nature's glory


waratah flower and kookaburra bird
australia's natural habitats and creatures are so uniquely, amazingly, glorious!... who knew?!! i didn't quite realize until  i began creating this custom mobile for a new baby (due feb.1st :)
cockatiel, brumby, koala w eucalyptus, frill neck lizard, waratah flower and kookaburra
"brumbies" are wild horses in australia
i've never actually seen a koala freely munching in a eucalyptus tree (we have a giant eucalyptus tree in our front yard, so it would be awesome)...well, only at the l.a. zoo.
and i've only ever seen cockatiels in pet stores here but i can imagine how fantastic it would be to find them in your gum trees, laughing with the kookaburras!
and the frill neck lizard! now my son wants to dress up for halloween this year like this...
thank you australia for all your inspiring natural glories

Aw you've captured our kooky fauna so beautifully Kim! Love everything, especially the frilled neck lizard. We just returned from a camping trip – we were woken by kookaburras cackling their heads off, every morning (and an enormous wombat nuzzling our feet, looking for food).
