WT1097 - Kookaburra

Photo Details

Poster: helekins

This is a Kookaburra - another Australian native. I had to laugh (ha ha) when I saw the sentiment for this because it is definitely just right - as you really have to wonder what the birds are really laughing at when they start up early in the mornings.

Hope you enjoy.

Love this! We were in Australia exactly two years ago right now. At one of the places we stayed (near Bellingen, NSW) they woke us every morning with their unhinged manic laughter. It was bizarre and hilarious at the same time so your image and sentiment cracked me up. Love it. Nicely framed, great colours.

Helen, this is the coolest image and what a fun sentiment. Your framing is perfect for it. I would love to hear them/see them in person. So many very cool things about Australia. How fun for you living there. Beautiful card. Hugz

Super card! I love the image and the sound of these birds. Maybe I wouldn't if I heard them early in the morning instead of just on-line. :-) Our robins start at 3 am here sometimes in spring. Have yet to hear them this year.

The kookaburra illustration is wonderful, and the sentiment could not be more fitting. The warm kraft tones and layered framing give the image such presence, and the mix of textures from the patterned papers adds great depth. The whole design captures the personality of the bird so well.

Cool papers. I think this one is my favourite, I've always liked kookaburras ever since I was like and I've actually seen them twice in raptor centres here and in France. But oh my, the noise! It's certainly the right sentiment.
