And here it is – a napping Kookaburra.

It arrives and sits a while and then gradually with the warming sun his beak drops and hits the balustrade and there he naps contently and safely. It’s such a heartwarming photo I had to share it with you all.

Summer is coming. The temperatures are rising and I am reminded of conflicting feelings of this time of year. The beautiful mural in Bondi making a case for the possibility of peace.

“Life itself is the most amazing thing. Just to realise that could make us all sing. Why cant the red, yellow, black and white stop all this fighting and learn to unite. Put down your guns and make all the horror cease. If you truly love your children do it for them for they are the future”.

Deck the halls … yes it’s all here already and we listen to the piped music in the arcades and see the baubles bright and brazen.

I take the bus home and the music is replaced by the whirring of lawn mowers finessing their grass patches while waiting for…

The start of summer and Claus are both round the next corner.
