Season's Greetings

A post of bright things to suite the day!
This is yesterday morning's sky and although bright and beautiful it didn't bring any rain - which we desperately need!

These Rainbow Lorikeets greet me every morning.  You can't miss their beautiful bright colors - and neither can you miss their raucous greetings.

I'm off for a very early kayak on the bay then home for a typical lavish Xmas dinner with family and friends.  I wish everyone a great day!

You are welcome to some of our rain Mick - floods here in the UK. There's no way that bird could be called anything but "Rainbow Lorikeet" is there? Lovely photos. Best wishes for the New Year - you will be there sooner than me.

Gorgeous, colorful birds those Lorikeets Mick. They have excellent Christmas colors. Merry Christmas and a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year to you and yours!

Nice pictures - I was watching some in my garden over a cup of tea this morning.

I saw a TV prog a few years ago about a community that was having is gardens destroyed by the Turkeys. I think I'm glad I dont have that problem.

Cheers and thanks for lining to WBW.
