Happy New Year 2015

 It's a VERY hot day here in Ballarat Australia.  My poor garden is being blown about with hot hot winds.  I've been waiting patiently for my Christmas Lillies to bloom, and when I went outside before, one had opened and the pot had blown over. I brought it inside to the Laundry.  I've waited too long to see it damaged by weather.  This picture is a special Snowflake Agapanthus that is just opening too, but it's safely in the ground.
 My birds were hot too.  I gave them some fresh bath water and sprayed the cages to cool them down.  This little lady was perching over her 5 eggs . . . she must have worried about them cooking underneath her.
 This is one of the new babies this season.  Some nice soft colourings and a quiet nature . . . must be a girl!
 This white one was a baby last year, and has already had 2 sets of babies this season.  Unfortunately no white ones like her yet.
 A new baby this season with a distinctive black eyebrow on one side only.
 California Poppies valiantly flowering in the heat
 . . . and my beautiful blue Cornflowers - a lovely display this summer outside my back door.

I'm looking forward to this year being a "good one!"
