February didn’t see me taking many photos. I was feeling rather uninspired and a bit flat. A lot of things were happening and I think that a lack of rainfall was one of the reasons I didn’t get out and about finding new and wonderful things to share.

So this month it isn’t a case of getting a cuppa or snacks. I won’t take up too much of your time so scroll on folks

Perhaps this shopping cart sums up my month.

With the heat and lack of rain, the fire crews were doing their best to make sure everyone was safe. From my besties place near the airport, the fire crews and the spotting helicopter flew out every morning.

An angel of the sky, the Sky Crane does wonders in helping the ground crews put out the fires. We watched as it flew out in the mornings and back in late evening.

Enough of the gloom. Here’s a Koala climbing a tree. It looks like he has Koala shorts on too.

I had to include the inquisitive Pacific Heron who was frog hunting on my dam.

The Bar-shouldered Dove doesn’t look all that impressed with the White-throated Honeyeaters sharing the bird bath

Up close a Bar-shouldered Dove looks quite pretty even if the wind is ruffling feathers.

Every morning and evening, the Ibis fly over the house either to feeding grounds or to their roosts.

There is nothing better that laying under the shade of a Pandanus Tree on a hot day at the beach.

Remember the little Sand Crab. Well here he is again

The little Blue-banded Bees are buzzing around the garden checking out the Pentas flowers.

Despite the hot dry weather, the butterflies are returning to the garden. The Orchard Butterflies enjoy the Pentas too.
At night, the outside Velvet Geckos hang around getting their snacks from the insects hanging around the light that spills from the house onto the verandahs.

The Full Moon reflecting on the water with a rare rain shower at night.

I wonder if the mural or the lock on the door came first.

OK the sun is setting and here you are at the end already.

I hope you found a favourite
