Sunday Selections #246

Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.
 
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life.  The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent.  Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.  Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
 
Like River I usually run with a theme.  I am continuing the 'home and away' theme this week. 


Starting with home., revelling in birds and the garden.


An adolescent crimson rosella, pigging out on our veranda.



King Parrots.


Corellas.  I was in danger taking the last shot, and he let fly just as I moved away.


A sulphur-crested vandal cockatoo.

And just a few shots (really) from the garden.  Ok, I lied.  Several shots from the garden.  Some of the roses are starting to come out.


Woburn Abbey.


Oklahoma.


Brindabella Pearl.


A rock rose.

A dratted dandelion I didn't spot till after it had flowered.


 A bearded Iris I love.


Snowball tree entwined with banskia rose.

Now to the more exciting part of the post.  He is loving Moscow but the temperature shift was huge.  It was over 30C in Iran (85+ F) and is struggling to reach 2C (35F) in Moscow.  A much better temperature for walking though.



St Basil's Cathedral.  Which would look amazing when there was snow around.


 These were taken inside a shopping mall near Red Square, and the ones below it in and around Red Square.





I think this is the Bolshoi Ballet building.
