dancing fairy wren...

On my recent birthday - 1st October, I indulged in a walk round Coolart at Somers...
The Spring morning was warm, filtered with gentle winds... perfect for some dreaming...
But I was not alone...
A little fairy wren danced along the track just in front of me...
seeming to watch me closely...
