Cirrus clouds (made of ice crystals) against the blue and some beautiful early autumn days - even as the days get noticeably shorter. Enjoying the sunshine was this Eastern Bearded Dragon - The Jewel Bug that inadvertently climbed aboard was living dangerously and likely to become a takeaway snack. Fortunately the lizard was preoccupied with assessing what sort of threat, if any, my camera and I posed. Still not much in flower - the bees will settle for a sip of Hebe nectar - - while, among the native plants, Grevillea Barklyana is a generous, long flowering source of the sweet stuff. -Other long-time bloomers include this Melaleuca sparsa - Abelia and the first of the Grevilleas to show their colours for autumn - this one is 'Bonnie Prince Charlie' - a rosmarinifolia x alpina hybrid.
Little as yet to support the honeyeaters, but it won't be too much longer. The Yellow-tails have found something they like though and are always a welcome sight as they do a late afternoon flyover.
