It was a mixed bag for April. The start of the month was rather wet and then it became hot and dry again and the last few days have been drizzly. All this made for good time to be in the garden. I planted some cuttings and re-potted other cuttings for Spring. The wet Autumn has meant not much mowing was done but when I had the chance off I went for almost three hour rides around the place.
I had Taiwanese guests for one night this month and they were so nice. He spoke English and she, only a small amount so we did a bit of sign language chat. I also have a sore heel which is fine in the mornings but aches when I stop doing stuff so other than sitting around in the afternoons.
I have posted a bit of what I found in other posts this month so they aren’t replicated here. These are all new.
Here is your scrolling April song. A Aotearoa New Zealand band with some Aussies into the mix
Now that has woken you, here’s a sunrise trying to break through the clouds and fog
Sometimes if I am having breakfast in the sunroom I can feel someone watching me. I guess Tiny wouldn’t mind a bit of seed for breakfast as well
A few mornings ago a Crimson Rosella and his mate dropped into the garden for a few minutes
I went to do a bit of tidying up in this garden. When I crawled in under the Grevillea I found a Satin Bowerbirds bower, the courtship area where the male dances and sings. If the female reckons he’s good enough, they’ll head off and make a nest in a tree nearby.
This bird was sitting on the branch in silhouette and hard to identify so I was trying to get a photo. I did get a couple which are dark like this one.
I was down at the Clarence River in town getting some random photos like this jetty when I get photo-bombed by an Australian Raven.
He thought it was so funny
At least I was able to get a few photos eventually.
Standing on the jetty I noticed some bubbles coming to the surface and suddenly there was lots. I have no idea what was under the water. The river is a murky brown unfortunately.
Not like the water in my dam at times when the Cape Water Lilies flourish
Often in my photo of butterflies and bees, occasionally birds, who feed on the Pentas flowers you just get to see a flower. Here is as much of the bush as I can get into a photo. To the left is a Bi-colour Dietes which has just finished flowering. On the left is a Lomandra, a Fan Palm trunk in the shadows and below Walking Iris
I didn’t notice until too late that the Camilla sasanqua had flowered. This is the last flower
The rain early in the month had some fungi appearing
These were almost side by side. The above was bigger than in the photo. I couldn’t get it all in whereas the one below was a easy macro
The toadstool as it was in the morning. By the next day the cap had fully opened
I posted an Orange Lions Tail Hibiscus on Friday. This is another look at the flower so you can see why it’s called Lions Tail.
A different tail, an Orchard Swallowtail Butterfly
This is called find the Grasshopper. The green leaves are a Native Violet that just appeared in the garden
On afternoon’s sunset tinged the clouds in tangerine
When it was a bit wet outside, Perons Tree Frogs liked to hang out on the verandah, competing with the Geckos for the insects attracted to the house lights. This is from inside look at their feet and pads hanging only the glass.
From the outside. A rough skin with small green spots. Those feet are big.
There were a few nice moon events over the month. A lot of nights there was cloud cover. When Our Moon shone it was quite bright.
I enjoy mixing Eucalypt leaves and branches against a full moon.
One night the halo around the moon was very bright throwing rainbow colours through the clouds for a moment until the clouds swallowed the moons light
I hope you enjoyed a roam through my April. As always did you have a favourite? Also for Cees FOTD

The Changing Seasons is a monthly project where bloggers around the world share their thoughts and feelings about the month just gone. We all approach this slightly differently, though generally with an emphasis on the photos we’ve taken during the month.
For many of us, looking back over these photos provides the structure and narrative of our post, so each month is different. Some focus on documenting the changes in a particular project — such as a garden, an art or craft project, or a photographic diary of a familiar landscape.
But in the end, it is your changing season, and you should approach it however works for you.

Welcome to my March. I have already posted some bits and piece during March, so this one doesn’t have a photo overload.
March was a most unusual month weather wise. Summer was mild, things were a bit hot in February but that is normal. February is our hottest month. March is usually mild as that’s when it is good to plant a lot of things in the garden but mainly for planting Australian native plants. The mild weather and occasional rain makes March ideal.
This year there have been so many hot days in March a lot of plants have been kept in their pots so they are easy to water. Some of those whose garden beds were prepared were attacked by Brown Bandicoots in the dead of night. I gave up with the Marigolds, smoothing soil and replanting every morning. I just stood them up and left the holes. I got them to help turn the soil in a few other beds by a doing bit of digging, adding some compost and mulch.
Attack when I wasn’t looking was a rodent of some sort. It was bigger than a mouse and tail was shorter than a rat but much the same size. I put live traps out and caught three Black Rats who were relocated far from here. But this one didn’t go anywhere near the live trap but did sometimes step on a mouse trap, set it off but leave it without any signs.
The worse moment came when I noticed this strange liquid on the floor in the pantry. Looking further I found some cubes for making stock on the same shelf as a carton of UHT milk. Apparently stock cubes are salty and you need a drink. I found out that a rat like rodent cannot drink a litre of milk. Luckily it was on the second to shelf not the top shelf. It just disappeared and has never come back after I actually nearly caught it in the pantry. I shut the door behind me but somehow it squeezed under the door which has hardly any gap to the floor.
Any way lets get going
I hope you enjoy your March scrolling song
March bought some lovely foggy mornings
Earlier posts about Figbirds coming in at this time of year. This is the tree they come for which has so many figs
Wandering around town I was almost swooped by this White-headed Pigeon
The Whipbirds have been in the garden a few times in march. A bit of new plant growth sometimes means there are insects about to grab a quick snack
Also hoping for something to eat, a female Red-backed Wren or Jenny wren, hop around the ground looking for insects and grass seeds. A small flock come through the garden most mornings
A story with a happy ending. I was in the loungeroom when something banged in to window. It wasn’t a loud thump, so I thought a bird has made a good go at braking. When I had a look, I found this beautiful Red-browed Firetail Finch laying on the verandah couch. It was a bit dazed bit seemed OK. I put it in a box in filtered sunlight. I can back after a while to see if it was OK. It was sitting up and moved a little. I picked it up and as soon as I opened my hand, it flew off.
I hope to think that is one of these in the birdbath one hot afternoon. I just replaced the water that was quite warm with cool water. Not only were there Red-browed Firetail Finches but a Grey Fantail and Eastern Yellow Robin jumped in as well
I have a large Bearded Dragon who hangs around close by but never close to the house. I think there has been a bit of a meeting of Bearded Dragons As I have had this little one scuttling around the verandah for a few weeks. That’ll stop a few insects getting into the house.
One wet morning, I went to go to the rain gauge and looked in a gumboot and there it was, sleeping off a hard night. We both got a bit of a fright.
Isn’t this a weird one. I don’t know if it’s a wood borer or a wasp or who knows. That is one long ovipositor
So many dragonflies in the garden at the moment too. I should just take time and sit by the dam for a while to see how many and what sorts there are.
The Cassia tree which usually flowers in January didn’t come into full glory until the start of March. Because of this perhaps that is why there wasn’t as many Lemon Migrant Butterflies this year either. I am still trying to ID the native bee
There was an occasional Lemon Migrant Butterfly
There has been so many tiny Line Blue Butterflies. So small and so beautiful sitting on an Hibiscus flower bud
All of the Hibiscus have been flowering non-stop for weeks now. Isn’t this pink one just so pretty?
This Hibiscus was planted in the wrong place a long time ago but it still kept going, even being ignored during droughts, but this year it just has gone whoosh with so many of these delicately shaded flowers
Some of the Poinciana in town flowered so well
A Teddy Bear Bee enjoys an early morning buzz around the garden. Pentas are a firm favourite.
I love this sign at one of the pub in towns beer garden. I wonder if they are still called that now-a-days. They probably have some wanky name like outdoor recreation area now.
One night, sitting at my desk, from the corner of my eye I spotted something drop from the desk light to the to of the printer. By the time I went to have a closer look it has disappeared. It went up inside the light shade. It is quite hot in there as I had the light on for quite a while while I sitting here. Eventually the spider decided just to hang about.
Speaking of which, I can’t hang about. I should have finished this last night but weariness overtook me. I spent over two hours mowing down the back paddock and a bit of the house yard in the afternoon. So off you go and construct your Changing Season post.
As always…..did you have a favourite photo?

For this week’s challenge, I want you to think of your favorite type or style of photography as the road you’ve chosen to take most often. For me, it’s landscape photography as it fits so well with my traveling soul. My examples are all landscapes, but I want to see in what style you like to photograph best.”
Where do I take this prompt without being over the top. I have been thinking about what to post and why, which I do find hard and this is why it has taken me a while to think about my photos and my road.
I am leaving this lot in a bunch so you don’t have to scroll forever 😂
Left to right, top to bottom.
Row 1 – My road to get home especially after going to the Raspberry Lookout & photographing Paper Daisies
Row 2 – Flowers one of my favourite things to photograph as well the birds around my place The little Yellow Robin is a lot of peoples favourite as well as the colourful parrots like this Eastern Rosella
Row 3 – More birds, Blue-faced Honeyeater and Rainbow Lorikeet who enjoy snacking on Bottlebrush flowers and Rainbow Bee Eaters looking splendid on the branches of a dead tree
Row 4 – Of course there has to be insects and a bit of macro. A Scarlet Jezebel Butterfly in a Honey Gem Grevillea, a Native bee my favourite name, Teddy Bear Bee and a Native Stingless Bee flying into a Day Lily
Row 5 – More Macro A close up of a Scarlet Jezebel Butterfly, Tree Fern frond about to uncurl and another favourite to try to get, water drops.
Some new things I have been doing over the past couple of years which is a lot of fun.
Of course my water abstracts I create for Jez’s Water Water Everywhere
There is always a face to find for Monday Portrait. Cattle seem to be a lot of peoples favourites
Dipping in and out of Monochrome
Creating for Silent Sunday where I have been using photos of churches or religious items
I did a bit of hibernating during the middle of the day in February. The mornings were quite pleasant, then the heat of the day arrived, in the low to high 30’sC, and the humidity usually crept up to around 60%. This went even higher if it had rained the day before which didn’t happen very much. This February there was 38mm in total for the month, whereas last year it was well in excess of 500mm. Actually as I write, a storm is brewing like yesterday. Unfortunately yesterdays .5mm was disappointing.
Most of these photos are from around my place. My trips to town I usually continued my quest for window shades for Ludwigs Monday Windows or it was too hot and I scampered home or sat in an air-conditioned cafe. The opening photo is from a cafe where I was having a coffee waiting for my car’s registration inspection to be done.
Some of the other February photos have been sprinkled through other posts so this post isn’t as long as some of my other monthly wrap-ups..
I guess I better give you your song to listen to as you scroll through while looking at the things I discovered in February.
A rainy morning in town. Water drops making patterns on the marble windowsill
I looked out of the door of my office when a Carpet Snake came past in the late afternoon. I know I should have warned you but aren’t patterns and colours just the wonderful on this two metre hard working snake. Unfortunately I had just set some traps on the verandah over the past few nights and caught three Black Rats. I guess their scent was still on the verandah boards.
The resident Laughing Kookaburra on his lookout tree in the front garden. I love watching them as they scan the garden and suddenly drop onto the ground to grab whatever unsuspecting creature happened to move at the wrong time.
A Blue-faced Honeyeater wonders if a better snack may be found over there.
Haven’t seen a Black-faced Cuckoo Shrike around my place for a while then this one turns up and hung about for a few days. Their colours and patterns are lovely. This one was sitting on the edge of the bush and I took the photo from my verandah.
It is always a delight when the Grey-crowned Babblers come into the garden trees to look for insects under the bark. They do quite a good job of bark peeling on their quest. There is a constant chatter while foraging so you always know when they are around. Have a listen – from greamechapman.com.au
The Grey-crowned Babblers live in family groups of between four and twelve so it’s common to see a couple of Babblers digging away together on the same tree. One will call another over and they systematically dig under the bark. Instead of withdrawing their beaks, they flick their heads upwards sending bark flying.
Yes I did try to get an action photo but failed miserably. These two were fun to watch. At one stage the one at the top decided that there was better food where the other one was and just sat on top of him. A bit of get off, no I’m holding on scuffle took place until one of them went elsewhere
The Rainbow Lorikeets are a bit cheeky peeping through the window to see what I am having for breakfast.
This is the first time I have seen a Red-browed Firetail Finch getting nectar or something from the Grevillea. Most times they are hopping along the grass eating seeds and any unfortunate insect who happens by.
I think the Yellow-faced Honeyeater caught me sneaking with my camera while he was enjoying the yummy Ornamental Ginger flowers.
It’s all hands on deck when the Cassia flowers in January. This year the full flowering didn’t happen until February and then the tree was full of bees. The Metallic Green Carpenter Bees are the big fellas among the flowers, while the tiny Stingless Native Bee flies in to get his share
I can’t resist Teddy Bear Bees when they come around to see if the Red Pentas flowers have anything to offer.
This poor old Tree Begonia has had a hard life. Always munched by possums mainly, then, as the Bangalow Palm died during the drought of 2017-19, large fronds dropped on it which broke it almost to ground level. Then I was doing a bit of a garden tidy when I managed to break the whole top off once again.
Here are the first flowers since it was planted probably over fifteen years ago. It is sort of protected by a surrounding of Calathea plants which have decided that that part of the garden is where they are going to really settle,
I have no idea what the Bottlebrush trees are doing. Some of the trees are having another flowering now. I love this soft pink Bottlebrush flower
While all the Flame Trees in town had a spectacular flowering, my poor tree managed to pop out a few bracts of flowers
The Chinamans Hat plant has flowered since it was planted three years ago. I actually thought it was a Butterfly Bush so now I’ll have to get a Butterfly Bush cutting or plant. I would like the pink one I posted for Cee a few days ago that was in the Art Gallery Garden.
I did a Cee’s FOTD post of the Cape Blue Water Lily in the Art Gallery Garden from another angle. This is the whole flower from a different angle.
The Art Gallery Garden also had a lot of the Feverfew flowers
Again, the light on the Art Gallery Garden made the White African Daisy stand out
The Gardenias in my garden also had another flowering in February when it looked like they had finished for the year.
Both of the Pavonia Hastata hibiscus bushes have flowered for the first time this year as well. Such a tiny flower with so much detail going on. the petals are 25mm or one inch
After a few rainy day hot days, there weren’t as many fungi appearing as I had hoped. I did find this one on a morning walk about the garden with another nearby.
I did manage to get away to Ballina for a couple of days. I was keen to get to the sand bar in the Richmond River to see if the Eastern Curlews were still about. They migrate, after breeding, from Russia and NE China to Australia in September and leave Australia in February/March.
“These amazing migrations are among the most awe-inspiring journeys of the natural world, with birds covering tens of thousands of kilometres each year,” he says. One bird, banded in Victoria, was next reported from Yakutyia in Siberia, 11,812 kms distant.” – Dr Fuller
Just strolling the sand bar looking for small crabs and molluscs.
I just love the layers looking across the sand bar towards the far bank of the North Arm of the Richmond River.
While in Ballina I was staying near Lighthouse Beach. I have seen the top of the lighthouse from a few places but have never gone up to the Richmond River Light, as it is officially known and I expected it would be like a regular lighthouse.
You may have seen the black and white version of the lighthouse earlier this month. It has to be the smallest. cutest lighthouses ever and yes it is still active.
While on a walk in the afternoon, suddenly there was a rustling in the undergrowth. A Brush Turkey wandered out from the dunes, then another, then another and another. As I walked along, they followed me. When I stopped, they looked nonchalant. I suspect someone is feeding them.
Anyway. here is a shadow selfie with my four new friends – until they found out I didn’t have any snacks.
I enjoyed sitting on the breakwall watching the various passers-by. There were the exercisers running or walking up to the end and down again, young mums pushing strollers, people on bicycles either fun or exercise, holiday makers and a bloke who gets around on a mobility scooter. Every time if I am there in the afternoons, I see him and say g’day and have a chat.
In the late evening, just as the sun is setting, the fishing trawlers head out for a nights fishing.
I just love how you can see all of the craters of Our Moon. Not a full Moon but it was quite bright.
As the Moon is up, it’s time for me to say goodbye to Changing Seasons for another month. I really do like to know if you have a favourite photo. Which one is yours?

Again another quiet be at home mostly month. The weather started to turn warm to hot signalling that Summer is here. The hot days were just that so time was spent inside in the middle of the day. Towards the end of the month, the rains came with hot days and afternoon storms, some of which were doozies. Thunder, house shaking a couple of times when the storm was directly over head, not much lightning and torrential rain. So much so that the gutters couldn’t hold the water and there were curtains of water around the house!
OK It’s time to have a look at what I found in January. There were a couple of exciting moments as you’ll see so away we go.
This is your scrolling song which is perfect for the rain I have had so far this month.
The frogs have been loving the rain as well. This Australian Green Tree Frog could have been living in the downpipe and was washed out with the force of the water. Their croaking has been so loud as it echos in the downpipes. They love the rain and that’s when they do their best croaking.
A regular on the verandah, a Garden Skink, who investigates every morning to see if a snack arrived over night
One of the annoying Brush-tailed Possums who clomp around the roof, thump onto the verandah and are generally noisy during the night. I think this female has a young one ready to be born judging by her big belly. When the young are bigger, they ride around on Mums back.
I spotted this unusual shaped insect scurrying across the verandah. Looking at the photo, I saw that it had a spider for lunch. You can see the fangs of the spider under the insect. It was moving quite quickly dragging lunch somewhere safe to consume.
Some of you have seen this Katydid before on a Macro Monday post. The Katydid flew onto my desk one night, no I didn’t jump, why would you ask! It was quite happy for a few snaps until I tried to get too close. The Katydid has already been in battle with a Huntsman Spider or one of the Velvet Geckos that live inside my home.
I chose two views from the kitchen window, the first is a young female who has just arrived as a garden visitor
And the other is the big young male who has staked my garden out as part of his territory
This is the first of the excitement photos. My old mate who lived down the road, gave me a whole lot of plants from his garden before he went into care. This is the first time this lily had flowered. Isn’t it fabulous.
All of the Hibiscus plants are flowering, the pinks and reds and this one is a favourite. It is in a neglected part of the garden (which is the next garden project area) but still has hung on for a very long time. The pink in the centre wrapped in a mass of messy orange petals.
The Ornamental Ginger plants are flowering through the garden giving off a wonderful scent at night that mingles with the Murraya and Frangipanni flowers perfumes.
The big black Orchard Swallowtail Butterflies have been in the garden for a while but in January several arrive and were flitting around the garden. The lone male had company. When I took this photo, there were five butterflies on the Pentas bush.
Thornbills are a regular around the bush and garden. A Buff-rumped Thornbill watched me closely as I walked around the garden.
For a while it seemed like there was a lack of small birds in the garden again. The Currawongs had gone for Summer but suddenly there were lots of small birds hopping around the garden again. A family, a male and five or six females or juvenile Red-Backed Fairy Wrens came looking for grass seeds.
Scarlet Honeyeaters are around most of the time. They are quite small and a flash of a red jewel zooming through the garden is a wonderful sight.
Yellow-faced Honeyeaters have established the garden as their territory but are always bullied by the bigger Friarbirds or Blue-faced Honeyeaters.
Just thought I’d drop in to see if you are still with us. A Rainbow Lorikeet examines the verandah in case something important may be happening.
The next bit of excitement was that a pair of Brown Goshawks came for a week or so to see what happens at my place. This is a reason for a lack of small birds around the garden I think. This photo is heavily edited as the Brown Goshawk was in shadow so I had to lighten and correct.
I always knew where they were in the garden because the pair chatted, probably letting each other know where I was in the garden. I thought they may have nested nearby but I haven’t seen them for over a week now.
Another reason the Goshawks may have moved on is the resident Square-tailed Kites may have encouraged them to move on. The Kites have been patrolling the area a lot more so maybe they have young in the nest.
As the Square-tailed Kites effortlessly soar and glide over head, the Noisy Friarbirds who also have lots of nests around at the moment, try to scare the Kites away with lots of squawking and dive bombing the kites if the get too close to the tree tops. This Noisy Friarbird decided it was time to get out of there real fast. One of the perils of pissing off a Kite
Another Yellow-faced Honeyeater just looking cute and inquisitive
The Spangled Drongos look rather majestic as they check the garden for a snack
Not happy about a photo being taken at bath time. I get “that look” from a Scarlet Honeyeater.
I must tell you that no bird was killed from the incident with the sun room window. It must have been a shock for the poor bird. I didn’t hear anything so I may not have been at home or elsewhere in the garden or shed. There wasn’t a hurt, injured or dead bird in the garden which surprised me
When the storms arrived they were good ones. This storm also was very windy bringing tree down some across the roads to get to the highway as well as across the highway. I had to go to town and I could just squeeze past the downed trees. On the way home, the bloke next door was finishing cutting the trees off the road. I was thinking I would have to do it when I got home and the day was hot and muggy.
After the storm has passed from over head, the sunset gave the storm clouds a lovely tinting
That’s a quick look through my January. Did you like the song? As always, did you have a favourite photo? Join in The Changing Seasons too
