And Then the Sun Came Out

Photo a day challenge — Week 26: May 13th to May 19th — There’s been a lot of rain along most of the East Coast of Australia this year. A LOT. Flooding has inundated homes and disrupted travel and caused all kinds of inconveniences. Am I crazy to move to an area that is renowned for its heavy downfalls? Perhaps, but my plants…

A Trailer full of Garden

Photo a day challenge — Week 25: May 6th to May 12th — This week will catch me up! Over the week as we moved house and I started a new job the camera was packed away in its bag, so I’m afraid it’s phone photos only!

When the Crow Comes Calling Change is Nigh

Photo a day challenge — Week 24: April 29th to May 5th — What a week this was! It started by finally getting a removal date from the relocation company. We were about to relocate 1600 kilometres (996 miles) away. Of course, with Australia’s vast distances we didn’t leave the state over this distance.

Funny, Froggy and Fantastic

Photo a day challenge — Week 23: April 22nd to April 28th — Yes, this one is late. It’s been a busy few weeks. We’ve moved house and I’ve started a new job. These photos are all from our “old” house and garden. The feature photo shows a Black-banded Hoverfly (Episyrphus viridaureus) pollinating a Vietnamese Mint plant. I think they’re stunning little guys…
