WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The WeekendRoundup and the letter is A and Across. This first photograph is of my granddaughter ANNIKA who was the speaker at their scholl chapel recently.  She can ACROSS as a very clear and confident speaker.  The second shot is a table mat (paper) which we each had for Australia Day dinner.  I hope you are able to read some of what it says.  My final shot is me taken when I lived ACROSS the other side of the world!

WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY

 Australian Boobook

The smallest owl on the Australian mainland, the Australian boobook is 27 to 36 cm (10.5 to 14 in) long, with predominantly dark-brown plumage with prominent pale spots. It has grey-green or yellow-green eyes. It is generally nocturnal, though sometimes it is active at dawn and dusk, retiring to roost in secluded spots in the foliage of trees. The Australian boobook feeds on insects and small vertebrates, hunting by pouncing on them from tree perches. Breeding takes place from late winter to early summer, using tree hollows as nesting sites.

Seen at the Botanica Lifestyle Resort where I live.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The WeekendRoundup and the letter is Z and Zany. Certainly in Northern Ireland I am not familiar with the word ZANY so hopefully these 2 shots fits the bill.  Found this ZANY Doctor when I visited his surgery recently. The next shot is of a ZANY boat with lots of amusing ZANY things on or round it.  I think the man who put the boat here must also be very ZANY.  Now what do you think?  The final shot is my REFLECTION photograph.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The WeekendRoundup and the letter is Y and Yesterday.I was wondering what one earth I was going to photograph for Yesterday and I came across this plant called YESTERDAY –today –tomorrow.  So as I had never heard of this plant I thought I would share it with you.

Its Botanic name: Brunfelsia australis. 

An evergreen shrub which grows slowly to around 2-4m (6 -12′) tall and 2m (6′) wide. The foliage is dense and medium green in colour. The young leaves are often purplish in cool weather. The flowers are very sweetly perfumed and appear from September to late November. When they first open they are a violet colour, fading to lavender blue and then white, with the three colours present on the bush at the same time.

This shot was taken at Mount Stewart Lake, N.Ireland and I am using it for my RFELCTION photograph.

WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY

These photographs were taken across the road from where I live and I was hoping that the Jabiru were present, however no chance.  I was just starting the photograph the birds where a large black bird of prey lifted all the birds (perhaps a Black Kite) and that was the end of my photographing them!
