balancing act

This clever galah can stand using one foot on a barbed wire fence to eat his dinner! I can really relate to that at the moment!
I liked the textures of the feathers and the seedheads in the low sunlight.

I am overwhelmed and amazed by the response to my shots this week. :) Trying to catch up with eveyone when I can....
