We live close to a beautiful bush track that I walk at least once a week. It too is crumbly dry, and you can almost feel the bushland aching for rain. The birds love our two birdbaths, often three or four different types of birds (Bronzewing Pigeons, Twenty-eights, Magpies, Wattlebirds) are waiting impatiently for a quick immersion in the water to get rid of the dust in their feathers.
I'm not a summer person and am desperate for this heat to end.
My Nanna has a saying that has thus far (in my life) proved true, that after Anzac Day we'll be wearing our coats. It's always cold by the end of April, but being so warm so late, it makes you wonder if the cold rainy weather will ever return.
I have traveled all over the world for my work but Australia is one locale I have not experienced. I appreciate your depictions of the natural world you experience there. Perhaps I will make it down under one of these days.

Loved your piece, Monique, beautiful as always.
