I've seen two a number of times and a faint third once when we lived high in a condo over the water (I'm sure the perspective helped). I didn't know you could see a rainbow if you were "in it" if you know what I mean. I thought some distance from the source would be required. Huh! Learn something new every day - love it!

love thepics, girls.. I haven't been too "chatty" lately, my FIL finally did pass this month. right now, just wishing everyone who celebrate a Blessed Easter.
I'm not doing well at all with the ms, it seems to be progressing at a rapid rate. But could slow down (I hope) or even reverse itself!
Mac: when I see the pics, oh my!makes me soo homesick! haven't been to the island for at least 10 yrs now!!It IS a great place to recoup, for sure..hope your little "problem is solved.. I myself, have to use miralax, and perdiam. More hgher doses than normal, cause I take narcotics daily, too..
Happy Easter Girls!

Hi ya 3jays! happy Easter to you too. So so sorry to hear that your FIL passed, my condolences to you, Mur and his family.......he was such a grad old man and I was very privelaged to meet him when I was there. I'm so hoping that your MS slows down or that it can be reversed.......miracle do happen. Take care you, I love it when you pop in.
Lisa that sure is a strange bird........not sure what it is but it is definitely a bird of prey with that beak! Beautiful none the less. Great idea about the zoo, shame everyone else had it too.......lol.
Just waiting for the killings to arrive and then we are going out for lunch so it's time I got I to my glad rags! Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
Love n hugs. Chrissy

FYI - I looked up the secretary bird in Wikipedia. They grow to 4 feet tall and feast on small animals from mice to hares. They're native to Africa and are welcomed because they eat snakes. There was a photo of one flying; looked like a small airplane.

One more look...

I love the zoo pics Lisa, and that is one strange looking bird! Barbe's probably right about the beak, but it looks to me like it could rip open anything it wants to!
Hope you had a nice lunch out, Chrissy. It's always nice to be taken out!
We'll do most of our Easter cooking tomorrow, along with house cleaning. I bought my first "Honey Baked Ham" and it just needs to be heated, and DIL's mother is bringing prime rib, which I think will be eaten mainly by her and my DH and son. My eating habits are strange in that I don't eat rare meat--DH says my steak is "crisp" and I suppose it is. Love to order a filet in restaurants but always ask that it be butterflied to get it well done. Can't eat red or even pink.
Always so good to see you, 3jays, and I'm sorry about Mur's father. Losing our parents is surely one of the hardest losses we must face. Hope the doctors can find something for you that will slow down the MS. And I agree with Chrissy. Miracles can and do happen.

Lol Barbe, I just looked back at what I wrote.......that will teach me to proof read before I hit submit! Yes, I did mean kidlings (not killings) although there were times in their lives that I could have gladly done just that........lol. Lunch was delicious and I'm sure that very few of us will be wanting any dinner. Those kidlings have just left for their two hour drive back to the city and DH had decided to go back to his shop so all is quiet here.....aaaahh! Nice cup of tea and a relax is definitely in order.
Take care all!
Love n hugs. Chrissy

wren, how did you figure out that was a secretary bird!!! I'm so impressed! And yes, I googled it and do see it eats small animals. Way to go!!! Here I was comparing it's beak to the cockatoos and wild birds in the Caribbean....
Lisa, I LOVE the second pic best!!!

Barbe, Don't be impressed. Someone said it was. I wouldn't have had a clue. Very odd looking bird. I think the beak resembles an eagle's.

Years ago the Wild Animal had a birds of prey show and featured the secretary bird doing all sorts of commands..very impressive. Since then, whenever I visit the San Diego Zoo and the elephant exhibit, I stop by and see the two secretary birds.

I haven't been to the Zoo for years but I will be in the City for three days due to appointment on the first and third days (couldn't organise it closer....grrr) so I have a whole day to fill.........I think I may just visit the animals and say hello.........lol. the walking will do me good and as I will be alone, I can stroll at my pace. Sounds good to me!!!!
Hope you are all enjoying the holiday!
Love n hugs. Chrissy

OMG! Those Tulips look look Carnations! They are so frilly........stunning! I wonder where in Queensland they were bred as the weather there is more hot and humid and I wouldn't have guessed that you could grow them there.

I saw them in Holland.

That Tulip looks like it's seen the Queensland tourism motto, 'Queensland, beautiful one day, perfect the next.' I must say I have never seen any flowers here (Queensland) quite as beautiful as that one.
