"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks". - John Muir.
I totally agree. Please enjoy the many special special moments I experienced over of the past few weeks.

Masses of Corellas frequent the golf course. On occasion they will take to the air en masse, very noisily. Their white feathers against a blue sky is a sight to behold. As yet, I haven't managed to capture the spectacle. Below is my effort last week before they settled in the tree.
After lunch yesterday, their numbers made a white line along the edge of the golf pond. I felt sure that they would take flight. I held my camera in readiness for about 10 minutes but all they did was spread out and continued to graze.
Sunrise light.
A happy bee!
This sunset with Nora dancing in the foreground fills me with joy and was snapped by her Mum. Kim sent it to the local news station. The following evening it concluded the news.
An unusually thick fog blanketed the golf course recently.
Quite the opposite scene the following morning.
Early morning reflections on the Brisbane River at Sherwood, as we set off walking yesterday.
The reflections were enhanced by birdsong.
An information board nearby, stated that this Eucalyptus was 200 years old!
This trio must each be at least 100.
Walking through one of Brisbane's oldest suburbs, we found that many of the streets were lined with Camphor laurel and Moreton Bay Figs, filling the pathway.
A return visit is definitely on the cards in October, to see this amazing Jacaranda covered in its purple blossoms. Jacarandas shed their leaves in late winter before flowering in late October.
Sunday afternoon saw me at a concert - 'Brisbane Sings'. Community choirs sang individually and also massed for three sensational items. It was a joyous and uplifting event.
So grateful for the beauty of nature and to have the time to stop and appreciate it in her many forms.
I would love to read your comment.
Nature is such a gift that we get to appreciate every day. Love seeing the Australian animals and plants you feature!
ReplyDeleteI missed Nora’s photo on the news. It must be one of the few I have ever missed. Rats. Such joy in that shot!
Gorgeous captures, Helen. The bundle of joy 😊 is cute.
