It is just a paint can that was washed up by flood waters and deposited on the mud. My entry for Mundane Monday Challenge #122

Ooh Shiny
Looking around the garden it is always lovely to see a Spangled Drongo. Some days they can be a bit more shiny than other days.

Alley
The Tuesday Photo Challenge from Frank at Dutch goes the Photo: Alley
I have gone back in time to my first European tour and to the city of Rovinj in Croatia. It was hard to settle on a couple of photos as I have quite a few alley photos from Europe. I like these ones.
This alley was just up from my hotel. It has just the right amount of colour to lighten the mood of the alley.
This is one of my favourite photos of Rovinj

Aperitivo
For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge using the letters Ap I have dug out my photos of Aperitivo from my Italian adventure in 2015.
“Perhaps our favorite Italian tradition is the aperitivo, a drink/light meal that takes place at the end of the workday as a kind of warm up to dinner.” from The Art of Aperitivo
Aperitivo in Bologna
Aperitivo in Naples

Black and White Sunday: Structure – man made
I had this idea for Paulas Lost in Translation black and white photo challenge Structure but I switched to using my usual nature photos. This time I have a couple of man made structures.

Black and White Sunday: Structure
This photo challenge from Lost in Translation, Structure, has made me think of the structures that I like to discover and photograph. Of course I don’t mean man made structures but the wonderful structures in nature.
Look how the Spangled Drongo has attached the nest to the trees branches in a very loose looking structure.
It is just right for the Spangled Drongo to sit among the eucalypt leaves.
The Noisy Friarbirds nest is a jumble of strips of Stringybark trees woven into a basket like structure with a side opening
The most basic of nests has to be the Tawny Frogmouth. The nests structure is a pile of sticks in the fork of the tree. Shhh, don’t disturb the nocturnal Frogmouth.
Another jumble of sticks makes the structure of the Square-tailed Kites nest. There is a pile of sticks under the nest which didn’t sit properly and fell to the ground.
The Ospreys huge nest on an open branch where they can see all around. The nests structure of sticks, moss and a huge amount of Grandfathers Beard.
What nest wouldn’t be a nest without some babies!!! The cup like structure of the Grey Fantails nest is built onto the branch using spiders web to help make it stick.

Upright
One Word Sunday A photo challenge from Debbie at Travel With Intent
An encounter with the Red-necked Wallaby and her Joey in my garden.
“Now stand still and upright”
“Let’s see, you have to look your best”
“Awww Mum…do you have to”
“Hold still….I’ve just got to get under your chin”
“There you go…..it wasn’t that bad, was it?”
