Sunday morning walk. Birds in flight. On the right a Noisy Miner and down near the palm trees a Blue faced Honeyeater.
There were many birds in the trees and they seemed quite agitated by our presence, wheeling around. I only had my standard 18-55mm lens.

Sea Road, Felixstowe, Suffolk, looking NE with Harvest House on the cliff-top.
(Harvest House was designed in 1903 by well-known local architect Thomas Cotman for Douglas Tollemache. It was a grand seaside hotel, the "Felix Hotel", until 1952 when it was turned to office use by Fisons who gave it its present name. Since 1986 it has been retirement flats and apartments.)
The color palate is much darker than most of Janicke's paintings and it was the second largest canvas in the show. Hemp canvas??
From "Best-Ever Pastry Cookbook" - Exotic Fruit Tranche (now with the fruit atop the filling). OM NOM NOM.
To my surprise, the Morton Williams supermarket at LaGuardia and Bleecker has a very impressive selection of imported foods, including the delectables shown here. There was also a large array of those rectangular German cakes, lots of licorice, cardamom coffee, Cadbury Flake bars labeled in Arabic, . . . Most of it I'd seen before elsewhere, but the Swedish candies were new to me.
Both McVitie's are good, but I wish they had Plain Chocolate Caramel Digestives. That would be perfect.
This place resembled some tropic island for a little while when the temperature rose to 30 degrees Celsius for a couple of weeks.

The Kauai Aadheenam Hindu Temple is home to many rare and beautiful plants that the monks tend to lovingly.
They are sent these plants from all over the world to be taken care of and preserved in the sacred Pihana-Kalani ("where heaven meets earth"). The monks consider it an honor and a sacred duty.
Coleton Fishacre is a property consisting of a 24-acre (97,000 m2) garden and a house in the Arts and Crafts style, situated in Kingswear, Devon, England. The property has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1982.
The house at Coleton Fishacre was built as a country home for Rupert D'Oyly Carte and his wife, Lady Dorothy Carte, between 1923 and 1926. The architect was Oswald Milne, a former assistant to Edwin Lutyens, who designed the house with the principles of the Arts and Crafts Movement in mind: simplicity of design and quality of craftsmanship. The influence of this older movement notwithstanding, the house is influenced by its own time, especially in its Art Deco interior. The structure is built of local slate rubble with a Delabole slate roof. The design has been twice featured in Country Life magazine: 31 May 1930 and 25 October 2007, the latter of which shows full colour photos of the house (exterior and interior) and the gardens. The property runs down to the sea, where there are some outbuildings.
Although built as a country home, Lady Dorothy lived in the house as her primary residence by the later 1920s. After the Cartes' divorce in 1941, their daughter, Bridget D'Oyly Carte, took over the house, which her father, who lived in London, would visit for long weekends. She sold the house in 1949, after his death, to Rowland Smith, owner of the Palace Hotel in Torquay. The house is a Grade II listed building.
The garden at Coleton Fishacre runs down a narrow coombe from the house to the sea at Pudcombe Cove. It was originally planted by Lady Dorothy and features rare and exotic plants, some of which are unusual in their ability to grow outside a tropical climate due to the proximity of the Gulf Stream to this part of the coast of Devon. Lady Dorothy was noted for retrieving exotic plant species for the garden during her journeys abroad. The Cartes employed a staff of six to maintain the garden, compared with a staff of four to run the house. The garden is Grade II* listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
