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. This week for something completely different I am returning to some of my obsessions.
We have had a fledgling galah visiting this week. A whinging, complaining, fledgling galah. He/she is perfectly well able to eat but complains at length to the adults.
The young ones have very much more muted colours than the adult (presumably as camouflage).
First the young 'un.
And now the much more vivid adult.
On Friday we were visited by a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets. They are well away from their natural territory - but very welcome.
We have had some hot weather lately. Too hot. Much of the garden has baked, but the tiger lilies (and the weeds) are loving it.
The hoya which we picked up cheaply from the markets a few years ago because the owner was tired of waiting for it to flower is also doing well.
The blooms always remind me of cake decorations...
And the obligatory sunset. And yes, mad woman with camera dances were involved.
Next week an elderly uncle of the smaller portion is coming to stay with us. I expect to be kept too busy to spend much time in the blogosphere so will be largely absent from Tuesday on for about ten days. Have fun, and I will see you when I return. Or if I can sneak a few moments to myself.
