10 10 10 A ten day retrospective..some new some old ...

a little retrospective of the last ten days...ten of my recent photos to mark the 10.10.10 event today here in Australia...the shaving brush tree recently at the Botanic Gardens...
a little lizard who came to tennis...
I have a thing about fungi....will have to show a closer view of this one sometime...
and of course the lorikeet, one of the better photos I have managed to get of these colorful little fellows....they are usually moving way too fast for me and my camera...
the crucifix orchid looked quite good too....
as did this Jacaranda yesterday....
and of course some beautiful Valentino gowns were on display at our Gallery of Modern Art....(not allowed to take photos, sigh)
it has been raining and raining...the dams are full, praise the Lord, and they are talking about letting some of the stored water out into the river in case of floods....
this scrub turkey crossed my path out at the university Schonnell Theatre yesterday also...I'll have to tell you all about that event soon...

and this at 8am at early church on 10.10.10

The scrub turkey walking across the blossoms is my favorite, Annie - though all 10 are perfect shots.

haha..yes, Donna I very nearly did trip over the turkey. The ones at home here usually run away when they see me coming...but that one on Saturday outside the theater wasn't going anywhere in a hurry. I think he thought he owned the place. Which, in some ways, he probably does! I am NOT used to them being quite so underfoot as he was!
