In my garden

It has rained these last few days, bringing cooler weather, and snails.

Before the rain, we had very hot days and blue skies, with droves of bees loving the flowering ivy. At this time last year, we had lots of wasps but it looks like the bees are winning in 2016.

I hope you are having a good day. Thanks for looking. 🙂

In my garden today …

I very nearly had a photo of a silver-eye bathing in the small top pond, but the sun shining on the window foiled my plans. This is why you aren’t seeing the cockatoos lately – too many reflections on the window glass throwing back into the lens.

I coaxed the lorikeets out of the tree with some apple, else I wouldn’t be able to show you those, either! They let me get quite close to them.
