Animals and Birds of Australia.

March 14th 2019.

On our travels we saw many colourful birds. And we went searching for the Koala , though many call them Koala Bears in fact they are not bears at all. They are so cute to look at but apparently you have to watch if you hold them as their claws are really sharp.

The Koala loves to sit in the branches of the gum and Eucalyptus trees. They eat the leaves of the Eucalyptus trees. They are very sleepy creatures so it was good to see them looking around and not sleeping.

On our travels we didn't see any Kangaroo's on the roadside but we did see a few Wallaby's on the road side grazing. They like the Kangaroo are very unpredictable and can jump out at you any time so when driving and you see the warning signs you need your eyes on the road. We saw these mob of Kangaroos on the side of a golf course.

Here are a few birds we saw on our travels.  This cockatoo was high in the trees on our nieces and husbands property, he took me out with my camera and pointed them out to me. He did name them but I have forgotten their particular name as some have yellow crest and some don't. But they are very noisy very much like our squeaky Blue Jays.

Here is a Kookaburra sitting on a cut down tree trunk, they have quite the cackle laugh.

Here is a Lotus Pod after it has stopped flowering, I took quite a few pictures at the Lotus and Lily Farm. It was a great pity as it started to rain and so the pictures I took didn't do the flowers justices.

Here are a few more lily and lotus flowers.

Hope you enjoyed the photos of the animals, birds and flowers of Australia. I have a few more that I will post at a later date.

A few have asked how my arm was coming along. Just started into Physio and I know that with a lot of hard work it will come back. But at times it is very painful especially at night the pain wakes me up so I am still on pain meds. The muscles are telling me that I am working them and when I relax at night they seem to want to contract. They tell me it is not going to happen overnight, but a bit at a time. At the moment I can only just touch my nose with my finger but that is more than I could two weeks ago. My hand and wrist and elbow is moving so hoping to see what I can do to in the way of hand sewing.

During those wakeful hours in the dark of the night when everyone else is sleeping these words come to me, from Psalm 23 v. 2-3 may these words uplift you too.
