I have obviously spent too much time recently looking at Chinese ink art.
Following my return from China yesterday, it occurred to me that the currawong's blueberry ash stained droppings were art. See what you think - I think this is beautiful.

Of course it is possible that I am overly fond of my currawong friends. Admiring their droppings is probably some sort of evidence of over fondness, perhaps some sort of pathology?
Blueberry ash, which makes the blue stains, is an Australian native plant - we have one in our yard. They are lovely trees - Eleocarpus reticularis, producing pretty pink fringed flowers and blue berries amongst dark green classic leaves. The cuurawongs love the berries tossing them back with a flick of their heads.

Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteHmm maybe not art but at least interesting colours. I see the ashes are all flowering up so there will be plenty of new berries for you currawongs soon
My blueberry ash has easily its heaviest flowering ever - very pretty.
DeleteGlad you're back and providing dropping based entertainment and yes they do look pretty...
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to be home. I think I must be a little wierd.
DeleteIt's lovely to see the art in the ordinary! I wish the birds around here were as artistic, they just like to leave droppings all over my car and scatter any mulch I put down. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteOh I like this Bek - art in the ordinary. You are making me feel less odd!
