Scavenger Hunt 11/Floral Art Flowers from our garden... Grevillea Crepe Myrtle Plumbago Red Gum New South Wales, Australia

Isn't life contrary. Yesterday's challenge called for a bee, and I hadn't seen one since June. Today, in the neighbourhood, quite a few around. Great that they are back. :-) Taken in a short time, as we had our dogs with us. Winter, New South Wales, Australia

out for a walk with the dogs. I'm not usually quick enough with the camera to catch these beautiful native birds. Rainbow Lorikeet, feasting on a Grevillea, New South Wales, Australia

Just cannot resist taking photos of this twisty Callistemon flower, in our garden. In the rain, which is very welcome. New South Wales.

Saturday challenge... Fast shutter speed 1/500 to catch a tiny bird, which flits about really quickly amongst the branches, feasting on this Moonlight Grevillea. Bee in PiP at 1/250

Origin unknown, but this is similar to a quote from Mahatma Gandhi. I have been familiar with it for many years.

Blue faced Honeyeater on Honey Gem Grevillea. Seen on our morning walk with the dogs. The Blue-faced Honeyeater is a large black, white and golden olive-green honeyeater with striking blue skin around the yellow to white eye. The crown, face and neck are black, with a narrow white band across the back of the neck. The upperparts and wings are a golden olive green, and the underparts are white, with a grey-black throat and upper breast. The blue facial skin is two-toned, with the lower half a brilliant cobalt blue. Juvenile birds are similar to the adults but the facial skin is yellow-green and the bib is a lighter grey. This honeyeater is noisy and gregarious, and is usually seen in pairs or small flocks. It is known as the Banana-bird in tropical areas, for its habit of feeding on banana fruit and flowers. birdsinbackyards.net/species/Entomyzon-cyanotis Saturday Self-Challenge 1/Spring... also Jacaranda in comment
