Connecting moments in my peninsula world, my Australia and beyond...Whatever speaks to my thalassophile soul in these tidal days...
The last earthquake in the Swan Hill region happened in 2003. It was a 3.1 magnitude. In 2001, there was a 4.2 magnitude earthquake there. https://t.co/e8EbyXnwec

NOTE: Another earthquake was recorded earlier this week...Tuesday 25th August. It was a 2.7 magnitude. Many heard rather than felt this one. It was too small to cause damage. More information HERE
Australia is known for dangerous crocodiles, snakes and spiders...But some claim there is a more dangerous critter... a black and orange jack jumper, an ant...In Tasmania, 1 person dies from the sting every 4 years...But the echidna enjoys a munch on them https://t.co/iyRigLAdDL pic.twitter.com/P0K1pmdO2L

In my web wanderings, stumbled across some weird Australian plants... 6 of them...What a lineup...The one below is related to the orchid without the elegance...

Good news is beckoning just ahead...We Melburnians are nearly there... The break of sunshine today certainly lifted the spirits...We're ready to face more rainy, grey weather outside this week, but inside, our weather is warming...

I couldn't agree more about this tough lockdown...I fear going outside...to the point I need to practise calming strategies before I go out...Melbourne's sun this morning helped... How healthcare workers maintain the wearing of masks comfortably while working I don't know...

Basically the same with me...with one small difference...I am close to not socialising at all...since March...I think being a quiet person anyway is my strength...

Me too, no matter what happens as long as I can be in nature I have enough 🍃Saw two magpies riding the wind together in my backyard today 😍

Wonderful to open Melbourne weekend with some real sun... My one-hour walk possibility now seemed appealing...I chose Dromana's Hillcrest Community Reserve wetlands...within my allowed 5km radius...It's been awhile...Reflections seemed so symbolic of days then + days now... pic.twitter.com/OkHV9IcNYn

The joy of seeing sunlight and shadow over a walkway by Hillcrest Community Reserve wetlands really touched me...The wetlands precinct may only be small, but small is better than nothing at all... pic.twitter.com/BXRntrxrad

So lovely being able to stand on rocks and view shadows and reflections at play in the Hillcrest Community Reserve wetlands this morning... pic.twitter.com/Lmpr7TzO30

I wasn't the only one enjoying some time outdoors this morning at Hillcrest Community Reserve wetlands...This little one was clearly loving the outside world...but his owner was close by, just wandering, and keeping an eye on him... pic.twitter.com/91ec17ploO

Always love seeing this feathered and fringed reflection at Hillcrest Community Reserve wetlands... pic.twitter.com/bccy43uf5C

Across the road from the wetlands is a tiny community of shops...all with interesting styles...On the roof of one is this... pic.twitter.com/m2VDty4MZJ

On the drive home, I couldn't resist stopping for a minute to capture the beautiful morning light shining through the leaves of a roadside plant... pic.twitter.com/NYWcMByqci

I must admit, I have heard of this happening with swans, but never have I seen it... So precious, so magical... Love how Mum's wings seem to gently enfold the little ones... https://t.co/UvpsPi5g9e
