'dem flowers are back again... by maggiemae

'dem flowers are back again...

Another day, another challenge!

I put out sugar water for the birds having heard a Tui arrive in our property. Tui didn’t front up but wax-eyes did and below were these tiny ‘star of bethlehem’ flowers. I have photographed them before but now cut them quite short and put them in a cute little Japanese thimble like vase - probably used for tiny shots of strong liquor!

Three good things;
1. Ignored my Fitbit’s efforts to make me ’stroll’, step, whatever’ My fitbit has to be recharged by putting into an electrical plug! I don’t!
2. My book kept me reading and reading - the sign of a good author!
3. Whats this about crumpets not having enough CO2 to be made in England! We have lots!
Cute photo - what’s the title of the book that you are reading?

Thanks. We have lots of tui at present. They are first to sing in the morning and last to bed at night!

@dide We are in the town area and in the 7 years at this property, never seen a tui! When we lived in the country a bit further out, we saw dozens. I do like their song!

Never heard about a Tui. Had to google and found out that a Tui is a kind of honeyeater. Never too old to learn.

@gijsje They have a beautiful song and a white tuft under their throat!

I love the soft pastel background and the fabulous detail in this photo composition is gorgeous and would make a wonderful piece of art to hang on someone’s wall! I think my fit bit has died and I am not sure how I feel about that!

Great presentation. Lovely shot.

Beautifully arranged maggie! That vase is perfect, I think the whole thing is quite small. Hope you get some visiting Tui birds! We have no crumpets but luckily it's far too hot to eat crumpets, we are having a massive heat wave with temps in the 30degC

I wonder the name of your book.

@happypat Funny that - no hot crumpets in the heat. Just had crumpets with cheese,tomato and mushroom on them!
