OUR WORLD & World Bird Wednesday - Galahs


Just these Australian iconic parrots, Galahs, photographed in the 
inland. Dark clouds always set them off well.


I haven't managed to post or visit for a while, things have been
just a tad chaotic . . .


Do enlarge these so you can see the colour of their eyes.

    Hi Dear Arija. These are such sweet beauties, and I adore their colouration!
    I had not e-mailed you, due to just trying to rest as often I can.
    The Cardiologist rang me up this afternoon and I have
    Supraventricular Tachycardia
    as part of my problem and will have a procedure done next week. I am praying this shall resolve this issues.
    Thank you so much for your caring heart.
    Hugs~

    Splendid birds - although I seem t find it hard to get pictures I'm happy with of them. These, by the way, are great!

    More rain today - with heffalumps making too much noise on the roof!
