The calendar says it is spring. The fruit trees are blossoming, so the calendar is probably correct but the dead giveaway that we might just be edging away from the gloomy greyness that characterised this winter is the behaviour of the birds.
The behaviour of these two sex obsessed Superb Fairy Wrens to be precise.
These two little wrens have been flying around the house for three days now,singing their little hearts out. They spend ages trying to chase off their rivals which also happen to be their own reflections. Silly birds.
They are singing outside the window right this minute.Their chirpy twitters make me smile and I have had my camera close to hand for the first time in weeks.
This photo also reminds me that I might just need to wash some windows.
But who can be bothered washing windows when there are kites to be flown?
The rainbow coloured kite made me smile. I had bought the children various kites over the years but we have too many trees and the wind is too swirly for successful kite flying here at home. So it was with great delight that Veronica’s paddock proved to be the perfect spot to fly a kite. We all had a turn and it was lovely fun.

@ Lou
That’s Davey, not me!
That’s Amy??? She’s so big….
When I lived at Semaphore I used to walk along the beach watching the kite flyers practising for their competitions. They were amazing. The kites were beautiful to look at and the way they could make them swoop and swirl was wonderful.
I love how the bottom picture seems to continue in the previous one, and how you used sepia for that one and color for the rest !! LOL at Lou’s comment, I guess he’s been staring at the horny birds too much! ROFL!!
I’m glad these two birds inspired you to pick up that camera again! My guess is, your Mom sent them!
Beautiful photos.
Beautiful sky.
Hope is a nice thing to have.
