Visit from bird(s) from Paradise

Bird(s) visiting this particular 'Bird of Paradise' stalk is a regular affair. I've spotted such visits a couple of times. On the 2nd day of Lunar New Year, there're 2 visits; managed to capture only the first.

Updates (on the fifth day of CNY)

Yes, the bird(s) are sighted again and again and again...

MoOoooOo mOOMoOooo mOoo

"MoOoooOo mOOMoOooo mOoo MoOooomOooooOoo Mooooooo".

Greetings from the MoOoooOo, oh, I mean the cows, hmm, what I really mean is on behalf of the cows. It's the first day of Lunar New Year - the Year of Ox, and what better way to start this blog on this auspicious day!! (well, I started the other one on new year's day - 2009, btw.)

Welcome to my little garden.

My Warmest Greetings to U

Wishing you a Happy 'Niu' Year;

May you be as strong as a 'Bull';

Receive all the "Gu"ness from heaven luck;

"Cow" money non-stop and;

Have an "Ox"spicious year ahead!

Where is this little garden?

@ 306, that's where!

So, welcome again, visit often, and hope you'll enjoy your stay whenever you do!
