Sunset through the tree

Franks Tuesday Photo Challenge: Sunset

Most of this month the sunsets have had lots of colour mainly reds and oranges. I should have waited another day and I would have had the Sunset on Saturday post as mine for this challenge.

A few weeks ago, the fires came too close to my place and the sun was more orange as the atmosphere was smoke filled.

I love to splash

“Its OK, come on in my brother, I won’t splash you”
“That’s what you said last time”
“Come on, it’s a hot day and this bird bath is lovely and cool”
“Alright I will. Just don’t splash me”

“What was that? Are you splashing?”
“Oh no I’m not, it’s just my tail trying to get a bit wetter”

“Hey watch out, you’re getting water in my face. You know I don’t like that!”

“Now you really are getting water everywhere.” “Look at it dripping off my beak!” “You can’t help yourself can you”rainbow_lorikeets_bird_bath_fun_splash4_named_caniaba_oct 2019
“Oh for Petes sake, will you just stop splashing me.” “The water is cold” rainbow_lorikeets_bird_bath_fun_splash5_named_caniaba_oct 2019

Back Catalogue

Frank from Dutch goes the Photo prompt: Back catalogue

I have gone right back into the archives for this image. I had a great deal of enthusiasm to do more but it’s Tuesday the following week already. These photos were taken with my Canon Tlb SLR Yes it is photo prints from film that are stuck into an album and I can’t get them out. These are about 40 years ago I think. Even in those days I was getting photos of nature. The top is a Waratah a wonderful Australian native flower and the State emblem. The other is a fluffed up Kookaburra.
