Feeling down? Go on a nature walk; you will feel 23% better. Be creative. Help someone else. (That's a good'n.) Talk to someone you can say anything to. Nothing stays the same forever, good or bad. You will get through it.

I had some very territorial magpies on my deck once, so I befriended a couple with some dried meal worms. 🐦🪱 This is what was said when I ran out of meal worms one day. 😅👩‍🎤

This incredible pigeon was hanging out with all the greyish rock pigeons near a beach. 🐦🏖️ It stood out from the rest. 🤩

I took this photo of a Superb Starling as it was hiding in a shrub. I stuck the lens in over the top and through.🐦📸🌿

The gentle story of the woods. 🌳🌲🍄 An open beak, a shimmering iris, and the ancient pattern of feathers melting into the forest's palette. 🐦👁️🎨 This Satin Bower bird sings goodnight from Australia. 🇦🇺🎶😴

Don't wait for a clear blue sky to start living; sometimes the most beautiful stories are written under the pressure of the storm. 🌩⛈️🌀🕯🚈✨

Australian Pelicans hanging out by the reef, waiting for the rock fisherman to leave them a morsel of fish. 🎣🐟🐦

It's late in the afternoon here in Australia. Time to wind down and get some dinner just like this White-faced Heron. 🌅 🐦🐟🍽😋
