I'm going to commit crimes against this ivy

GEOCHARAX TIME

AAWWAEEHEUEHAH it baby

Aaand some burrows. They've been busy!

Baby geocharax, probably geocharax falcata.

Released afterwards, of course!

I feel like I am losing my mind out here!! why do these flowers look like this, and why are the gumnuts growing directly on the trunk like that 😭

I went and had a closer look because I was just sure I had overlooked something.

Ribboning, it was really hard to miss because it's high up, on the smaller branches and isn't forming very long or distinctive ribbons but its definitely there and I didn't notice it before.

THEY'RE IN LOVE

I'm on a mission to record the eucalyptus trees growing on my property, even though I can't tell which types they are. I probably won't be able to do them all, but I'm trying!

This is a really cool area on the property, not far from the house. Native diversity, quiet but wild, and seems to get some animal use.

I'm trying to note the plants in the area. Unsurprisingly, the eucalyptus trees are giving me grief. I'm kinda tempted to label every one, "a gumtree."

Extra details.

This eucalyptus at the edge of my backyard has some cool leaves. Not sure what kind it is, though.

Lichen, on an apple tree.

The moon last night was too bright for my phone camera to even pick up.

I've decided to start sharing pictures here! I take a looooot of pictures of the sky :)
