  1. What an incredible find, Sami. Those birds are beautiful. The idea of making those electrical cabinets beautiful is a great idea. You live in such a beautiful area where murals are everywhere. And WA is doing its part to make the spaces even more beautiful.

    So glad you were able to spend time with your family again. And I'm glad you made it through the time without being exposed to that virus, since you had to work every day.

    1. Thanks Elizabeth, apparently there are quite a few of these boxes around and I heard of one in the suburb next to mine, so will pop around to that park in the next couple of days.

  5. Great that you were able to find new outdoor art while still constrained about where you can go. We can go on outdoor walks, but haven't been anywhere likely to find a mural. So my blogging is mostly food and books.

    be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com

  14. Oh that is such a pretty one Sami, love the native birds 💜 How wonderful to be able to see your grandchildren, I bet they had changed a bit, they do at that age and 10 weeks is quite a long time xox

  15. Oh, that´s ALL beautifil!
    The fact you could see your wee ones again, and the murals.
    I hope to see mine soon, too, it´s exhausting when they let the energy off via the phone, LOL!
    I don´t know how Ingo did it, but each time I open the program to watch a DVD on my PC I hear Australian birds.
    And now I see them here. Well, I miss a Magpie, though ;-)

  24. Beautiful painted birds! So nice that you got to see your grandkids. Does that mean there's light at the end of this tunnel? I'm getting tired of the dark!

    1. Thanks Linda, yes luckily Australia didn't do too bad, we are under 100 deaths, and in Western Australia we have had no cases for about 2 weeks. A few restrictions have been lifted, and others will gradually lift within the next month.

  25. We're still leery here about contacts even among family members who have been living at a distance. Yes, restaurants are reopening but it remains to be seen how many people will feel comfortable returning.

    1. Thanks Mark. We have been lucky here as in our state (Western Australia) only about 500 people got the virus, and at the moment there is only one infected person in hospital, so people are feeling quite relaxed about it. I just hope it doesn't come back later once the borders with the other states reopen.
