For a change of scenery, my little friend liked the convenience of strutting the roof gutters to reach other tasty morsels... pic.twitter.com/xLjfEpMBPq

tucked in bare wintering branches and a fence...

If you look carefully, there can be a little more than a tangle of bare, wintering branches a construction fence... pic.twitter.com/lDDIPV7QFJ

dissolve self-pity...

It's a cold,wet,grey,rainy,Melbourne,Saturday morning..Too easy to slip into negative thoughts...But last night I chatted with a friend+realised...The best way to dissolve self-pity is to help https://t.co/MeOiK49EWu else in need...Magically, self-pity transforms into self-worth. pic.twitter.com/JpzOEKdckL

Took this photo of rosellas this morning between rain showers...

The rosella above seemed to be watching over the one below...in a caring kind of way...

These rosellas gave me the idea for this post, following on from, almost validating an experience last night, when I put my own concerns aside and tried to help a friend with family issues...

the blossom thieves are back...

The blossom thieves are back...Even though the Melbourne day is a bit grey and grizzled with rain...it must still be early spring... pic.twitter.com/IEGXy9XaUV

These bright red rosellas love autumn...collecting their own treasures... The rosellas like to enjoy an autumn feast anywhere...the roof...the lawn...the front driveway...
