In July, the Winter light is soft but a chill wind blows.
We are all feeling blue.
Except for the Superb Fairy-Wrens.
Everyone is extra hungry.
No harm in looking.

Galahs happy to share with the horse.
Ama is the ice-queen.
Any rain is welcome as drought tightens its grip.
The promise of Spring.
Every month Su from Zimmerbitch hosts a monthly photo challenge called The Changing Seasons. Click on the link to find out how to participate.
As I am leaving on my road-trip tomorrow, I won’t be posting much over the next month (except for a book review that I’ve scheduled). But I will be collecting some photos for next month’s The Changing Seasons.
Have a lovely August.
Take care.

the bird is adorable, the horse is beautiful and I could cuddle with that very fluffy dog. Is he a cuddler?

Ama is the queen. Affection is on her terms. Thankfully she likes to be the centre of attention so does require pats and stroking under the chin. She does not like to be picked up however. In other words, she is very catlike. 🙂

haha! Having two cats, I can relate to that! I bow to the queen.

Thank you, Jane. We had to go Pacific Highway because the doctor thought it was not the best idea to go hiking in the cold inland. So we are having a sitting holiday instead, brunch, coffee, etc. Keep looking at all the national parks on the map though. 🙂

Followed you on over from Margaret’s blog… I have never traveled to Australia, but would love too visit someday. But as I grow older I an becoming more and more aware of how little I know of my own place. I love the description of the wren…interesting how it adapts to the seasons. Something we can learn from it. Have a great trip.

Thank you, Yes, there is always something new to learn about our world, including our home territories. There is so much to see and not enough time. I’ve discovered the boy wrens are already blue further north. :). Regards. Tracy.
