going on a lion hunt

This is one of the kid's favorite places to sit. They love to look out the window, while sometimes licking it too. This morning they were pointing and saying the names of their favorite animals. They saw giraffes, zebras, elephants and hippos.

I only managed to see a several birds. I love to hear the birds chirping when I wake up in the mornings. We have seen some pretty impressive birds, right in our own garden. Max and Maya have a blackbird who is almost always right outside their window. We like to sing this song to him. I have learned to recognize the song of the Tui. I think we have some Australian Magpie nesting on our roof.

It is so nice to have such big windows in our small place. On days when the weather is warm our home extends right out into the garden and more than doubles in space. We are looking forward to the end of the wet rainy winter.

  3. I loved the way the tui neck feathers would quiver, like little dimes in the sun. I also loved the Pukeko birds we would see out by Lion Rock.

  5. Yes, we do almost have a jungle in our backyard. One of these days, when it stops raining I will take the kids back there for photos with some of the beautiful flowers that have come out in the past few weeks.
