Last photo for January 2020

Published on February 1, 2020February 20, 2020 by bushboy83 Comments

Last month I did an impromptu photo challenge which struck a chord with a lot of people, so why not do it again. I’ll probably set the challenge every month for the rest this year.

The rules are simple:
1. Post the last photo on your SD card or last photo on your phone for the 31st January.
2. No editing – who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like or the subject matter didn’t cooperate.
3. You don’t have to have any explanations, just the photo will do
4. Create a Pingback to this post or link in the comments
5. Tag “The Last Photo”

Here’s mine

Do join in and show us what you’ve got.

Perhaps I should also link this to The Friday Friendly Photo Challenge: All in a Row
I was getting a few sunset photos and though of Amanda’s photo challenge hence the trees in a row. I actually have a better photo but this is ok

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Tree Art
The roots of a Strangler Fig
Insect made patterns on a Scribbly Gum
In the bush, someone is always watching
Spiders help make tree art

Wonderful zigzag patterns

Getting in close

The wondrous colours revealed when the bark strips off
and of course I had to revisit my own shadow tree art

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.

Lismore Rainforest Botanical Gardens – the paths

Published on January 18, 2019January 28, 2019 by bushboy11 Comments

It was the beginning of a hot day when we went to the Lismore Botanical Garden. We have been meaning to go every time we go to the Recycling Centre or as it is commonly know, the Tip Shop. Yes great bargains are to be had from the things that people throw away. But I digress. The morning was starting to heat up but it was cool walking among the trees. There has been very low rainfall so the plants were not at the best. We will go back when the rains come and I’ll show you some of the fabulous flowers, seeds, plants and hopefully there will be lots more birds.

The Gardens are a community project and the volunteers do a fabulous job. Over four hectares have been planted with dry, subtropical and riverine rainforest species. Here is their website

Enjoy walking the paths of the Lismore Rainforest Botanical Gardens
