Today I am participating in the City Daily Photo theme day. Thinking of Red in this part of the world it's hard to go past the beautiful plumage of King Parrots.
And in the forest majestic red Waratah flowers will be coming out soon.
Everyday delights in Penrith, Kandos in mid-western NSW and beyond
Oh, such a cutie-pie!!! And the flower is beautiful, too!
ReplyDeleteRed is such a wonderful vibrant colour wherever it turns up.
DeleteI love the waratah but your capture of the King Parrot's head is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI love the waratahs too.
DeleteNice pair of images. The bird is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe are fortunate to have lovely colourful parrots here in Australia.
DeleteThe parrot is gorgeous! Perfect choice for the theme.
ReplyDeleteIt was a toss up between the King Parrot and the Crimson Rosellas. But the red on the King Parrot is a little more vibrant so I chose that one.
DeleteWhat beautiful birds and such a great photo.
ReplyDeleteKing Parrots are quite tame, usually keen on being fed so he was being cooperative for the camera.
DeleteThat parrot is so handsome!
ReplyDeleteYes very handsome. The female is also a handsome bird.
DeleteWhat a beautiful bird!
ReplyDeleteThey are fairly happy to engage with humans which makes them even nicer.
DeleteWhen I think Australia, I think red. You've captured that Australian red beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think Australia I think the colour of eucalypts or the red centre. I was going to dig up a photo of the desert to use then decided I should stick closer to home, hence this choice.
DeleteGosh that's a stunning shot of the King Parrot, two excellent images for the theme Joan Elizabeth 💙
ReplyDeleteHe is a beauty.
DeleteI had a flock of King Parrots visit us on our deck last Sunday, so nice for the first day of Spring. They are very tame and allowed me to get quite close to take a photo.
ReplyDeleteWhen we arrived at Kandos yesterday there was a flock in the almond tree. I am always pleased to see them.
DeleteSplendid choices!
