After quite a while – three weeks? four maybe? I awoke this morning to signs of rain.
Exhibit A – One drenched kookaburra atop a wet glass balustrade –
Exhibit B – Little Hoppy, my butcher bird with one gammy leg, waiting in the dryness of my back veranda for breakfast –
Exhibit C – My yellow and white frangipani, growing close enough to the house to allow me to take a photo without going out into the rain, with tiny beads of moisture captured on the leaves –
Later, baby magpie visited. The rain was light but consistent, and by the looks of the baby’s dry feathers, I think he may have hidden himself away amid tree foliage to escape the unfamiliar (to him) sight of rain –
And finally, Mount Warning. Just kidding. 😉 Actually, there was no sight of the mountain today, it was hidden behind the rainclouds. 🙂
In My World 
I know you have been hoping for rain. Although a small amount, it’s a start. 🙂

Wow you have some big birds 🙂 I put out sunflower seed for my little song birds. After the city illegally poisoned the Grackles I have not seen a bird-of-prey at my ‘hawk pole’ in 9 yrs 😉

We do have a lot of larger birds here, but the smaller birds are very welcome as well. 🙂

The plants seem to be revived from the slightest drop during our hot days. Unfortunately, so are the weeds. 😉
