Deb's Scavenger Hunt - On the Shelf

Linking up with Deb's Scavenger Hunt - On the Shelf

My tea shelf - am into fruit teas at the moment, Mango Peach being the current favourite:

Then across to the pantry, where my assorted collection of Asian sauces live. When I make a stir fry, in goes my hand and whichever 3 bottles I grab - that's it!

... down to the next shelf, where chaos reigns. Looks messy but, would you believe, I know precisely where each condiment is in that basket... well, usually :D)

Thanks for the idea Deb. There are lots of other shelves to be seen - pop over and have a look.

Cheers, and thanks for the visit :D)

In My Garden Today

Joining in with Deb's Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt - In My Garden Today... are birds.

First of all is this beautiful female Bower Bird who is a regular visitor to this part of my garden.

I think it's because of that blue pot. She's partial to the colour blue.

Apart from the fact that it matches her stunning blue eyes, she might be thinking it's a gift from her mate who woos her with gifts of blue items arranged perfectly within his bower. I hope to be fortunate enough to photograph it one day.

She also enjoys taking a drink from her own special blue bowl.

In another part of the garden, Mr and Mrs Blackbird have been tirelessly constructing a nest. The wind has been blowing strongly for most of this month so far, and we've watched them working hard.

We've left little offerings for their nest, which they've taken.

Here's a long distance shot I was able to get of their nest. It's in the Pineapple Feijoa tree, which is starting to blossom. It's a sturdy nest in the crook of the tree.
