Fur and feathers…

Just sharing a bit of fun for a change. Take a break from the current online doldrums and enjoy the cuteness! And for a prayer point, simply praise our Creator for His love of beauty and the variety which He brings into our lives.

Though not as memorable as the human conversations, we have made a habit of photographing Keith’s interactions with some furry friends belonging to our various hosts on our travels. Most are new acquaintances this year, while others have been a case of revisiting past good times of pats, tug-o-wars, and belly rubs.

We have also seen a variety of birdlife in both urban and rural Qld locations. Settling into the church housing at Bell has provided an ideal opportunity for some bird watching. The feathered locals have been conditioned to being fed by the previous occupants, so getting up close shots has been quite easy – we don’t even have to leave the comfort of the back deck!

Yeppoon – Intermediate Egret (a classier ‘bin chicken’ )
Chinchilla weir – Pelican ( as if I had to tell you )
Chinchilla – Apostlebird
Chinchilla – Pied Currawong ( don’t call me ‘Maggie’ )
Bell – Grey-crowned Babbler
Bell – King Parrot? ( happy to be corrected )
Bell – Double-barred Finch / Crested Pigeon ( crowded at the buffet )
Bell – Rainbow Lorikeet ( the greediest of the lot! )
