Always looking out for the quiet warm company of this garden buddy, often sunning itself on a day of clear skies, on our flowerbed.

Hello Refugees
Refuge for refugees
I attended a Christian/Catholic group discussion a few Thursday nights ago about empathy toward refugees and creating room for welcoming those in need. It included listening to a song by John Legend & Sara Bareilles. It was insightful.
Suburban Animals & Insects
I have always had a love for insects, amphibians, reptiles and other animals ever since I was young. I now like to take photos of them as I come across them spontaneously in the suburbs.
Flowers
I love to come across flowers on my walks. I will endeavour to post a few flowers over time here…
Suburban plants on my waltzes
As you well know there are some exquisite plants to be viewed when walking through the suburban streets. However, here is a reminder of nature’s beauty when we aren’t able to go out and view it, due to our timetable or the weather. Here are a few images of nature to contemplate on:
Seedlings to plant, then to water
Today I was inspired by an article I read in ABC News online about planting seedlings for mental health (albeit in Tasmania). So I dug up some seedling gum trees that were growing rampant in my driveway and potted them in individual pots. These may later be distributed to those I know of who have space in their garden and desire a shady gum tree. They’re probably Blue gum as there is a large parent Blue Gum tree nearby. Today just might inspire me to be a more environmentally aware person in general. PS. I realised not all trees are good to plant as some really tall Blue gums are termed in the country ‘widowers’ and have a history of being cut down as they tend to fall on people and injure them. These gums I was growing are such a type!
