Autumnal splendour

This is what I came across going to the supermarket - no exceptional route and no exceptional plants but all so stunning.                                               

 The Rosellas in Omar's front yard - the bees are loving the flowers.

Perhaps best of all was the bird call that I heard. It made me stop and look upwards to see where it was coming from and there on the top of the trees was a Black Cockatoo. Sadly the photo is not great but it sang to me and I took a short video ( Which for some reason Blogspot refuses to upload ) as I was so excited to see one here. They are not often sighted in the city - in fact hardly ever. Remembering my sister and father today. Both loved nature and took great comfort from it.
