Superb fairywren...




I'm sure I'm not alone in finding the older suburbs of a city way more interesting than the new. Walking around North Perth yesterday I found all sorts of photogenic treats one of which was the mural above, a cool collaboration of colour by Perth artists Jerome Davenport and Luke O'Donohoe on Angove St. I think Mr Davenport had a wee bit more time to capture his Superb fairywren than I did mine below.. my little blue beauty came in to land for a whole 5 seconds before ziiiiiiping off again, pure luck that I managed to swing the camera up and even get it in the frame :) Hope you had a fab weekend, happy Monday, take care and stay safe...

    Agree about suburbs. We live in an old one. It has some character and normal town streets. Our outer suburbs are a wasteland of housing subdivisions, bad architecture, strip centers and chain restaurants.

    Gosh Grace ... .what a stroke of luck that you captured a photograph of a real blue wren to match the artwork. Lottery ticket this week me thinks.

    I love the bird and the mural. I wish we had murals like that on the buildings in our apartment complex, though it probably wouldn't go with the Spanish-style architecture....

    Hi Grace! Re your comment on Ocala about me writing a murder mystery. Probably not up to that although some people have said reading my poetry book was murder! :)

    This is such a cute bird. The jazzy, abstract section is a wonderful foil for your little bird. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

    The Blue Fairy Wren - absolutely my favourite little bird... I've actually seen it flittering around beneath the Khari trees too.
