The first day of the Southern Summer in the Southern Hemisphere
The sun shines in the blue sky and a blackbird I do hear
His beautiful song so melodious and clear
On the first day of December the twelfth month of the year,
The temperatures pleasant twenty four degrees
With a welcome coolness in the evening breeze
That blows from the ocean a few miles away
One ought to feel happy for such a nice day
The Spring of the year 2009 to the forever...

Supposed to be a talented and clever human being yet he cannot see
What to most others seem obvious as obvious as can be

Our very existence to her we do owe
Than Mother Nature a greater...

Most sheep at a young age slaughtered for their meat
For you and me and others for to eat
But she was one left to die naturally
And in so doing created her own history.

A quiet old place in Victoria known for it's lake and scenic views

A lovely Spring day the wildborn birds are singing and the warm sun shining in the clear blue sky
And white butterflies flitting in the flowering gardens and the dark winged swallows chirping as they fly
The last week of the southern November and the southern Summer just a week away
The temperatures in the low to the mid twenties this surely does rate as a perfect day,
The young magpies though flying not independent to their parents for food they do beg and call
