Over the fence roses ~ Floral Friday Fotos

We had a delightful elderly neighbour, who always encouraged me to pick any of her flowers (and lemons) I wished.  Some lovely conversations were had, over the fence, alongside her roses.

As it does, age caught up with our lovely neighbour and she passed on.  Her house was sold, but I'm fortunate in that the tradition of me doing a little bit of over-the-fence pruning is still ok.

I gathered these pretties just recently, and their intoxicating perfume filled our house for a week.

Satin Bower Baby's Bathtime ~ Wild Bird Wednesday

Joining in with Stewart's Wild Bird Wednesday once again, after a long absence.

I'm thrilled to add my photos of a juvenile Satin Bower Bird having a bit of bathtime fun right outside our windows.

We love having the Bower Birds in our garden.  Their arrival on the verandah is never quiet - they land with a thump and have taken over a certain bowl that I keep full of water.

We were extra delighted this year as they chose to breed in our garden and so we had the fun of watching their young develop.  I was lucky enough to get some quick shots of this little one, out on its own and obviously doing a good job of getting cleaned up.

I feel a most stunning feature of theses birds are their piercing blue eyes.  Here's a shot I took years ago.
