The Colours of Ken Done

I saw the most beautiful thing last night.

Walking back to work a handful of galahs flew overhead and the red of the sunset reflected off their pink breasts turning them a vivid, resonating magenta.

It was breathtaking - and as glaring as a Ken Done creation.

When I think of grey I think of suits and offices and dull, Wintery skies - amazing how nature can find a way to create the kind of contrast that makes grey 'sing'.

When I get home the Galahs will be stripping my almond trees and clicking and cackling all night - but I'll appreciate them a little more after seeing what I saw last night.
