Anyone want one?
Teeny weeny fungi among the weeds in a place that was once my lawned backyard.Damn the drought!
Beautiful but "Bwwarkky" Rainbow Lorikeet in my Grevillia.
Seriously, this guy was going nowhere.
Took the shot from about a metre away (hence the 'evil' eye)
I never tire of these guys they are so beautiful and so invisible in the tree tops.
Go figure . . . but they never, ever SHUTUP!

I love lillies, they're the only flower that will last two weeks

Huh? I thought ladybirds were carnivorous and ate aphids? Nice photos B.
ReplyDeleteIn the orange pleasure of Baino's photography, these were thoroughly enjoyable! The Aktor photo is magazine standard! So is the orange orange and the various twits plus things with wings! I don't think you need a tech course - just keep shooting! Thanks for the linky ;)
ReplyDeleteOh blah, Anonybirds linky has a "d" at its beginning ... will flutter by the others during the week!
ReplyDeleteHey I took that one of the band!!! PS, you look almost as good as Johnny Depp in the blog below!!
ReplyDeleteBrill!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your wonderful talent.
Makes mine... kinder level! :lol:
Thrifty . .damn right but they seem to like greens with their meat! Ooh you're little piggy is orange . . doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo
ReplyDeleteThanks Anony . . link is fixted. I've heard the key is just shoot, shoot, shoot and maybe one will turn out aight!
Hello shugga puss. . yeh you did but it was ORANGE so made the cut. I took all the others! And thank you, if I was a man . .he'd be the man I'd want to be! I lovez Jonneh
No, no, no, Grannymar . . you're going great guns. I just need to learn how to use the manual settings. The auto on the Canon are awesome . .
Awws. I loved the orange theme idea thingy. WOW I never realized how exotic Australia is!! I'm coming there one day. After hacking and cooking in England!!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, indeed.
So, you like orange, then? LOL!
ReplyDeleteLove the ladybird, but Thrify is right, they're carnivorous. They eat the things that eat your leaves! They're the good guys!
Do the cockatoos really just eat the pips out and leave the rest? Hey, you could use them like the squirrels in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Anyone for a de-pipped orange?
That's a nice mix of pix.
Shhhh. In re: Cockatoos. I'll send you shipping instructions via courier. I know guys in Long Beach. Just make sure they are packed up safe enough to survive the voyage. We'll split the proceeds...
ReplyDeletebaino, that's perfect!
ReplyDeletewho told you my color's ORANGE? ;)
great pics....
Ebs do you mean hiking or 'hacking' as in horse riding? My daughter is doing just that for a month looking after ponies and cooking for a family in Surrey (no pay tho!) It's a long way from Finland! And a good deal warmer!
ReplyDeleteJay, yeh I know, ladybirds do a great job on our miniature roses actually. And yep, bloody things knock all th oranges off the tree, eat the pips and just leave a pulpy mess to rot on the ground. Although frankly, I'd rather have the cockies than the oranges!
Megan you need to be careful, they're incredibly noisy and famous for picking up foul language! I don't think you could keep one 'on the quiet'
LW Really? Well there you go . . aim to please I do. (Actually it just seemed to be a 'theme' in my Flickr album . . . not intentional at all but it's a warm sunny colour right enough. I'm a blue/yellow girl myself.
Those are really nice photos.
ReplyDeleteOrangefest is over mind you!

Brilliant shots, Baino! :) I love the lilly and Rainbow Lorikeet. Keep 'em coming!!!
ReplyDeleteQuickie so it is but I wanted to use a colour that hadn't been grabbed yet!
ReplyDeleteNotsoanony: For great justice!
Thanks JD, means something coming from you! Although where you found an orange elephant, I'll never know!
Nice one Baino, just linking them all together now.
ReplyDeletewell at times everyone deserves relax
ReplyDeleteAbsolutly wonderful !, I used to love the Parots, I first thought when I wandered around Adelaide that they had escaped from someone !, Great Gallah that I am !
ReplyDeleteRed Mum - great meme if that's what it is I forgot to credit you! Looking forward to the links.
ReplyDeleteRopi: trust me I was extraordinarily lazy . . once in a while is good!
Moon: fanks pal. And finally, someone who's spelling is as good as mine! We had an escapee cockatoo once that arrived with the mob. He'd talk and sit on your shoulder but he left when the others did, it was quite a treat. No band so we didn't 'capture' him he was happy with the wild ones. Nothing like your lovely elephants tho!
I mean 'hacking', even though horses don't like me. Ok. The one horse I've ever communicated with. But he was cute anyway....
ReplyDeletedammit, it looks yummo!
ReplyDeleteTsup*!* Clapping wings at the orange bandits and rowdy rainbows hehehe wonderful orange collection you captured here Baino *!*
