Colours in the sky

As cool weather rolls in, sunset's glow with the new seasons colours. How beautiful it is to stroll around the yard gazing at the clouds through the black lace of tree silhouettes!

Feeling Excited!

Bird seed feeder for wild birds.

4/4/2015

 
Here is a photo I took in my yard last year of a wild white sulfa crested cockatoo. He is checking out a birdseed feeder I made from a plastic bottle.
Picture
I made this feeder with smaller birds in mind. But he didn't seem to mind that he couldn't sit on the stick perch or that his head only just fitted through the opening.
Picture
Here is a female king parrot enjoying seed from the same feeder.
Picture
I think she liked it.

    Personal blog by RJ Simon. This is where I post random musings and share photos from strolls around the yard, road trips, and life in the Australian bush.

    ​I used to post updates about my writing and illustrating here too, but the website now has a updates section especially for that - all the new updates will be posted there.
    So if you're looking for book release dates or things like that check the new:
    ​ updates section.
    If you're looking for information about Ruby Lane here check the
    ​ Ruby Lane page
    or the
    Ruby Lane Blog 
    There is also a:
    ​ Ruby Lane Facebook Page
    Again, this is my general blog​ so if you want to see photos of the little Australian animals that come to visit me, find out what I've been up to in the garden, or read about older works this is the place to look.
    I also have a general page on Facebook here: RJ Simon
