Winter Skies

You can tell it is winter, the temp has dipped down below the 30's a couple of times. That is 30 Celcius equaling about 86 Fahrenheidt which means that I have to dig out my longest shorts and maybe even a sweatshirt. There is very little humidity at this time of the year and the colors of the countryside seem to be so vibrant and intense. The last one is a couple of black cockatoos taking off. I passed a spot that had recently been burned and that must have caused some seeds that they particularly like to pop out because there must have been 50 or more eating. Of course by the time I stopped, turned around and got back, most of them had gone. Only these few left, see the red spot on their tails, it is unbelieveably brilliant when you see them in person.
