You will know, dear reader, that I like to rise early; for a long time because of early starts for work but presently merely out of habit. Even last night's tough tai chi session didn't keep me down.
When the noisy miners start up, it is usually a sign there is a visiting bird, be it a kookaburra or crow. Once, we found it was a koala. Today was another visit from our friendly Pacific Baza...looking a little more harassed one has to say.
From a distance, it appeared to be doing some level of gymnastics in the tree as it sought to grasp a branch...
 |
| Grasping for the branch |
 |
| Stretch...(like last night's tai chi moves) |
 |
| Like a different bird... |
Ruffled its feathers...and then...
 |
| Shake that booty |
 |
| I'll escape you wascally miners... |
 |
| Or I'll come and get you... |
 |
| Away... |
Good action pics practice. But still much room for improvement.
Later this evening my orchestra was off to the other side of town for a concert, part of a fundraising effort for the Wavell Heights community. Quite a nice way to end the week and...
...yes! Long service leave has officially started. Now I can take Baza pics out the back without feeling like I should be doing something else. Roll on rest.
