kookaburras
yesterday I had a couple of visitors.....
these gorgeous kookaburras were sitting warbling on the verandah outside the kitchen...
luckily I was able to pick up the camera and snap some photos of them without frightening them away...
I think the one on the right might have been a younger bird...I thought his head close up looked a bit like an emu! Very cute!
Aren't they beautiful?
and here is one of the orchids just blooming in time for Spring ...in case you missed them in my previous post!

Fabulous pics of the birds. I've never been able to capture a good shot that close. - MARILYN
Gorgeous orchids!
This evening for the first time in Forever I watched a movie called The Boys are Back which is probably from the late 1600s, but anyway it was set in Australia. Loved the movie, but somewhere in the middle of it, after thinking about Australia, I started singing the nursery song, "kookaburra sits in the old gum tree doing whatever he does blah blah blah". You see, aside from the fact I can't remember the lyrics, my kids have been out of that stage for a while, but I always loved that song and never SAW a kookaburra (to the best of my recollection) until here tonight....eerily the same night I was singing that song. It's really an incredible coincidence as far as I'm concerned.
Love the photos and I obviously love the topic of kookaburras.
Sorry I don't get over here more often, but always enjoy your photos and your words. Thoroughly.
And yes, that one bird does resemble an emu! So delightful.
