Ernie's Spring Time Garden

Today it is definitely Spring in this garden. 

The lively colours and lovely delicate flowers of the grevilleas and callistemons 

make intoxicating honey for the Eastern King Parrots.

This afternoon, most of the parrots are still sleeping off their morning excesses, 

except for one sensitive soul named Ernie - so called for his earnest taste in music. 
Hit it, Ernie!!!

When he gets a belly full of nectar you just can't get him off that piano!

  

Ernie is playing Clair de Lune (Debussy)

Saturday Night

Here it is! the ONLY REAL Saturday night song!
Classic Australian rock from 1984 - 
still classic today, 
and not only with the ancient old baby-boomers ...

Peaceful Water, but?

Photos that wanted to be paintings ....

in two far-apart places.

And deep under the surface, music* telling a darkish story 

from the Finnish and Slovak underbelly....

Goodness me!!

1. In Monet's garden at Giverny, France - a very painting-y place 

2. In the botanical gardens at Brooklyn, NYC - a very peaceful place
