My Backyard

This is some pics taken from my back door

 

Birds in our bamboo - mist in the valley

Looks like "Bird on a wire" but it's "bird on our bamboo"

There is nothing prettier than a great sunset.  We are very fortunate to see them quite often from our own backyard, which just happens to look out over the Glasshouse Mountain Ranges (you can just see the tips of the various peaks).  Sometimes we get amazing lightening shows when there is a big storm and you can see the wall of rain coming your way.  We get aircraft flying down almost at eye level too.  And the birds fly right past our noses.  These are just a few pics of what we enjoy on a daily basis.  What do you having hiding in your backyard ??

Purple Rain

It's a great song, Purple Rain, and it looks like its raining purple in my street when the Jacarandas are in full bloom.

I can see a couple of Jacarandas from my backyard too. I took this photo below as I sat on my daybed and sipped a glass of red wine a couple of Sundays ago. I don't often take the time to just sit and do nothing so it was a really nice change. The sunshine in the late afternoon, the mountains in the distance and the purple Jacarandas are a great combination.

I will never tire of the view from my back deck - how could I !!!
