A Mountain Moment

Running, playing, living as I moved through the dense bush land of Kosciuszko National Park 

the mountain pygmy-possum scurries up the rocky mountain range.

The smell of eucalyptus leaves and blossoms pass me as  I sit and take in my surroundings 

I notice a small pygmy possum nibbling on Mountain Plums the sun pierces his eyes and he dashes into his tree hollow with fear in his eyes.

The aroma of misty rain  wafts in the air and I continue my adventure in this tranquil wonderland.

With damp moss and slippery rocks under my feet I await another glimpse of this precious mountain creature to show himself once more.
