Today was spent doing things with Barry… We drove around and did some shopping and generally just hanging out. While setting up the BBQ area, some Rainbow Loriketts dropped by for some water. I grabbed my camera and quickly took a few frames. Images below…

Today has been about catching up with Barry and of course “cameras” was a topical subject! First we had breakfast at a lovely little place called “volumes”.
