The date chosen to celebrate our country is (I believe) disrespectful to our First Peoples who see it as invasion day - a day when their lives were changed in many ways. And not for the better. I would be happy if we could chose another more inclusive date. The Big Swoop is a gem, and I am very fond of our magpies. Sadly I don't know who the artist is of the other sculpture...<br />Thank you for your kind words/thoughts for Batty.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-53796418836314105492023-02-02T06:53:07.293+11:002023-02-02T06:53:07.293+11:00How is Batty today.How is Batty today.Sandra Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814573408898140885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-9618896404914301882023-02-02T06:52:43.969+11:002023-02-02T06:52:43.969+11:00Deniz Bevan: Thank you.Deniz Bevan: Thank you.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-84504559593111563702023-02-02T06:29:10.307+11:002023-02-02T06:29:10.307+11:00Sending hugs to Batty!!!

I don’t know much about your holidays and I should rectify that. Great Sunday selections! I enjoy glass city buildings, and the reflections of the trees are lovely. Both real Magpie and Sculpture Magpie, very interesting, beautiful statue to brighten our day. I’m glad it’s been left alone and never quite understand why people feel the need to destroy things. Great idea on the misting. We could do with that on hot, humid days here, but that’s aways off yet. It would be interesting to talk to the artist of the other sculpture, to figure out what message he is projecting. So sorry that Batty is not out of the woods yet, sending lots of healing thoughts his way.DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-89731986231294914222023-02-01T20:41:46.357+11:002023-02-01T20:41:46.357+11:00Sending you and Batty {{hugs}}
