It's dry

I'm doing birds because there isn't much going on with the flowers.  It is extremely dry at the moment so the flowers, even pesky plants like the blackberry and St John's Wort are refusing show their faces. The leaves of softer plants have shrivelled up.

We have had lots of rain in the mountains for the past couple of days.  I am hoping some of it managed to reach Clandulla.  On the weekend the skies were grey but refusing to drop rain, whereas when we reached the mountains it was raining steadily.

This bird is a rosella.
