Hello again,
We are still waiting for all the autumn leaves to fall, our trees are about half done, I watched multiple people last week stop, hold up their phones and I guess they record a short video. I was far more interested in the large group of Gang-Gang Cockatoo, I usually hear these long before I spot them, they sound like a rusty hinge creaking and have only ever seen them in small groups of four or five, this week I counted 19 all at once, flying in to eat gumnuts on the local Eucalypts. As usual with Aussie birds the male is more brightly coloured than the female. He has a distinct red head; the female and juvenile birds are plain black to grey.
Today brings us to a new Anything Goes Challenge with my team mates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this challenge is sponsored by SheepSki Designs who kindly gave our team 2 images to work with, I have used Coffee and Cake #173 opting for the cake only for a birthday card. We are still on the lookout for some new members of the design team, if you would like to join us you can find out more information here.
