Costume

Ok, it's a bit of a stretch, but I was struggling with this challenge word, and I want to share this pic, so here's a tree 'costumed' in corellas and cockatoos. Just after I got home from work I heard a lot of squawking and squeaking from outside. Looking out of the window we saw a cloud (the best word for it) of white parrots fly over to land in the huge tree next door. I was too slow to get an in-flight shot, but see how many birds you can see in this pic (then triple it and you're probably getting closer to how many are really there!)

My trees are "costumed" in baby galahs - a second round for this season. Lovely capture. This must be a glorious sight.

[Carolyn White]

Wow! Beautiful capture!!!

@ubobohobo Your tree sounds very cute :) After some clambering, preening etc. the birds moved into the trees across the road, and have now roamed off elsewhere, probably to the local park where they like to hang out.

[Brian Baptie]

They look quite at home!!

[Sylvie]

@cfitzgerald I'm going to try the 'found alphabet' challenge with @olivetreeann - I just have two treasure hunt words to finish off first (funny and Moon - could be tricky!)

[Jane Hyde]

great idea for the theme

[Giffy]

Great shot...wish we had birds like that here!

[Dixie Goode]

Gorgeous, when we see a tree like that it is filled with egrets and heron.

[Mary Tjeerdsma]

Creative and beautiful! I have seen tons of blackbirds in a tree but never pretty birds like these.

[Mark Buehl]

Cool shot. It must be nice to have such beautiful birds close by.

[Vicki K]

fabulous capture

[Anne ❀]

wow,that's a very cool capture!

[davide]

beautiful capture Alia! the trees agains the sky look gorgeous. You did a good job with the exposition

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Nice stretch for the word- but then, aren't we supposed to be creative here? I like how you made something unusual work for the word- and it truly must have been a sight to see! I'm back in town now and must get to work on my alphabet challenge. Nothing like starting your own challenge late!
