Day 53 2016: Trying something new...

Day 53: ...while appearing to be an old-hand.

Or perhaps an 'old-wing' in this case. If I took a photo or two of that which consumed much of my time today, you would be looking at boxes, cartons, plastic bags...all the indications of a house in chaos. Ordered chaos, but, well, you know dear reader, how these things go. 

Luckily, there are moments where I step outside to breathe in the air, look at the sky, and realise the grass needs cutting as well. 

So it was fortuitous that the currawong made a return to the backyard after a few weeks' absence. Well, a few weeks wherein I had not seen them for a while.

Last time it was here, there was much being taught between the generations and today, for the first time, there was a discovery of the birdbath...

Tentative, mostly...

Bird whiskers in sunlight?

Catching the drop

Shaking it free

But it got the hang of it pretty quickly. But remained cautious at all times. Another useful lesson from the philosophers of the suburban garden.
