Today my husband and I got a rare opportunity to go for a little stroll together...sans children!
Their Grandma took them for a bike/scotter ride so we escaped as well.
I took my camera...like I have to tell you that!
And here is what I snapped...
 |
| I think this is a female or juvenile fig bird. |
 |
| Bird of Paradise...how stunning are these flowers?! |
 |
| Someone told me these are called Crucifix Orchids. |
 |
| I don't know about you, but I see Simpsons characters in these flowers! |
 |
| Beautiful bougainvillea! It's almost winter but these make it look like summer all year around! |
 |
| A sweet Blue Faced Honeyeater |
 |
| I spy a Crested Pigeon in the tree! |
 |
| A juvenile Blue Faced Honeyeater...which is green faced. |
 |
| A scrub/bush/brush turkey. What do you call them? |
 |
| I was willing myself to see a stingray in the canal today...and guess what...?! |
 |
| A banksia seed pod. |
 |
| Old man banksia |
Great photos but especially love the Crucifix Orchids :)
ReplyDeleteWOW!! No wonder you wanted to share them all. They are really beautiful. Thanks for the ID on the Crucifix Orchids. I took a pic of them several weeks ago and had no idea what type of orchid they are.
ReplyDeleteNice - and how many times can I tell you I am jealous of all the wonderful things you can photograph - even at a time of year that here we would have practically nothing to take pix of.
ReplyDeleteStill hoping to get there next year - you will take me on a photo walk, won't you? :-)
You betcha!! :)
