365 Days In Nature - Day 146

Today we went to the Goomeri Pumpkin Festival!

While we were waiting for The Great Australian Pumpkin Roll we went for a drive to see the Kinbombi Falls, just out of town.

A Walk Around the Block at Pelican Waters

Today my husband and I got a rare opportunity to go for a little stroll together...sans children!

Their Grandma took them for a bike/scotter ride so we escaped as well.

I took my camera...like I have to tell you that!

And here is what I snapped...

I think this is a female or juvenile fig bird.

Bird of Paradise...how stunning are these flowers?!

Someone told me these are called Crucifix Orchids.

I don't know about you, but I see Simpsons characters in these flowers!

Beautiful bougainvillea! It's almost winter but these make it look like summer all year around!

A sweet Blue Faced Honeyeater

I spy a Crested Pigeon in the tree!

A juvenile Blue Faced Honeyeater...which is green faced.

A scrub/bush/brush turkey. What do you call them?

I was willing myself to see a stingray in the canal today...and guess what...?!

A banksia seed pod.

Old man banksia

I took the kids out to the block this afternoon so we could see the sunset for the first time.

Oh yeah, I think I could used to this!!

Another weed/wild flower!

These pop up all over our lawn.

I love colour.

Anyone know what it is?

Hello Maggie!

365 Days In Nature - Day 142

It's an oh-so-grey day here today.
But I went snooping in my neighbour's back yard again because I adore this rose.

365 Days In Nature - Day 137

I think I was destined to snap a butterfly today.

The first thing I saw outside this morning was a beautiful big orange butterfly.

I wandered around the yard trying to capture it but I either couldn't find it, or it was too fast.

This afternoon I took the kids out to the block and there were butterflies everywhere!

After a lengthy search on Google, I think this is a female Danaid Eggfly.

Am I right butterfly experts?

365 Days In Nature - Day 136

It's a very rainy day today so more raindrops on flowers (and my camera...oops!)

The kids saw a monster in the sky.

Can you see it?
