To the right of yesterday's Make Poverty History was the sunlight on the city.
Hugh numbers of people live in poverty. The naive always thought they would live to see structural change to bring about more justice.
A sign was spotted, a kind of triptych: Make poverty history, possible traffic delays and the third of which draws attention to a fundraiser walk on this/next Sunday, May 4th, at Nobbys.

Lorikeets are fiesty birds and are found among the birds in our suburbs. This is believed to be a Rainbow Lorikeet after consulting the Reader's Digest Photographic Field Guide Birds of Australia. At 25-30 cm long it is a medium - large bird and is a nectar eater hence its liking for the bizarre colourful growths on the Banksia tree. Two birds were busy just outside our window.
Grow local varieties of trees in our gardens to provide food for our native birdlife.
