One of the most colourful things about the footy was the ref's six or seven yellow cards, and one red. So here's a picture or two - from the rainy-day bin - to match the colours of the day.
What could be more fitting than a Silvereye (Zosterops lateralis). Very yellow, and with a beady eye to boot?
Or an Olive-backed Oriole (Oriolus Sagittatus)? Some yellow, and with a red eye?
Last, two Noisy Pittas (Pitta versicolor), bits of buffy-yellow, red, green and black, lighting up their arena, but out of focus and unsatisfying. Bit like today's match.
Oh dear, I had no idea you were a Football Tragic!
ReplyDeleteI have a colleague in Canada who has that vice and is a Cycling Tragic as well.

Nice photos. Dig up a few more from your 'rainy-day bin', please.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more rainy days.
ReplyDeleteI like the abstract shot Tony, great colours!
ReplyDeleteHi all;
ReplyDeleteExcuse late reply. Major laptop meltdown. All fixed (cross fingers), but bit of software rebuild to do.
Denis: I claim pro interest as an ex player and sports journo.
Mick & Mosura: It's just a little bin. The big bin gets a lot more use.
Duncan: Yes, but it's more Picasa than Picasso, don't you think?
