The Australian bush has several dead tree which are housing heaps of animals so actually they are not dead, they are very much alive. And gorgeous against the bright blue sky!
We were walking in Bold Park this afternoon, a beautiful autumn day, when I tried to get these colourful birds, hiding in the tall dead trees, on the photo. My zoom doesn't go far enough though... unfortunately...
Update on my raven, he is coming back every day for a morsel or just a chat on the veranda. His damaged wing is healing, there is an odd white feather sprouting on the quil that sticks out but he seems to recover and is able to fly a bit more every day.
I have no idea what kind of marsupial this is but he was frolicking in the gardens of The Loose Box restaurant last weekend and wasn't reall scared of us... Poor bugger has several full tics in his neck...
Last weekend we were staying at Brookside winery and walked through their amazing gardens when I saw this piece of beautyful resin on one of the trees along the creek. It was quite big, like a little hand ful.
The shell of a Longneck Turtle which I picked up a few years ago and left it in the garden. The sun dried the shell so much it cracked this year and revealed a stunning pattern.
Nothing can compare to the original shapes of flora and fauna. Life is beautiful and while wandering around I regularly have a lucky find of some real pretty things. I used to take them home but nowadays I take my digital camera with me and leave them in place. They are my inspiration!
