Wired

When I was at the Belair National Park a couple of weeks ago I relished being immersed in nature. It makes for a nice change when you live quite close to the city. But it doesn't matter where you go or sometimes how far you leave behind urban development, there will always be traces of the human touch. Like this barbed wire fence. I can appreciate its use (to protect native wildlife and plants) but it was still a bit of an eye-opener.

Bird on a Wire

No, I'm not making a 90's movie reference and nor am I referring to one of Leonard Cohen's most famous songs. But I am talking about a few birds that I saw perched on a wire when I went for a walk today. They always look so at ease and graceful sitting there on the thinnest of cables. I admire their comfort and grace and the excellent view they most have up there.
