urban daisy

Kind of makes it hard to rouse over the chalk left on the path…

Even lady beetles need morning tea breaks.

..did I lie on my back on the green ant infested grass to get this shot? Well I almost did, until, (duh!) it occurred to me that I could break the stem and hold it up. Perhaps that makes me a less intrepid would-be photographer, but green ants are so ouchy!

Lady beetle, lady beetle fly away…

A warm, calm way to wait for dinner.

You can see this little fellow has lost his tail at one stage. These skinks are very common in the garden, this one basking in the warm morning sun, on the Magnolia tree.

Don’t they look like they have lost their heads?

Classic mother’s day flowers, with a bonus.

One of Australia’s endangered birds, these fellows have a very solemn aspect, for which we have nicknamed the ones at our local sanctuary,  ‘the judges’.
