ROSELLA
Rosella bursts out of the tree like a flower.
I want to live in that time spiral.
You don’t even know you’re alive:
the sap flowing through your veins’
deathless insight.
These jasmines overhead,
flying by my wooden home.
~ Paul Magee
G'day Veen, A beautiful Crimson Rosella. Did you take the photo? we get the Eastern Rosellas in our Melaleuca trees when they are in bloom together with the Rainbow Lorrikeets. I have a special spot for parrots, they all seem to have their own personalities.
ReplyDeleteYes I did mate. Any pictures that have the "Veen" caption is taken by yours truly. I was backing the car out from the garage and she caught my eye, camod against the plum blossoms. What were the odds of that?
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree...they seem to have a personality of their own, that's for sure.
rosella - amazing, veen.
ReplyDeletere an earlier post - mutterings 45 - are they rosellas as well?
cheers

Hi Gord, the birds in Mutterings 45 are called Galahs...another type of Australian parrot. I have some great shots of Sulfur Crested Cockatoos, another Australian parrot (bad ones though...highly disructive). I will post them shortly.
