Your Photo of the Week

How the weeks get by me... Week 23
Another from Costa Rica, a pair of wild macaws (one red one green) on a tree stump. The people at this farm feed the macaws and provide nesting material for them. They also have planted and let grow the trees they like to nest in (they are very dense hardwood trees and in the past they have cut down great swaths of them which, along with the illegal trade in these birds, has caused them to be highly endangered)

What a fantastic photograph! The colors, the texture, the birds, the perch and the background are all fantastic!

Thank you so very much, Kathryn! The opportunities on that trip were just incredible.

Been busy fitting a new Kitchen, managed to get out this evening to a sunflower field, took an old picture frame with me. A favourite below.

That's a great idea! Nicely done!
How is the kitchen reno coming along?

Nearly there Hali. Been putting it off for a long while, then the estate agent advised to sort it to get the best price, so greed got the better of me! Quite a dark room so gone white with loads of lights! A “during“ and “nearly finished“ below.

Wow, that's a great makeover! Light and airy now. I love the under the cabinet floor lighting.
