while we have our fall.

It still boggles my mind every time I pop over here, that you guys have Spring now :D

So sweet to see the Duck Babies :)

Have a happy Spring time!

Can't help but love little ducklings - so cute! I hope it's as lovely a spring as those duckies! :-)

New life! Wonderful sign of spring. The ducks are all grown here and many are planning their flight to a warmer clime, although a few brave souls will stay the winter in a few sheltered spots. Nice to see the other half of the cirle of life in your photos.
