it is getting cooler here - i see so many beautiful birds in Canberra, for example a crimson rosella on my morning walk the other day. Canberra is a beautiful city, full of parks, lakes and surrounded by mountains. the birdlife is wonderful.. more beautiful birds

and the place where I'm staying (yarralumla) is full of birdlife, and the occasional kangaroo..

some of the leaves are just starting to go yellow and red as the days get colder..
