humans stimulated by busyness

retreating brains can't grasp what requires them to go forwards

group opinions are offset against the individual




in natures quiet or a rainbow

a wooded stream

rose cockatoos fluttering to a white gum in the carpark

sitting out the rain




just standing there and looking









note:   galah (rose cockatoo).


carpark is what americans call a parking lot.


it was late afternoon and surprisingly dark because of the rain but i stood under the tree a while looking at them with the irritation of the occasional car going past and me not being quite out of the way.


i think there was quite a transition in light between when i got out of the car and seeing the flock of galahs swoop and then fly into the tree and i first went over to look and later when it got darker.
