the wonder of ancient art...

The wonder of ancient art skills never ceases to amaze me...
And further, so much of the art survives over time... https://t.co/MnPozWaIZG

painted buttonquail...

Stunning markings and lovely tones on this gorgeous little bird...
I have never seen one of these birds before...
Hope the little one has Dromana marked in its travel diary...
Lots of mulch in my garden world... https://t.co/Rwl9YpMnef

my mantra...

PASSING THOUGHT: I refuse to live in fear of a virus, but I'll respect its dangers+adjust my life accordingly. I refuse to be rattled by the federal metronome's swinging 'hand'. I'll ensure I'm not putting my community in danger. DONE.
I'll find the beauty of living=IN PROGRESS.

memories of Blackheath days...

Blackheath days seem so far away...
Quite normal to pack bags Friday after work+travel from Camden to the Blue Mountains- Leura+Blackheath - for the weekend...
In spite of all those travels, never saw snow there...
Sighhhhh...
(Love the footprints in the snow...Quite haunting...) https://t.co/UvLqwCCzYZ

a wisdom of wombats...

A group of wombats = a wisdom of wombats...
So tempting to turn this phrase into a 'slang-leaning', political metaphor...giving these gorgeous characters a bad profile...
I'll refrain... https://t.co/je9v1HenmB

remembering Ray Bradbury...

Never felt 'connected' to 'science fiction' (sorry H.G.Wells) until I read work by this guy...Why? Bradbury goes beyond science fiction...a kind of teasing, taunting, surrealism...
My lingering favourites ='Dandelion Wine'+'The Day It Rained Forever'+'A Sound of Thunder' ... https://t.co/a1X0jHLLE0

team Victoria...

I too was born in Sydney...but have claimed Victoria as home for many years...Can't be more proud of the Victorian team's relentless efforts to get us safely through chaos...

bicycle buses...

What a grand idea...Exercise...Good ventilation...But when it rains? Pop up roof?

It has a rain canopy, yes.
