A Picture is Worth 1000 Words

As I don't have access to a picture (at SWRocks), I will try the words.
Every afternoon about an hour before darkness, first one comes, then hudreds of rainbow lorrikeets into the Norfolk Island Pines that tower over our balcony. What a cacophany!! They're all excitedly telling each other of their day's news and happenings. Then as amazingly as they came, they all dart into the nearby palm trees to sleep for the night.
I can feel the silence, then I gradually become aware again of the never ending dumping of waves on the shore of the restless sea.

yep, that makes me want to be there, sitting on the balcony, soaking all that up. teeny bit of envy going on over here...as I slog away at the keyboard, in-doors, artifical light, buzzing machine, essay looming, thoughts swirling but seemingly incapable of landing on paper - arrgh. Wish I was Jeanie, from I Dream of...
