And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” Genesis 1:20
First part of the chair project done, it was time to do something fun. We have a list of things we wish to do and one by one scratching them off. Bird watching is something we like to do. So off to the Whiteman Park Bird hide and Eric Singleton Bird Sanctuary we went.

Whiteman Park is a beautiful place and just the area alone would be an attraction for me, but it seems to hosts a lot of events and always seems to have an emphasis on children. Last weekend though, they held the Classic Car show.
The largest display of collectible vehicles can be seen at the Classic Car Show which caters for a wide range of motoring enthusiasts in Western Australia. Each year the show attracts around 1 000 cars and ... Read More

We set the alarm for 5 am.
Even though we aren't in a beach hideaway like on our honeymoon, I asked John for some good places near the house to go for sunrise. He suggested Whiteman Park. I love it there, so I was happy with the idea.
Even though we set the clock for 5, we might have been a tad late, but it was good from the start.
It was a lovely morning, there before it got too hot.

John remembered that our last visit to Perth, one of my favorite parts was the WA Birds of Prey show held inside Whiteman Park on weekends. However, for awhile now these shows weren't being held, but as luck would have it, for the month of April, precisely while I am here, Yvonne is able to have some weekends at Whiteman Park, so we were sure to go. If you haven't seen this yet in the Perth area, I would encourage ... Read More

I am not really into cars, but John likes classic cars and we thought we might see something fun to share with Paul from Severn Gas Pumps.
This is but a few of the things we saw.
At the museum we learned the story of Roll's its figurine, the flying lady.

Saturday, John and I were unsure what to do. Since he lives close to Whiteman Park, we decided to go there.
Magpies make me nervous, as I know they can be very aggressive. I knew it wasn't their aggressive time of year, but I was leery just the same. John also seemed respectful of the bird as well. I do love the sounds they make.
