One more day until 2020 ends!!
2019: Stay away from negative People
2020: Stay away from positive people
According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2020 was the Year of the Rat🐭 ...and it will last till February!!
So we've been spending the entire year holed up, only briefly leaving to get food, running at the sight of other humans, and transmitting infection.
Thanks for your visit and comments, much appreciated! Have a great day!

The last time I photographed a laughing kookaburra, I was in Australia ... Pandemic obliges, I was closer ... to a bird park, (Parc des Oiseaux, Villars-les-dombes, France), and I met this amazing character who seemed to take pleasure in being observed.
The laughing kookaburra is well known both as a symbol of Australia’s birdlife and as the inspirational “merry, merry king of the bush” from the children’s song.
According to an Aboriginal legend, the kookaburra's famous chorus of laughter every morning is a signal for the sky people to light the great fire that illuminates and warms the earth by day. The legend captures the imagination, but the true function of the familiar cacophony is to advertise the territory of this bold bird.
The Laughing Kookaburra is the largest of the kingfisher family, but unlike most of its relatives, it is sedentary and occupies the same territories the year round. Before spring breeding season, when family groups adjust their boundaries, an observer can actually locate the territories by listening to the noisy choruses at dusk as each group calls in turn and awaits the replies of neighbouring groups.
Your age is measured by your dreams not by the years.

Isn't that what some wrinkles are called? This tulip, even though it hasn't much life left, still has a lot of beauty, in my mind. The wrinkles give it so much more character ;)

This is a very merry couple of Laughing Kookaburras, annoucing every new day with lots of laughs before the sunrise.

It was on the clothes line in our backyard this morning.
They laugh. It was slightly rainy yesterday evening and they were laughing so seriously. When they laugh, they laugh so super hard that if you hear multiple kookaburras laughing together you'll laugh so much till falling down 😆

*They're a type of kingfisher but so big.
Much bigger than our parrots.
This kookaburra was sitting in the tree in our front yard. The photo was taken through our open balcony door and the kookaburra was at about eye level.
Fort Fisher - This jetty seems to be a popular "hook-up" spot - just the other day I photographed Plovers in almost the same location! It's great for me cause I can can photograph from a slightly lower vantage point than the height of the jetty!
