The Mayfly

Just before the family made our way to the Conservation Hut, millions of mayflies appeared from seemingly nowhere and began to surround us all. They covered my body, crawled under my shirt and all through my hair. 

I walked down to the trampoline with the kids. Mayflies filled the inside of the trampoline nets so we all crawled inside and became covered in the flies.

Mayflies are a symbol of transformation, transience and renewal. We have never seen Mayflies at our Blue Mountains house before.

My hair full of mayflies and, according to my mother, a very familiar looking King Parrot flying under my left elbow. 

Is that you, Sam?
