The Bright Herald

First signs of spring after the long winter

Photo taken in Armidale, Australia, by R Makim

Flowers like snow cover

Frostbitten branches as

Late winter sun tries to break into

Spring.

_

A flash of colours warm and bright

A jester's comical camouflage.

A rosella hiding (poorly)

In the plumtree.

_

Herald of the change

Of the season.

Read one too many adventure stories as a child and decided I'd make that my life.

I grew up on a cattle station in the Australian Outback and decided to spend the rest of my life seeing the rest of the world.
