So February was Flora!
March is going to be Fauna, more particularly
"BIRDS & BEASTIES"!
Day 64 - This picture was taken at Wild Life Sydney Zoo. These are a pair of Greater Bilbies - they are about the same size as rabbits, a small nocturnal marsupial. It is estimated that there are only a few hundred left in the wild in arid parts of Northern Western Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland. Some people in Australia have tried to encourage us to have Easter Bilbies instead of the Easter Rabbit, but it really hasn't taken off very successfully!
Day 63 - Butcherbird - similar to our magpie - has the most amazingingly complex song, which is heard next after the kookaburra's dawn laughter
Day 62 - Large Green Tree Frog - this shot was taken last Winter when the frogs are much quieter and docile. This big fella (about as big as they get) sat quite happily on my left hand while I took photos of him with my camera in right hand
This is a follow-up to yesterday's shot, because this is what the cow meadow looks like today! We have had 200mm (8") rain in the last 60 hours and this is the result!
Day 61 - the cows in the meadow (paddock here in Australia) This photo was taken last November when it was relatively dry. Last weekend it was under water and by the end of today, probably will be again - 'Rain, rain, go away!'
Day 60 - one of our beautiful resident "Laughing Jackasses" or Kookaburras.
They sing their 'Dawn Chorus' laughing their heads off, just before the sun rises.
Our B&B guests at 'Artisans ...on the hill' love them!
Day 59 - Grevillea 'Moonlight'
Day 58 - I love ordinary, old-fashioned white Frangipanis
Day 57 - Red Kangaroo Paw
