Babies on Display
Over the last week we have had hatchings of Red-browed finches, Sparrows and Blue Wrens. We are so lucky that the parents trust us enough to bring their precious little ones onto our front lawn to play and feed. I am sure there have also been honeyeaters ha...

Skywatch
A change from sunsets. These beautiful clouds fascinated me earlier this summer. I find cloud formations so beautiful and varied in their form. Liz Needle  linking with Skywatch Friday .
