Freya at the National Gallery

Yesterday we all went into Canberra to see Freya's piece in the sculpture garden at the National Gallery.

Some of the other exhibits:

We took a bit of a stroll along the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, where the bacteria levels have fallen enough for the fountain to be turned on again :) and through the park to National Library, round Parliament House and generally the scenic route :)

After chasing the red rump parrots all over the farm, I found dozens of them in Canberra and much more habituated to people... no long lens to hand, but still got close enough for pics!  They seemed to be everywhere!!

Afterwards we joined some of the other artists at the Belgian Bar in Kingston for strawberry beers, very tasty :)   

Bird Life and Llamas

Finally managed to sneak up on some red rump parrots... but they managed to stay in the shade!

Next I tried to get closer to them in the boys' paddock.. no luck, but did see our resident plovers and a heron.

The boys, Carter and Totem, wondered what I was doing wandering all over the place, but basically, since I didnt have a food bucket with me, they were content just to let me keep on with that!!  LOL!!

Kiki decided to sit it out on the back step, she tried following me around, but while stalking the red rumps I walked forward with the camera still in front of my face and stepped on her.... not a happy dog!!  Much yelping, birds fly off, nobody wins!!
