Smoky Morning Walk

Taken today on my walk with the Nokia 530 windows phone …

We all have wood heaters around here, and these mornings the smoke often hugs the ground.

the leaf cover on the trees by the dry creek is almost gone, soon it will only be the evergreens, the belladonna lilies are sprouting as expected

  1. Your cockatoos really love visiting and seem quite part of the family!
    We have wood fires around us too, and I do love it that we still are able to have them. The foggy smoke looks terrific!

  2. What do you mean by the wood fires?

    I enjoy taking walks with you and the birds have me in awe. To see them so close and have them nearby like you have, would send me. I love birds and these especially. 😀 ❤

    Years since I’ve seen smoking hovering over the ground, brings back the smell of the smoke, the chill in the air and the sun rising. Lovely. The cockies look like they have got together for a bit of a gossip.
