I went for a gorgeous hike on the Cascades Trail today - feeling really grateful to live in such a beautiful place
A jumble of moss covered rocks and branches with some fern fronds and a little tiny waterfall A kookaburra sits on a little branch off the truck of a large stringybark tree A small waterfall glimpses between some large mossy rocks and tree trunk A hiking trail surrounded by thickets of whippy thin trees and green mossy grass

Little pied cormorant - Microcarbo melanoleucos
A black bird with a white belly and face, a long neck, and a yellow beak, is sitting on the end of a log poking out of a lush pond. It has its wings outstretched in the sun

About 80 or so bulbs are in our the front of the Guide Hall - hopefully some survive! (With many thanks to my attentive supervisors)
A white Guides Hall with Blue doors, roof and poles, surrounded by a silver chain fence. There are freshly mulched garden beds at the front. An L shaped garden bed inside a chain fence, covered in fresh sugar cane mulch. A few plants and a small dog statue poke through the mulch. A small garden bed covered in fresh sugar cane mulch. Two small plants poke through. A galah sits in a hollow in a gum tree. Another sits just nearby on a branch.

End of term starlight picnic with the Girl Guides ☘️❤️
A picnic basket sits on pink and blue patterned blankets, next to a few food containers. It is dark, but lit by some multicoloured electric relight candles and a small lantern. The knees of three Senior Guides sitting around the edges of the blankets are visible.

Post a picture of when your pet was little
A head and shoulders shot of an adolescent male cockatiel. He is mostly grey with patches of white, but some of the adult yellow and orange colouration is starting to show on his face and crest. His crest is in the semi-alert position and his feathers are generally a little ruffled.

Home from camping with the girls and I am wreckity-wrecked! My poor feet!

At least the rain held off though - we only got some light misty stuff on the first morning and the tents were lovely and dry when they came down ❤️⛺

Came across someone asking if it was harmful to buy harry potter media used.

I'm about to shock nobody who knows me, but: yes.

When it comes to boycotting, just a thought. It’s okay if you can’t quit a company cold turkey. In Master Gardeners, when we encourage people to switch to native plants, the goal is 70% native, not 100%. If you were shopping at a store 80% of the time and cut it back to 60%, that 20% still hurts.

I think I'm going to start blocking anyone I see posting or replying along the lines: 'I played around with ChatGPT asking about this, and it said XX'.

Sometimes there is bread in the tray of this ute
Four alert sulphur-crested cockatoos sit on the tray walls of a white ute. It is around sunset. Three alert sulphur-crested cockatoos sit on the tray walls of a white ute. One looks at the camera. It is around sunset. A sulphur-crested cockatoo sits on the roof of a white ute, outlined against a streaky blue sky.

This time-lapse was much lapsier than intended, but I can't be mad at it

My Girl Guides made this super adorable Little Free Art Gallery to go with the little free library that lives at their local shops!
A handmade box a bit larger than a shoebox sits on the top of a shelf of books. It has a rainbow coloured roof, a clear door, and contains several small artworks including one with pink and grey waves, one tiny Mona Lisa style portrait, and a frog. It has a sign that reads 'little free art gallery'

If you see this, and you're in the mood for this kind of thing, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery.
A beach with a small strip of white stand, surrounded by rocky scrub, and clear blue water with little patches of weed visible

A visitor on the footpath
A bluetongue lizard sits on a concrete footpath mostly in the sun. She is mostly relaxed but alert with her head up, looking at the person taking the picture.
