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)

Lone and Maybe Lonely Seagull


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ In recent days, a lone seagull wanders round our home in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
Constantly he circles, then lands, then feeds, then circles again and lands.
(Repeat this many times!)
Often he tries to sit with the cockatoos, but they don't want his company.
No surprises that we have named the seagull, Jonathan.
He features in this mosaic on our back verandah.

White feathered loner
Leaving his kind of the sea
Hears a new drum beat

He does look kind of lonely. Great mosaic. Very serene.

Aw, poor little fellow! Do you suppose he's lost? Do seagulls get lost? Anyway, it's a great mosaic, Gemma. Thanks for sharing at Mosaic Monday. :)

Beautiful photo's. I love seagulls and wish they could tell where they have been. Yours looks very young and so soft looking. Thanks for sharing. Sharon
