Images from guest photographer Raelene Neilson.

A backyard bird bath is a win-win — the birds will visit and the bird-fan will welcome each visitor. The only problem is how much time can a bird-watcher sit and watch before other things call? The simple things in life can be the best indeed.

Here is a selection of images taken by Raelene at her ground level bird-bath at Geham, north of Toowoomba.
