Looking for Signs

Looking for signs of spring

in the subtropics

where flowers and trees bloom all year

and very few deciduous trees 

mark the changes of the seasons ~

there are the bright and the obvious

the pink lilly pillies 
and the red bottle-brushes

and then there are the little critters

quietly at work

and the small and almost missed

and then there are the not so subtle

the very bossy juvenile Noisy Miner

in the yellow grevillea

and the loud and flamboyant Rainbow Lorikeet
