    Another reason to enjoy living in the bush capital is the abundance of bird life. The main road into Canberra (Northbourne Ave) was overtaken with white cockatoos this morning and even our garden has been know to house crimson rosellas, rainbow lorikeets and the odd king parrot – all of them stunningly colourful.

    I confess I’m not usually immediately drawn to imagery with people in it. I sometimes look at the human form as detracting from a landscape or texture and if you have read my blog a while I’m sure you would know that about me by the images I choose. In a flickr search I came…

    Doing my usual Sunday morning flickr browse I came across the gorgeous work of Jek in the Box. What got my attention given my current fascination with bunting, garlands and flags was her 10 garlands in 10 days challenge.
