Great photo! you guys Down Under have colourful birds, indeed...
Yes, the numbers and the variety are amazing. BTW, that bird is a king parrot. The were four of them which settled in a small tree next to me and the one close up was within arm's reach.
This was just under the birds but they weren't interested. Not that I blame them.
It was a dark and stormy night...
The storm front that spawned several tornadoes and flattened a huge area of north Dallas. We had very heavy rain, but aside from a very short burst of small hail, no problems.

I know that most people in tornado country have little choice and they simply, or not so simply, live with the consequences... I lived in earthquake country most of my life and you get used to it. Just as random. Just as deadly. Just as destructive.It was a dark and stormy night...

Must be devestating to lose your home and all your belongings. May God. Bless those affected.

And I'm so not used to it. Coming from NZ where the bird life is comparatively positively dismal, I still get excited at how wonderful it is here. Where else do you get 100 cockatoos taking over your front garden? They eat your roses, tear apart your clothes line, dismantle the peg basket, and who cares? They are just too beautiful to deny their company.

Yes I did Helen. It's a nasturtium which must have come from a stray seed.
Incredible!It was a dark and stormy night...

Does any one know that most of the clouds we see are from the jets, and airplanes ?
back when I was a child,,,, we did not have all of these clouds........... that was
back in the 1940's....... My girl friend and I would bring out a blanket and lay in the sun to get a
tan,,,,,,,, so we seen the sky a lot...... very few air planes, and no jets at this time......
Very nice blue sky...........!!!!!!!

America has the Blue Angels (Navy) and the Thunderbirds (Air Force). I used to live close to a Navy base and saw the Blue Angels perform many times. It's really amazing how close they fly to one another in formation.
When I processed it, I was disappointed, because it didn't begin to convey the drama and the scale of that storm. Now, it looks better to me.
I grew up in Iowa, and now live in Texas, both in "tornado alley." One does indeed get a fatalistic contempt for tornadoes, likely as one does for earthquakes in seismic zones.
Driving into Dallas, a few days ago, I passed through the zone of destruction. The tornado cut right through a very wealthy neighborhood, taking out huge houses, and a very pricey private school. And as I saw a house that was missing a roof and two walls, I realized that it doesn't matter how wealthy one is when this happens. Your home is the material part of your life, and when it's taken from you, it doesn't matter if it's a shack or a palace; the emotional blow is the same.
The private school was just about to have Homecoming. Another private school opened it's doors so that the Homecoming could happen. And all sorts of prominent Dallas people were out in the streets, helping to restore the neighborhoods, which is a very good thing.

Oh right...Nasturtiums... couldn't remember the name.
What amazes me is the baby violets 'Johnny jump ups' ...which get seeded and grow in cracks and the most strangest of places. :)
A reminder that we can cling, and grow anywhere.
