Trying to Stay Dry

Still raining here and we had 96 mm rain in the last 24 hours. More to come apparently too.

Looked out of our family room window today and saw these poor bedraggled lorikeets trying to stay dry. Not very successfully it would seem but at least they were sheltered a little bit.

An absolute delight! Fav.

[Maggiemae]

Poor wee mites - I daresay the rains slides off their oiled feathers though!
As long as the dye doesn't come out....lol!

[Yao RL]

I wonder if they will coming in if you open the door.

[eDorre]

So beautiful

[Diana]

How wonderful to have so many beautiful visitors, beautifully captured.

[Bill Davidson]

Brilliant….

[Kathy A]

Gorgeous birds.

Another day where we only had a brief shower although it has looked threatening all day.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wet week on the way! I got a little mowing done but mostly it's too boggy to mow much

[Babs]

@kjarn Can I move in with you it is still bucketing down here. It stopped briefly about an hour ago but has started again now.

[Casablanca]

I love it! My favourite Aussie bird. Poor things with their wet feathers

[Kathy A]

@onewing not sure it will make much difference, we are supposed to be copping it from Friday

[Brian]

This grouping reminded me of a school group in class - but they are too damp. Gorgeous birds

[Tia]

What a colourful sight! Almost a rainbow shot!

[Issi Bannerman]

Seriously?! Looks like you've photoshopped them all into this image. Great to see! What a line up.

[CC Folk]

Amazing how colorful these birds are! Fav.

[haskar]

It looks like a group bath. It was always fun to be in company.

[Babs]

@jamibann Definitely for real.

[Rob Z]

Oh - they do look miserable!

[Susan Wakely]

They don’t look happy but their bright colours add a little bit of cheer.

[Joan Robillard]

Fabulous

[Zilli]

Superb!

[Dione Giorgio]

Very sad to watch them getting drenched in the rain, isn't it? Lovely shot.

[Faye Turner]

Wonderful capture

[Wylie]

caught the little devils! ha ha, maybe the rain slowed them down a bit :)

[Pat]

Aw they do look a bit glum. Great photo opp though with them all lined up nicely.

[Corinne C]

Oh this is the cutest image!

[Cliff McFarlane]

How wonderful to have those in your garden. Well spotted.

[Mags]

Aww! A lovely capture and those chairs look just like my mom's. =)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

How cute is this. Love it.

[Merrelyn]

Delightful - we've still only had a sprinkle. The rain bands seem to all be splitting and going around us.

[Margaret Brown]

So colourful, love it!

[Angela]

A calm lineup. A weird sight though, viewing it as a Brit!

[Bobbi C]

How delightful!

[Olwynne]

They are so beautiful, so colourful. Lovely shot

Not a sight I have ever seen here in Georgia

[Dorothy]

[gloria jones]

Super capture

[Carole Sandford]

Wonderful shot with them all in a row!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Even in the rain they look so delightfully colorful!

[Islandgirl]

Oh my they are adorable, at first glance I thought they were ornaments around the table!

Such pretty birds

[Christine Sztukowski]

Poor things! Lovely photo though! We are just now going through some very heavy storms in Houston and Yelena told me her friends in Oman had an IB exam rescheduled due to rain...

[Judith Johnson]
