Another beautiful poem for this time of year

This Is the Time to Be Slow
by John O'Donohue

This is the time to be slow,
Lie low to the wall
Until the bitter weather passes.

Happy Monday x

Happy #Twixmas ( the time between Christmas and New Year )

"Family isn’t always blood, it’s the people in your life who want you in theirs: the ones who accept you for who you are, the ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what.”

Two stunning, haunting scenes this #ThickTrunkTuesday by Joy Kachina Photography.
Joy captures the dying Miena Cider Gums of Tasmania—majestic even in decay. Endemic, endangered, and vanishing fast due to climate change.

The 'Forest Lodge Tree', an impressively tall river red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) in the upper Glenelg River catchment in the heart of Gariwerd / The Grampians.

I laser-measured this tree at 48 m tall, 7.3 m in trunk girth at chest height, and 26 m in average canopy diameter.

Happy winter solstice x

And so the Shortest Day came and the year died
And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world
Came people singing, dancing,
To drive the dark away.

You know when #Abla’s in stealth mode, something’s up - she doesn’t bark if she thinks she’s got a chance of catching what she’s got her eye on.
Lucky for those kangaroos, they were in the neighbour’s paddock; they know she’s here. 🦘🦘🐕

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
