TheBanyanTree: Spring has hit Sydney

[peter macinnis]

The weather has been saying it for months, the flowers have been out for 
six weeks. Yesterday, up at the nursery, crows were waddling around, 
picking up sticks and flying up into trees.

I was dropping smaller dead trees nearby, so I gathered up some suitable 
twigs from the upper ends of the trees and laid them down on grass near 
the play area of the Montessori pre-school, just across the road, so the 
children can see a sign of spring.

This morning, the rainbow lorikeets were in the Grevillea next to our 
balcony. When the sun comes around the corner, I will start snapping. 
Meanwhile, here's a shot from last year.

Today, I am listening to the ms of the latest monster, 400,000 words of 
science backgrounders, distilled into mp3 files. I will be out on the 
balcony, listening to that, to music from my Working playlist, and to 
the lorikeets.
