I’m joining Becky in her February Square Photo Challenge over at The Life of B. The rules of the challenge are simple: most photos must be square and fit the theme word Odd, referencing one of these definitions: different to what is usual or expected, or strange; a number of items, with one left over as a remainder when divided by two; happening or occurring infrequently and irregularly, or occasionally; separated from a usual pair or set and therefore out of place or mismatched. Look for #OddSquare.
While we didn’t travel as much as usual in 2021, we were fortunate to enjoy several holidays in our home state of Queensland and one short trip over the border in New South Wales. Join me this month in a retrospective look at the very odd year of 2021.
Goomburra Valley, February 2021
One cheeky kookaburra decided his new favourite spot was the end of our caravan awning. He came every morning, perhaps in search of a tasty morsel or two at the camp breakfast table. If that’s what he was thinking, he would have been disappointed!
Beautiful photos

In my experience Kookaburras can be extremely noisy early in the morning! I hope this chappy was better behaved.

He and his friends serenaded us every morning. Luckily we’re early risers.

They are lovely, cheeky birds. The kookaburras and the magpies win my vote for sure.

Magpies are great, until they lose the plot in nesting season. Not my favourites then. 😬

Scary critters.
Mind you, we had some wagtails nesting in my lemon tree, and they took on the magpies, and also the ducks, the alpaca and us! They had 3 fledglings to show for their diligence. I hope they come back next year.

Everything and everybody got out of the way of those wagtails. They were fearless. Even my cat was scared to go near that tree, which was good.
