I was unfortunate enough to be right on the spot to capture the pathos of this heartbreaking incident. As if they had not all suffered so much already.



Love can be so cruel.

Neighbours



The Rainbow Lorikeet is well named - almost every colour of the rainbow.

The trichoglossus haematodus is found from 25-30 cm in size, and with a wingspan of about 17 cm.

They vary significantly in colour, but our neighbours are dark blue or violet-blue head and stomach, a bright green back, tail and vent, and an red/orange breast and beak.

Hot Pashun'

P1020278-1

This passiflora specimen is taking over a trellis on my garden fence.

You can never have to much passion. In this case it is passiflora cinnabarina, the passion in this case is actually referring to the Passion of Christ, rather than any damp bits.

Tumbledown Dick

Tree down tonight on the way back from Narrabeen Beach, where we had been to watch the huge seas generated by the storms on the eastern seaboard of New South Wales.

Just before we got to Terrey Hills, a tree came crashing down across the Mona Vale Road westbound carriage way at Tumbledown Dick.

Very Exciting

On the Harbour !




Yes ... when we go fishing on the Harbour, we have to pass under the Bridge and past the Opera House.

Here we are heading East, down the Harbour - it's about 4kms to Sydney Heads and the South Pacific from here.  It's a tough life.

New Zealand ?  Straight on.
