It was so funny watching the interaction between Anthony and my ever-curious little peahen, Gutsy9. But Anthony was much more interested in his glorious flame tree….
And my mother’s pavlova!

I love this post… we have a similar flame tree… what a beautiful sight to see when in bloom… I love the interaction between Ant and Gutsy…
Ants reckons it’s a Queensland flame tree but not sure. I love the photo where the G9 and Anthony are looking at each other!
Love the dessert photo. His fingers are shiny – looks like he licked them. I don’t blame him! 🙂
You are so right!
Dear Gutsy9, such hard competition 😉
Yes!
I love the photo where Anthony and Gutsy9 look as though they are having a chat! 🙂
Me too!
Those pictures of Gutsy… staring at Anthony until he pecked at him and got his attention…. were adorable… Diane
It was hilarious to watch!
what a wonderful day
It was!
Julie, These are some wonderful pictures, thank you for sharing them. It was kinda neat how Gutsy just walked up and gave Ants a little peacock kiss. Have great day. Bill
It was a great moment!
I have never seen a flame tree….a fitting name for sure, so very vivid and beautiful. Those are good photos to be cherished, indeed. I’ll have a bite of that last photo with my cuppa. 🙂 xo
It has never flowered like this before – wonderful!
Gutsy-9 has such personality, love her!!! Who would have thought that a peahen’s character would come through so vibrantly in a picture. Your flame tree is magnificent and that Pavlova looks so very tasty. What a fantastic day. 😀
It was!
A terrific photo-story.
Thanks Tracy!
Love these photos. Anthony looks good! My eye caught the clothesline…I live in an apartment so I don’t have one, truth is most people in houses around here don’t have one either. I miss clotheslines, I much prefer to hang laundry out than put it in a dryer…ahh I’m remembering fresh, crisp sheets on my childhood bed…
I got my first ever dryer last year but hardly ever use it!
I love, love, LOVE all these things! The curiosity of Gutsy9, the gorgeous flame tree and that lovely dessert that I’ve never heard of before but which looks divine.
Pavlova is wonderful – thanks Trisha!
I like how birds animals etc. bring people into the moment such as the photo with Gutsy and Anthony.. dessert looks yummy.and I have never seen a flame tree nor do we have palms (is that correct? ( the one to the left of the flame tree?)
Yes it’s some sort of palm (oh dear, I don’t know what sort!) Anthony planted it when his family first came here – before I was born haha!
That is special when a tree grows in the yard that someone in the family planted.
He pretty much planted everything here way back then/when!
I go for the Pavlova too.
Do you know how to make it?
Yes.
I’m impressed!
Love the expressions on G9’s face trying to get Ant’s attention. That’s one beautiful piece of property you live on. Yummy looking dessert.
G9 is hilarious. Today she followed the lawnmowing people everywhere until they gave her a pat!
Great photos!!! I heard on the TV today that you are having extreme heat temperatures!
Yes – heatwave hits tomorrow – argh!
Love the photos of Ants and the peachick…what a great story that series tells. Ha!
