burnishing all in its path.

as the birds come in to roost. Night is falling.

About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.
Love this photo essay, Irene.

Thank you Joana. I hope you have sunshine also. My sister in law lives in Germany and she finds winter very grey and looks forward to the summer.

I wonder. If in the United States of America birds fly south for the winter, do they fly north in Australia and New Zealand?

Yes some do whilst other still fly south from the equator.It depends if they are trying to escape the cold winter or the hot summer.

Thanks Kay. The lorikeets were coming in to roost for the night and I was desperately trying to capture them. I was unsuccessful but I quite liked the tree also.
