Landscape'ism - mixed media on paper
I've been working on a small postcard sized illustration lately for the It's a Small World exhibition being displayed at the Magpie Springs Gallery/Cellar Door/Vineyard in South Australia. The exhibition runs from November 13th 2016 to January 15th 2017 and it is so good to donate a (albeit small) piece of art to a worthy cause.
DETAILS:
An exhibition of small works by Australian and International Artists. To be held in South Australia at Magpie Springs
magpiesprings.com.au
Gallery hrs:- Fri Sat Sun 11 - 5
Magpie Springs

ITS A SMALL WORLD.
An International Open Exhibition held at Magpie Springs Gallery, South Australia
As artists we can share our works and make connections never before possible every day with each other on social media. We often see our artist friends works but the chance to see or even own an original from that artist is perhaps slim, especially if they are on the other side of the world.
This is YOUR chance to own a memento from accomplished and known International artists. Purchase an original piece from your favourite artist and support cancer research - it’s about making connections through art.
Proceeds from this show will go towards helping Marilyn Jetty Swim raise money for Cancer Research with Cancer Council SA

Early Morning Serene Lake To Daybreak Lake With Beautiful Birds
I am going to show you how amazing a Lake is with its different faces from early morning to daybreak. I will always cherish this changing of a Lake with such beautiful surroundings. I always loved to be there till the darkness arrived to make nature calm.
So what I see I will present to you very happily from my videos. For sure, I know if some one loved this atmosphere they will really like to watch it with peace of mind.
When I started to film, still the moon had not even left after the night at the serene lake along with the dawn wakeup birds.The time was about 5.45 am and you will see its still dark.You will see many species of lake birds and later on slowly the sun started to shine on the lake. Also the bird calls hear are mostly Asian Koels with Barbets, a flock of Yellow-billed babblers,Mynas,Parrots,Oriental Magpies & some many others. I do hope you will enjoy the nature surroundings by the lake :)
( Just want to let my dear friends know I am always at Youtube and not active in G+ :)

_____________________________________________________________
The Australian Magpie is a black and white bird. According to experts it is a large species of butcher bird, and is well known for its pleasant songs and the tendency to swoop people during spring.
It is a common species that is found throughout Australia including Tasmania. They can be found in most areas expect densest forest and arid deserts.
Groups of up to 24 birds can live together all year round, protecting their feeding, roosting and nesting grounds. The Australian Magpie will walk along the ground feeding on insects and larvae. The bird will also take handouts from humans and will venture into open houses to beg for food.
Generally the Australian Magpies are quite tamed, but during breeding season some individuals become aggressive towards any intruders that approach their nest, this includes humans.
The nest is situated 15 meters above ground.
They are also know as: Butcher Birds and Currawong

bushfire in australia and islam | Birds of Prey Are Deliberately Setting Forests on Fire BindasLog
Why These Birds Carry Flames In Their Beaks
Australia's indigenous peoples have long observed firehawks spreading wildfires throughout the country's tropical savannas.
Australia is no stranger to fire: The hardy landscape is adapted to blazes, enduring many thanks to humans and lightning. But Australia’s Aboriginal peoples have long identified a third cause: birds.
In interviews, observations, and ceremonies dating back more than a century, the indigenous peoples of Australia's Northern Territory maintain that a collective group of birds they call “firehawks” can control fire by carrying burning sticks to new locations in their beaks or talons.
The idea is that these birds of prey use fires to help find food—making easy meals out of insects and other small animals trying to flee the blaze. (Read how wildfires form and why they’re so dangerous.)
The anecdotes, compiled in a recent study published in the Journal of Ethnobiology, may lead some to rethink how fires spread through tropical savannas like those in northern Australia.
We're not discovering anything, cautions co-author Mark Bonta, a National Geographic grantee and geographer at Penn State University. Most of the data that we've worked with is collaborative with Aboriginal peoples... They've known this for probably 40,000 years or more.
Feeding Frenzy
For decades, people in northern Australia have considered firehawks—the black kite (Milvus migrans), whistling kite (Haliastur sphenurus), and the brown falcon (Falco berigora)—part of the natural order. (Learn more about National Geographic's Year of the Bird.)
According to co-author Bob Gosford, an Australian indigenous-rights lawyer and ornithologist, these birds of prey thrive in wildfires, soaring and perching near the fire fronts that rage in Australia’s tropical savannas.
“Black kites and brown falcons come to these fronts because it is just literally a killing frenzy,” he said in a 2016 interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. “It's a feeding frenzy, because out of these grasslands come small birds, lizards, insects, everything fleeing the front of the fire.
Each year, up to 75 percent of Earth’s tropical savannas burn—accounting for about half of the biomass that burns each year worldwide, according to one 2015 review.
FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE
WATCH: Sometimes the best way to fight a wildfire is with fire.
Australia is no exception to this rule. From 1997 to 2011, some 18 percent of Australia’s 730,000 square miles of savanna were affected by fire each year, on average. Some regions see fires once every two years. (Watch a massive fire tornado sweep the outback.)
“I have seen a hawk pick up a smouldering stick in its claws and drop it in a fresh patch of dry grass half a mile away, then wait with its mates for the mad exodus of scorched and frightened rodents and reptiles,” wrote Waipuldanya Phillip Roberts in I, the Aboriginal, a 1964 autobiography of Roberts compiled by Australian journalist Douglas Lockwood.
“When that area was burnt out, the process was repeated elsewhere.”
Elusive Firehawks
When Gosford first stumbled across this passage, it later inspired him to collect firsthand accounts of the behavior, which he has doggedly pursued since 2011. Though he hasn’t witnessed it firsthand yet, some of his firefighter co-authors have.
Previously, some local experts had been skeptical of whether hawks were setting fires intentionally—or were merely doing so unintentionally. (See photos of wildfires scorching Australia during a record heat wave.)
THE YEAR OF THE BIRD
In 1918 Congress passed the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to protect birds from wanton killing. To celebrate the centennial, National Geographic is partnering with the National Audubon Society, BirdLife International, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to declare 2018 the Year of the Bird. Sign the pledge to find out this month's action and share your actions using #BirdYourWorld to increase your impact.
“If [hawks] have missed the prey and perhaps grabbed a stick... they will then drop that stick or rock,” wrote Anthony Molyneux of the Alice Springs Desert Park in 2011. “If the stick is smoldering or on fire, it will then start another fire.”
The new study's sweep has impressed outside ornithologists, but more details will surely come to light.
Though Gosford and his colleagues solicited photos and videos of the behavior, they haven’t yet received any usable footage. They hope to document the behavior in the field later this year, by closely studying a series of controlled burns administered by local firefighters.

Nature,Trees & Birds - Early Morning Journey Over the Lake Bund
This shows a jeep ride on the lake bund in the early morning on the way to the sanctuary and coming back in the afternoon. You will realise and admire the serenity of the surroundings on this journey.
The morning journey was around 5.30am and in the open jeep it was so chilly and breezy. It was also a bit cloudy with less light and I really admired the surroundings.
The next session you will see is the journey coming back on the very sunny lake bund in the late afternoon from the sanctuary.After 6.24min it is a bit shaky and I hope you will not feel too dizzy :))
I do hope that this jeep tour will not be too boring & tiring with me:) I am so happy to share this marvel of nature with you !
