World Bird Wednesday - Grey Fantail +

The Grey Fantails have been around since late summer and try as 

I might, I don't seem able to get a good shot at them.

Same place, just cropped

and flitting just above the ground.

I thought I'd throw in an Adelaide Rosella for good measure.

They are just coming into mating plumage.

Happy birdwatching everyone!

SkyWatch & Nature Notes ~ Fog

Fog, like a creeping thief

came silently at night

stealing away the hills

and houses that we knew

trees close at hand

loom up like ghosts,

the jewelled pond at sunset

is tucked within the bag upon his back

and is no more.

Only the nearest garden fence

has some existence,

all else has gone into

a whiteness dense as rock,

no sky, no landmark

and no sound or call

an eerie stillness

blankets over all

and still he creeps . . .

dim headlights loom

and tremble as they

inch upon their way

where all that yesterday

was bright and gay

on waking ,

has been spirited away.

Shadow Shot Sunday ~ This and That

The fence and I . . .

What shadows lurk to hide the bold

or trees on water tanks enfold?

Happy New Year, I do so now: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
