Rainbows

This week Inspiration Avenue has chosen 'rainbows' as the theme.  That's easy for me.  My garden is full of rainbows... rainbow lorikeets that is.

One of 'my' birds in the 'summer red,' a hybrid eucalypt.

I can only call this a 'galah confrontation'

But of course, if we were meant to do something creative....

    Your birds are amazingly beautiful! I can't imagine having such gorgeous creatures in my back yard here in Maryland, USA. Love your rainbow forest too!

    Helena... Yes, we are very lucky to have such an abundance of wild birds visit our suburbs. Keep on practising that Photoshop!! The more you do the more you learn.

    Sherry... Thank you, I love my birds.

    Funny how your post just prompted a lesson in South African birds! I was showing my partner what birds visit your garden and he began telling me about SA birds (he grew up there!).

    Makes ours here in the UK look a little dull...

    Kat... Amazing how a pebble thrown in the pond makes all those ripples.

    Carola... Thanks so much. Perhaps I should do a post on ALL the birds in the garden?

    Kiki... Thank you. I just LOVE colour.
