The pied currawongs are regular visitors to our garden. They seem very intelligent and don’t mind a snack of a little meat left out, which we give them only occasionally as regular feeding is not good for them or their chicks.
The fruit bearing clusters of palm trees are called drupes. This is a close-up of one cluster of drupes from a Pygmy Date Palm from my yard. (I also have another variety of palm that produces huge drupes of orange, fiberous fruit, each drupe cluster weighing about 20 pounds or 9 kilos.)
The drupes emerge from a protective pod (also pictured) that hardens into wood after opening. The little balls on the stalks are flower buds which will turn into tiny yellow flower clusters before going to seed.

I need to get these paper wrinkles in a row………...almost done.
For the theme group "Looking close... on Friday!": "In a Row".
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 1st of April is “a single flower”. Just by chance, the day the theme was announced, I walked out into my rear garden and saw that the first “Plantation Pink” Camelia Sasanqua in my hedge had burst forth. The hedge is covered in buds, but only one single flower, so it seemed appropriate to select it for this week’s theme. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
Vigorous and fast growing, Camellia Sasanqua “Plantation Pink” is an upright evergreen shrub with masses of large sweetly scented single to semi-double, soft pink flowers and a wonderful centre of golden yellow stamens. The blooms occur over quite a long period between March and June in the Southern Hemisphere which makes them very popular. They are often used for hedges or to cover walls.

My dad always kept all of his spare nuts, bolts and screws left over from various projects. They came in handy now and then. I carried on the tradition when I got my own place. However, I never envisioned using some of the spares for photography! I had a box of these nuts that I haven’t used in years.

Sehr scheu sind sie, diese Mandarinenten, immer gut versteckt unter den Büschen, die am Ufer wachsen und deren Äste sich übers Wasser strecken und immer schnell weg, wenn sie sich gestört fühlen.
Umso glücklicher war ich, als ich heute gleich mehrere männliche Mandarinenten in ihrem herbstlichen Prachtkleid entdeckte! Sie waren, mit einigen Weibchen, auf einem Nebengewässer des Baldeneysees unterwegs bzw ruhten auf einem versteckten Ast über der Wasseroberfläche. Ein herrlicher Anblick! Besonders da das Wasser die herbstlichen Farben der Bäume spiegelte.
They are very shy, these mandarin ducks, always well hidden under the bushes that grow on the shore and whose branches stretch over the water and always quickly away when they feel disturbed.
I was all the happier when I discovered several male mandarin ducks in their autumnal dress today! They were, with some females, on a tributary of Lake Baldeney or rested on a hidden branch above the water surface. A magnificent sight! Especially since the water reflected the autumn colors of the trees.
