The grass parrots

They are called grass parrots, common throughout South-East Australia. They sometimes come to our front yard to have a feed in the grass like grass seeds or something. I was so quick to get this pic as they are wild and I had to zoom in my camera to get a closer pic.

Colours of Autumn

Autumn is one of my favourite time of the year. The time when the leaves change into bright red, purple and yellow colours. The scenery is just so awesome to look at and the weather is not too cold, not hot and humid either.
Winter officially started few days ago . The pictures were taken few days before winter . I got the chance to visit again my favorite spots every autumn season.I don't want that autumn just pass away without paying a visit to those places. Hence, the photo I used as my header was taken in one of my favourite spots. But was taken on the first day of winter last year.
To Rafter, this is also for you.. request granted! :)


Dinner

Our dinner, a serving of baked salmon fillet and vegetables salad (consist of, lettuce, cucumber, tomato and shredded carrots with a drizzle of oil)
Here's my simple and easy baked salmon recipe:
salmon fillets
salt to taste
pepper
lemon
olive oil to lightly drizzle
Procedure:
In an oven-proof dish, place the salmon fillets . Sprinkle with salt, pepper and squeeze the lemon over the top or slice the lemon and place it over the top. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and cover the baking dish with a foil. Wack it in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the fillets). Serve with vegetable salad, mashed potato or steam vegetables.
I normally don't put any herbs or something to add flavors for we just simply like it this way.

It's guava time!

We have 2 guava trees at our backyard and both are growing well that this time they have scores of fruit. Yes, we are flooded with ripe guavas. Some are big and some are teeny-weeny small. With the rains we had in the past days , it helped a lot of the fruits to ripen more quickly, crunchier and more juicy. Since we can't eat all of them, I am giving them to some friends in school and neighborhood. Give and eat more before the fruit flies and worms attack them shortly. This is the only way I could think of to get rid of them without wasting. I could not make them into something like guava jelly for I don't have much time to do it. Our dogs are eating them too and they take in-charge of the guavas within their reach which I am glad for I am sure many of them will be destined to the ground shortly. They like it as much as we do that every time we pick for our consumption and for friends they definitely beg to have some.I didn't plant it. It was just part of the package when we bought the house. I was very glad the first time I saw it. They were not that big yet at that time but even so it gave us so many fruits that hubby was able to make few bottles of guava jelly during our first year here .
