Along with Sami and others, here is my contribution today.
It is a mural but on a hoarding, so it will disappear at some point. A repeat of nice panels works well enough, and I think the artwork is good.
On the very left is a blue fairy wren, a delightful bird that hops and flits around, galah a raucous bird of the parrot family, then a wattle bird, your early morning wake up call, and in breeding season if near their nests, they will swoop down at you, making a clacking noise, but not make contact with you. Yes, I have been swooped by one. Lastly is a rainbow lorikeet, noisy and a very colourful parrots

I have often wondered what a galah looked like, after being called one in the past.
ReplyDeleteA galah is a slang word but is used to mean a pink and grey cockatoo. If you lived in Australia you would have seen them
DeleteOften prefaced by, 'a bit of a ...'. I've had them land on my balcony railing but not for a few years.
DeleteIs there no way those beautiful panels can be saved? This hoarding situation is on private property? You left me very curious. Be well!
ReplyDeleteI doubt it Darla. Murals are temporary art.
DeleteI appreciate your interest in the kratom debate and for sending a link. Watching the video, it restated what Scars and all other proponents claim. The gas station stuff is dangerous garbage. Its synthetic compound is extremely powerful and, yes, addictive.
ReplyDeleteThe more expensive natural leaf powder is very safe; overindulging causes nausea and vomiting, a 100% overdose deterrent. It's a shame folks get taken in by these evil money scams. ~sigh~ Best wishes, my dear.
Nicely clarified Darla. Thanks.
DeleteThank you, again, for your interest. Be well!
DeleteInteresting mural!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and certainly brightens up a dull area.
ReplyDeleteThat mural brightens up that area and good to see some birds there too, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteI like the colour and the sheer length of it!
ReplyDeleteVery bright and I like the variety of birds. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Andrew.
ReplyDeleteSami, I hope you daughter is safe. Awful business.
DeleteGreat colors. Hoarding is a very regional word. Here is would mean to collect vast amounts of often useless things.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are cheery!
ReplyDeleteIt is a good one, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't like birds? And that pink background certainly draws your attention and eye to the mural!
ReplyDeleteA very long mural. Almost episodic.
ReplyDeleteI can't help but think how Sue (Elephant's Child) would have enjoyed this mural, with several of the birds she loved. Nice one, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteI think of Sue often, Jenny. I certainly miss her online, and as such a sensible and practical person in real life.
