I'm not surprised Mr Totties has flown through about being on the bottle or an unrelated Jack! Are you sure you aren't blinded by absinthe and whiskey?

Captain Gorilla is blinded by a most fashionable colour combination. Suits you ;)

Gorgeous photos. Babies and bottle brush, you can't beat that! And All RED. I love red!

You do appear comfortably blended into this environment Red Mojo! Don't let being an expecting mutated Mum go to your head, the bottlebrush reminds me of endless hours wasted with a toilet brush! };-} HAHAH

Anon,your photographs are beautiful, a real image of the flaura and fauna that is naturally Australian. I am amazed at how many unique species your continent has. No wonder you strongly object to the implants and illegal aliens :-). Have you seen a Lyre bird yet?

Thank you Ces :) I haven't forgotten about posting wildflowers at the photography blog (before Summer) and won't be doing my Lyrebird Camp until right in the midst of fire season December. BUT have seen plenty of Lyrebirds over the years because brought up in the bush :))

These are beautiful shots, Anon! Those bottlebrush flowers amaze me -- we don't have anything similar here -- and I love the wee wattle enjoying a bit o' brush in the bright sun. :)

Thank you Melissa :) That wee wattle bird is a wee annoying to photograph in the bright midday sun! Especially focusing between bottlebrushes whilst blinded! The brushes jut to all directions. Except now, they are ready for another prune because Jack ate the last one today!

Are these as tasty as the fruit cups in the asylum?

Probably tastier, Perriette! The asylum has been empty for a long time ...
