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)

Walking with Wings Folded

Just a little one
He could use his wings to fly
But he walks slowly

He walks slowly into Autumn...what's the rush...enjoying all the bits of a season to the very end of it...at least he doesn't have snow to ponder...lucky Mr. Magpie!!!

Happy Earth Day friend, as many of us share this vision of harmony and peace...it's a good day to pick up the neighbor's trash that has blown into my yard...we have grown lazy...time for change is upon us...sadly, some will never get it...

Have a wonderful weekend my bestus friend...hugs!
