Good close-up of the Kooka nics.

Good morning all,

Very overcast - my orchids are blooming - a perfumed garden.

Good morning!

One from the Internet, because much as Mother Magpie, here, loves me, she'd Never let me borrow her baby.

Good morning everyone.  Awoke to the sounds of the Bellbirds in the distance.

Thank you Henry Kendall:

By channels of coolness the echoes are calling,
And down the dim gorges I hear the creek falling;

It lives in the mountain, where moss and the sedges
Touch with their beauty the banks and the ledges;

Through brakes of the cedar and sycamore bowers
Struggles the light that is love to the flowers.

And, softer than slumber, and sweeter than singing,
The notes of the bell-birds are running and ringing.

Morning Lloyds.

And the soft hum of the lawnmower :
