Cee’s On the Hunt for Joy Challenge week 3: Jump for Joy
I will be waiting for this little fellow to be big enough to be able to hop out of the pouch and jump for joy, speeding around my garden.

The Daily Word Prompt January 6: Thirst
As this drought drags on I have been putting out water for the birds (I always have had bird baths and water for birds) and animals. Since the fires have ravaged my property I have also been putting out Macropod food for the Wallabies and any other marsupial who cruises through. The food is dry so they need a water source nearby to quench their thirst.
An Olive-backed Oriel enjoys a drink
A Pied Currawong dropped by to quench his thirst
A drink and a bath was needed by a couple of Rainbow Lorikeets
The Crimson Rosellas lined up to take their turn
A King Parrot really enjoyed his drink
A Red-necked Wallaby and her Joey found the bucket of water after they had a snack
The Big Bloke, the boss of the garden, licked his lips after a drink 
I have always had bird baths place around my garden. There are big ones, shallow ones and small ones that the birds come to every day for a drink or a quick splash. I also have a number of containers on the ground and tucked into spots in the garden for the animals that may like a drink, mainly small animals. I fill containers daily in this long drought I am currently experiencing.
One such container is on the garden seat where Satin Bowerbirds like to get a drink. Yesterday I was in the kitchen and looked out of the window and to my surprise a Red-necked Wallaby was having a drink. Wallabies normally drink from the dam. I have never seen a Wallaby drink from the containers in the garden before. She must have been thirsty.

You may wonder about the weird colour in the photos. The smoke from the nearby bushfires is quite thick and the sunshine is quite coloured. Shadows are muted. As you can see there eucalypt trees have dropped their leaves to try and save themselves in this drought. The Sun certainly highlights the dead leaves. A lot of these leaves are on the road which have been raked away from buildings. The bush where I live is very dry. The only thing that will stop these fires is rain.
I am keeping safe and watchful. The Rural Fire Service is doing a great job keeping everyone safe.
