Today's" Little Birds" watercolour...sweet Budgerigars, Budgies, Common Parakeet, Shell Parakeet. It still fascinates me that these live in the wild here in Australia. Love their bright colours💙💚💛

...love to travel, but equally love to be back home...
We usually bring back a souvenir to " colour" our home, remind us of happy holidays. In this instance these lovely Thai Royal Porcelain pieces, and Thai Silk runner. Just love them 💖

Something so delicate about these blooms...
It would fit well in my master bedroom, but may have to sneak it past hubbie; I suspect he will find it too feminine for his tastes🤣
