Look what's outside my window

Just when I was wondering what to write about, look what turned up outside my window. It is a summer’s day here and 36°C (96°F) so it’s pretty hot outside. We’ve just taken the rubbish down to the gate on the road ready for collection tomorrow and there are small groups of kangaroos under the trees and on the green grass that we keep watered for our concerts.
I hope you’re not tired of seeing photos of our roos but I still get a thrill to see them come in so close to the house. She actually put her paws on the bricks but then turned back to the water. She also dabbled her paws in the water so I guess she is quite hot. There are a lot of bees around the bird bath but the roo drank from the container at the base.

@JudyEv Have they not gotten used to humans yet and have lost their fear of us? I'm starting to see that here with our deer. They are getting more and more acclimated to people, and you see them all the time on the sides of roads, in people's yards, and even in our city parks. They are growing less and less afraid of us with each passing year it seems.

@moffittjc In some areas the roos have lost their fear of humans - on some golf courses, caravan parks and other parks. But the ones on our property are taking a long time to get used to us. They are much better now and will sit and watch us drive past but they hop away if we are on foot.

i liked the picture in your other post where the smaller one (joey) was standing up to drink while the mother was watching. i remember that bush you were protecting, but can't remember the name and why.

She just dunked them in and out again. Maybe it was too cold for her liking.
