Spring and school holidays make for a wonderful combination for colour and activity. A new visitor to our backyard was yesterday's Crested Hawk, also known as the Pacific Baza (caught on camera by one of the children). Our two week school/homeschool holiday is over half way through - a fact I will try to ignore for now, enjoying each life-filled day as it comes.

Dear Karen
Lovely and posetive holiday photos!

I like the first one too Jette - it’s a beautiful Australian native flower - and it requires not attention to grow well.
Incredible pictures, as always!!
You always make me want to move to Australia (well, except for the expensive sewing stuffs ;-)
Beautiful!
Beautiful Pictures and I love that black fabric with flowers!
your photography just captures each moment so perfectly. I really love the posed cricket shoot!
A lovely series of interesting photos. Never seen ant thin like your hawk before. He is a beauty! Loved the flower and the seedlings, your little girl with that neat Lego helicopter, all just great shots! Happy Spring to you :)
Sorry, auto correct went wacky on 'ant thin'. Should have been 'anything' :)
as alway, very nice images!:)
flotte bilder !
It must be wonderful to have the children home for the holidays to just enjoy those fun filled days.
Your bird photos are fabulous - and so different from what we see in NZ.
What happy spring-filled photos. I'm happy to visit you as my own garden is covered with snow and the birds have flown to warmer climes!
Gorgeous pictures Karen!!
Such a lovely spring holiday pictures! Especially the birds,the magpie is common here but we don't have Crested Hawks, you make excellent photos!
Enjoy these Spring holiday days Karen! Love the variety of holiday pictures and keep being amazed at the wonderful birds you have visiting in the garden.

You take beautiful photos, Karen.
Those are quite the birds, just lovely.
Enjoy your spring weather.
Here in Colorado, we had snow for the first time this morning on the mountain behind our home. That is always so beautiful with the colors on the trees.
Sweet blessings to you, Debbie
Wonderful snapshots! That bird is fierce and majestic! You get the best avian visitors. Enjoy every minute of your break xx
Love your shots and that first flower is such an amazing color. Can't believe how much miss E has grown! Think of you daily!
How beautiful is spring, we in Holland preparing for winter. We enjoy the fall. Kind regards, Anne-Marie
Thanks for sharing the hawk photos, Karen -- looks so exotic compared to our North American hawks. And lovely to see a yellow lemon -- I just brought my little tree in off the patio and it has a dozen green ones, but it will be January before I see any hints of yellow. Enjoy the spring holiday time!
It's so refreshing to come here...spring again, beautiful birds...fun activities.
As always, fun and colorful pics - thanks for sharing! :-)

I love these photographs, Karen, and it looks like you are having a beautiful spring!
Yay for holidays!! Ours have just started! Love, love, love the fabric of your wearable sewing. Do tell, what are you fashioning??
Beautiful pictures! I hope to see more of that wearable sewing project in the future too!
Great shots of the Pacific Baza, much better than mine last week. Great post.
Great series of shots!
A beautiful collection of shots! I like the light rays and colors in your sky photo.
Lots of wonderful memories of fun times are captured in your photos. Keep enjoying the holidays.
That crested hawk looks like he has some attitude. Fantastic weather down this way for the holidays, looks like you're getting the same.
Beautiful images! Your family is lovely, I hope they had a great holiday. You sky shots are pretty and I love the Crested Hawk, awesome looking bird.. Have a great weekend and happy skywatching!
What a lovely series of shots.
I love the hawk photos and what a cute magpie. My favorite is the sky shot.

Great set of shots - lets hope the real sky-crane (which we call Elvis) does not get too much work this summer.

Funny that the crested hawk looks like a cockatoo. A really disguise in the australian bird landscape. Also a great skywatch here. I like it.
Oh My Goodness, I love Raptors and had never even heard of a Crested Hawk before, NICE!!!
Looks as if you had some fine weather for the school holidays. Melbourne weather was kind at times, but liked to keep us on our toes with some big winds, grey skies and icy hail in between. Grand photos.
Beautifully composed sunrise/sunset.
Dear Karen, again lovely captures of your Family and so pretty ones of the nature around.
Greetings by Heidrun
All very nice shots! Love the flowers and sky shot.
Great series of captures. All taken so well.
A great series of photos ...love the birds and the sky one is spectacular...
