Terri’s Sunday Stills: Lifted Spirits

Unlike Terri’s husband 😉 I don’t have a spirits cabinet or any bottles either empty or full and my spirits are nearly always lifted as I enjoy my life and bushboys world.

Over the years I have tried to get images of spirits, ghosts, apparitions, phantoms or spectres. These are the ones I have found
Some are in treestree_old_axe cut_named_raspberry lookout_march 2020

Early to Rise

Terri’s Sunday Stills: #Early to Rise

From my place in the forest I don’t have a great vantage point to get a great early to rise photo. This is what I often can get when I am early to rise

A sweet future

The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #83: Future
Terri’s Sunday Stills: #Sweet

Since the fire, I have been putting out food for the Red-necked Wallabies and anyone else who was hungry. A while ago I noticed one of the females pouch was getting bigger and eventually a Joey poked their head out (Jump for Joy) and the update

This morning a Red-necked Wallaby hopped in to the garden. I have seen her before as she was one of the regulars who came for food. Today, I noticed her pouch was a bit squirmy and yes she also has a Joey.

As the Wallabies have Joeys, it points to a good season ahead. When the years are not that good as the past 2 – 3 years have been, there hasn’t been many young around. During hard times, Wallabies won’t produce young.

I’ll be keeping an eye out for others now. Having a photographic record I should be able to identify the females and those who have young.
