This is just the one big photo blog. I hope you have time to scroll through. It started rather small at the start of December and just seemed to grow as stuff happened. I have included some of the skies that may have been in Beckys Square Sky photo challenge or missed out. I really enjoyed Beckys #SquareSky challenge. Perhaps you may need a pot of tea to get to the end!

Lets go. I love skinks and how they just move about on brick walls.

Come Summer and the Dragonflies are flitting about the garden.

I couldn’t find this Dragonfly at first when it disappeared into the garden.

Summer in Australia with the deafening cacophony of cicadas. When the tree you were in many years ago has gone, make do with anything to get out of your shell.

Brown Ringlets have wonderful “eyes” on their wings.

I was visited by an Assassin Bug who did a bit of fluff cleaning for me.

Mud Daubers make wonderful clay pots to raise their young. They lay an egg in the clay pot, they go about gathering spiders which they comatose for the grub to eat when it hatches.

I have been watching this one build a cone shape on the architrave of the office door.

Some mornings the chicken wire fence has lots of spider webs in the mesh.

What a fabulous green the grasshopper has which contrasts with the yellow of the Deities flower.

I love the Line Blue Butterflys antennae

The Bromiliad flower with a bonus spider shell.

The Stingless Native Bees loved the Day Lily flower.

After the rain, the Crocus flowered much to the delight of the Stingless Native Bees

They certainly have a laconic way of flying don’y they?

The red Dahlia is one of my favourite flowers.

The Tree Begonias supplied a splash of red in the garden too.

It was a great year for the Agapanthus flowers.

A tiny native flower with a fluffy centre.

Another lovely flower I was given from my friend Geoff.

A very pretty Rose in a friends garden.

I think this flower is an Egg and Bacon plant flower.

The Hibiscus flowers welcomed the rain  in December.

A field of Daisys on the side of the road.

The Curry Bush had a great flowering last year as well

The storm season arrived a bit late last year but when it came, it was spectacular.

This sky was incredible

And again

I love capturing the suns rays.

The palm leaf had shiny spots of water which glistened in the sunlight.

People must have thought I was mad walking around trying to get the sun in the right spot.

This sunset was amazing. The colours changed every minute.

It’s hard getting a sunrise photo when you live in a forest.

The Spangled Drongo was wondering what I was doing interrupting bath time.

It isn’t often I see a Peaceful Dove at the bird bath.

When White Ibis flocks glide overhead it is just magnificent.

A female Figbird or a young Figbird just getting his red mask.

One day he will look like his dad.

Check out the pants on the Channel-bill Cuckoo

They have a very serious looking bill don’t they?

Rainbow Lorikeets are quite raucous as they nibble about on the Lemon Scented Tea Tree.

I am so glad the Forest Kingfisher has returned this Summer to forage around the house.

An activities box outside of a Cafe in Toowoomba.

The Moon was just wonderful with the coloured rings on a cloudy night.

If pupils were white it could look like an eye.

Some people have said this photo has a Japanese feel about it. What do you think?

Thanks for dropping by
