King parrot in for a drink.

It's been so dry in Stanthorpe that more parrots than normal are coming in for a drink.

Great shot of a very beautiful parrot...

I look at this picture and it's still hard for me to wrap my brain around parrots living in the wild! Good shot!

Lovely soft treatment:)

You are so lucky Rob! So much wonderful wildlife

Nice with the soft surround.

@madeinnl Thanks Ko - Me - and my camera - are not very good at this sort of shot - it's hard to get the focus to be any good! He is a beautiful boy though - actually I just looked more closely at him - he's not a King Parrot at all - he's a Crimson Rosella!! DUH!!!

@olivetreeann Hi Ann - they are wonderful to have visiting. There are quite a few varieties up here - all very colourful. :)

@fbailey Hi FB - ADD tendencies are definitely appearing here - no discipline at all - just - "Oh Look -it'll do this or that!!" This was a play with the tilt shift effect. Will have to get serious soon...... :)

@suzanne234 Hi Suzaane - we are very lucky - as you say. And we really value our time up here. Thanks for your contimued support! :)

@nobled Thanks Dorothy - but I misnamed him! He was a Crimson Rosella!!

@robz So pleased you're having fun, I would be lost without Elements now, especially those fab Nik filters. With your next tilt shift try being at a higher vantage point, on a hill or a few floors up in a building looking down:)

@fbailey Thanks for the suggestion FB - it'll have to be the look-out - we haven't got many double story buildings here.... Food for thought!!
