From Lofty:
Saw these Little Corellas canoodling, eating and bickering in a city park today. Often they congregate in their thousands on the open grassy areas around dusk but I didn’t have my camera along a few days ago. They are easily spooked into wheeling clouds of screeching featherbrains. These I caught by zooming in from the bike path trying to not make any unusual noise or sudden movements.
They are gorgeous! Click for full size.

This is fun. One of these days, I’ll have to mix up proper paints and all that, try to do it right. (Not that I’ll ever be able to do that.) For now, play is good. Click for full size.
