A Year in the Garden: Wild Bird Wednesday - A Soap Opera
http://alovesomething.blogspot.com/2013/11/wild-bird-wednesday-soap-opera.html
A Year in the Garden. Wednesday, November 27, 2013. Wild Bird Wednesday - A Soap Opera. It was a bit like "Neighbours" in our garden this week. Last year we had a pair of galahs nesting in a big old gum tree in the garden and I was lucky enough to catch a shot of one of the parents feeding a rather large baby. This is all very intriguing - the battle of the nests? Or maybe the old tree has multiple nesting spots with one shared entrance - like an apartment block for birds. November 27, 2013 at 10:19 AM.

A Year in the Garden: More of the Eastern Spinebill
http://alovesomething.blogspot.com/2013/11/more-of-eastern-spinebill.html
A Year in the Garden. Friday, November 15, 2013. More of the Eastern Spinebill. Either these little birds are getting more accustomed to my presence or I am getting better with my camera, but I am really pleased with these latest shots. November 15, 2013 at 12:51 PM.

A Year in the Garden: February 2013
http://alovesomething.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
A Year in the Garden. Friday, February 15, 2013. Its been a while since I posted on this blog, but thanks to the long hot summer, not a lot positive has happened in the garden. We haven't had any rain since November except for one fall in January. Tonight we have had an electrical storm with a little rain, but so far barely enough to register on any rain gauge. We have had to water reluctantly because water is so expensive, but I cannot just let my precious garden disintegrate before my eyes. I must try ...

A Year in the Garden: April 2013
http://alovesomething.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
A Year in the Garden. Saturday, April 20, 2013. So long since I posted on my garden blog. Have not had much enthusiasm over the last few weeks. No rain, plants suffering, garden looking tired and miserable. Autumn, usually lovely up here, has just not happened. Not cold enough for the usual display of autumn leaves and those few that have turned fall very quickly. Autumn this year is a carpet of fallen leaves. The next shots are of the De Munut hotel in Ubud. Just a small place but very picturesque.

A Year in the Garden: September 2013
http://alovesomething.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
A Year in the Garden. Sunday, September 29, 2013. I have been enjoying my new camera so thought I would share this one with you. Normally I would link this with Weekend Flowers, but that doesn't appear to be happening this weekend, so instead I'll add afew more flower shots I took this week. This flowering crab apple makes a beautiful show at this time of the year. I love all the flowering apples, but this one is my favourite, I think. And this apple is just a stunner at this time of the year. This littl...

A Year in the Garden: Wild Bird Wednesday - We'll drink to that
http://alovesomething.blogspot.com/2013/12/wild-bird-wednesday-well-drink-to-that.html
A Year in the Garden. Wednesday, December 4, 2013. Wild Bird Wednesday - We'll drink to that. Each evening lately I have taken my chair and spent a pleasant hour watching the birds come down to drink at the birdbath and play in the nearby shrubs. I get quite snap-happy with my new camera. I had dreams of buying myself a better zoom lens until I looked at the price of them! Maybe when I win Cross Lotto! The little red-browed finches are frequent visitors. Yesterday we had a mother and baby Thornbill.

A Year in the Garden: August 2013
http://alovesomething.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
A Year in the Garden. Saturday, August 24, 2013. Still raining here - so much water. The lawn is under water and everywhere is mud. There is no way I can get into the garden to finish pruning the hydrangeas - they will just have to wait. On a cheerier note the daffodils are out, though the rain has not treated them kindly. Hopefully tomorrow will be finer and I will be able to get around and take some photos. Meanwhile a couple of my favourites for Weekend Flowers. This lovely magnolia is called "Vulcan".

A Year in the Garden: November 2012
http://alovesomething.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
A Year in the Garden. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Reading my blogs and looking at the photos, it would be easy to assume that our garden consists entirely of non-native species. This is actually not so. I have to admit that I prefer exotics in a garden setting - I find them more to my taste, but then I was born to and raised by an enthusiastic English gentleman gardener. Grevillea - not sure which. 65279;. This pretty thing dies back each year then shoots out in Spring. So sweet. And finally ...

A Year in the Garden: December 2013
http://alovesomething.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
A Year in the Garden. Wednesday, December 11, 2013. This time however I decided to keep the bird myself, even though the wing was broken. We put it in a large cage where, after a time, it thrived altthough it could not fly. It seemed happy enough. We decided to find it a companion and were able to purchase a hand reared lorikeet from a pet shop. Well, for the first few weeks they fought! They hated each other! They screeched at each other! Liz Needle - linking with Wild Bird Wednesday. Each evening latel...
