What Now??? Brush-Turkeys.....

In the 30 years I've lived in Sydney, I have never seen a Brush-Turkey...until now. Not only that, they are wandering through my yard. I guess I will have my own personal menagerie pretty soon.

Green Fingers.....More Like Green Bugs!!!

In Oregon I had to compete with slugs and little sunshine but here in Sydney, my tomato plants have battled storms, wild winds, blazing sunshine, possum attacks and now scary green bugs! Not much I can do about the weather. I have Naphthalene out to keep the possums away. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep these pesky green creatures away from my fruit????

Rainbow Lorikeets In My Yard!

One things I LOVE about being back in Sydney, is the wildlife. It is abundant, beautiful, creepy, scary and I am constantly in awe!


This morning I found a family of Rainbow Lorikeet's devouring the spidery flowers on the Grevillea tree that overlooks our deck. I spent a few days hanging around so that they would become accustomed to my presence and then a bit more getting them used to my camera. I love having them visit. They make the cutest sounds (unlike the vulgar Cockatoo's).
