Debbies One Word Sunday Photo Challenge: Change
The Agave in my garden flowers every Winter. The flower spear appears and over a few weeks changes
The bees enjoy the flowers too

The One Word Sunday Photo Challenge from Debbie: Climb
Once you find the stairs
You have to climb just to see what you can see

Here is Debbies One Word Sunday: Size
Some of the things I have been contemplating on contributing for OWS perhaps can also be some of my Favourite Things as Patti from Ragtag asked.
Perhaps some of the small things in my world should be a start. The feature photo is a Scarlet Honeyeater, the smallest honeyeater and a red jewel that flashes through my garden and the forest.
I love having Stingless Native Bees in my garden
and of course Blue-banded Bees scrunching into flowers
All of the tiny native flowers that abound on my place
I have to include some big things too. Kookaburras are always hunting in the garden and waking me with their morning song
Overhead one of the Square-tailed Kite family soars 
While in the garden, a Red-necked Wallaby snacks on the Honey Gem Grevillea 
The trees of the forest that surround are the big
Now a warning for those who have a thing about spiders – there is one in the next image
Isn’t she a beauty. She lived in my laundry for a Summer and then came into the lounge and dining rooms for Winter last year. I think she became bored of my company and headed outside.

Simplicity
Missing
Debbies One Word Sunday: Missing
I looked
I was sure it
was there.
Where could
it have gone.
I was ready
poised,
balanced,
hands steady,
eye unblinking
but yet
it was missing.
How could
it happen?
Was it
my shadow?
Did something else
cause it
to go missing?
I stand still,
I wait,
lens locked,
finger ready,
at last
no longer
missing

What’s on the beach
Debbie’s One Word Sunday: Pollution
One day, about a year ago, my bestie and I went to South Ballina Beach to have a pleasant late Autumn day in the warm North Coast sunshine. While we strolled along the beach we noticed a few bits of plastic so we thought we should pick it up. After a while we had gathered enough to have to find a place to put the rubbish we had picked up. Luckily along the beach I found a 20litre bucket so we had somewhere easy to put all we had found.
What we found was plastic. Drink bottles, some with foreign writing so we assumed they came from a freight ship or cruise ship out to sea, 4litre oil containers, shampoo bottles and my find of the day – a toilet seat!!!
Here is our find of plastic pollution that is destroying our oceans, or I should say has destroyed our oceans and marine environment.
So how about when you go to the beach or to a park beside a waterway, pick up a bit of rubbish to help in your small way to help our planet
Sea Turtles eating plastic bags that look like jelly fish, plastic bottles and straws that break down into micro plastics and are ingested by all manner of marine life that fill their stomachs and are unable to pass through, leaving less room for their natural foods, microfibres and microbeads that are used in manufacturing that will always be in our environment. Bio-degradable is a myth unless it is produced from natural products.

Lost bottles
The word prompt from Debbie at Travel With Intent for One Word Sunday: Pollution
Lost in the water
among the oysters
a bottle waits
and waits
and waits
Lost on a plinth
surrounded by blue paint
a bottle waits
and waits
and waits

Toowoomba Street Art
The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #42: Creativity
Debbie from Travel with intent One Word Sunday: Memory
In January, I travelled to Toowoomba to see my daughter. One thing we enjoy is walking around the city discovering places and things. One day I said I wanted to walk the streets and lane ways to discover the street art. A memory of being in Toowoomba and seeing some of the local creativity on show.
I hope you enjoy a bit of a walk around looking at Street Art.
