Good Friday

Yesterday everything was closed here, so we had a pretty quiet day. We did some stuff around the house and then went for a walk. We stopped for lunch before ending up at the Botanical Gardens, where we hung out for awhile. We plopped on the grass and this little bird came over to see if we had anything for him...



I think his wing was broken by the looks of it. Poor little bird. Anyone know what the normal life expectancy is for a bird like this?

We also saw some baby birds and a Mama bird feeding them. The Mommy bird would dive under the water and bring food up and give it to each baby bird. The funny thing is that the Mom would give each bird their piece of food in order and get cross with the babies if they tried to take it when it wasn't their turn! Amazing how even bird Mothers teach their offspring to share! Here's one of the babies...not too little...getting a bit bigger but still cute! They made a little squealy noise when they were looking for their Mama. The cutest thing...they could walk on the lily pads!:)



It was tough to get a good picture, but can you see the water dragon in the water, sticking his head out? He just chilled on the log for the longest time...



Last night we watched a couple of movies. Is it just me or does the movie scene suck right now?? We actually went to see a movie but there was nothing good playing, so we just rented some. Even the rental options were few and far between. We ended up with "John Tucker Must Die" and "Friends With Money". Neither were great but John Tucker was somewhat entertaining. Today we're off to a place called Bribie Island. Looks like a nice day so far, looking forward to heading out. Have a good one everybody!
