Just before Christmas, I bought a net for my apple tree but by the time all the festivities had ended and life resumed a more normal pace, there were many small apples on the ground and those that remained on the tree had lots of beak marks and chunks missing. I guess I have left it too late. Oh well, there is always next season. Meanwhile it is kinda fun watching those little feathered apple thieves do their worst, little camera hogging posers that they are.

This summer has been particularly wet. My grandfather used to say that it always rains after a drought! Guess he was right!!

Earlier, the Hollyhocks were in full bloom, their tall stems reaching skywards. The pretty, fluffy pompom flowers were a treat. They remind me of some crepe paper flowers one of my aunts taught us how to make when we were kids; many, many years ago. (Yes, that would be J :) )

Love this blog. Great shots of visiting and feasting Rosellas, and gorgeous pink hollyhocks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robyn. Those Crimson Rosellas are quite delightful. I've previously had a parent feeding its baby little pieces of apple when the baby was too young to eat by itself.
