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)

Cockatoos are quite playful aren't they? In this photo the wings do look like those if an angel. ;-)

Cheeky bird! The wings do look like those of an angel... not that I've ever seen a real angel - but I see these cheeky feathered guys all the time.
