My water dreaming

image source: pixabay public domain As a child I swam with an almost religious dedication. I hated swimming club, (competition and people were not my thing), but I loved the zen of doing laps and would look forward to the afternoon or morning routine of diving into a cold pool and losing myself in following … Continue reading My water dreaming

Coffee and puppychino at Urth cafe with the girls and a good book; Saskia Beudel's fantastic account of trallelling in Australia's desert heartland. So enjoyable to read such insightful Australian nature writing, a great read. #NatureWriting #NatureReading #BooksAndCoffee #BooksAndDogs #AustralianWriting #Australia #bookstargram #Books
I might be stuck behind a desk but it is enough to know somewhere creeks are flowing and flannel flowers are blooming. #Girraween #Bush #flannelflower #Bushwalking
Just a quick book post, just finished Ashley Hay's Gum the story of eucalyptus and their champions, heavy on history, bit light on the botany but a great read, especially enjoyed the chapter; Ancient kingdom of fire and the chapters that recounted the Wilderness society's efforts to preserve wilderness areas and the discussion of climate change and what it will mean for our eucalypt forests. Lyrical, informative writing, a great read. #NatureWriting #NatureReading #Bookstagram #Bush #Books #Eucalypt #GumTree
The creek was really flowing! Normally a crossing point but maybe not at the moment, might get more than just wet boots. Not that long ago the park was desolate with drought and fire, now it is filled with the joyous sound of rushing water. Back in town but feeling so much better for a few days in the bush. #Girraween #BaldRockCreek #Bushwalking #NationalPark #Nature #NatureWriting
The locals hopping about, Pyramid rock in the background. Nice to be back in the bush.
Tiddalik has been laughing. Going bush for the weekend just hoping the bridge will still be open when we come back. Condamine is up. #Flood #Tiddalik #Warwick #Bush
So the Christmas madness has begun and glitter and butterflies are required. Just dropping the resident christmas fairy to work this morning. Remember to be nice to retail workers they are doing their best and get in early for Christmas shopping, supply chains have been impacted this year, but knowledgeable staff are great at finding alternatives if needed. Check out @rosalind_bella2 Bron posted a much better selfie #Dymocks #DymocksToowoomba #ChristmasRetail
A post for today has to be a photo from a few weeks ago that has just been sitting on my ph, a resident maggie keeping me company on campus. #magpie
I have not been posting much lately, been in a bit of a rut, so going to try and do a daily post for a week and just see where that takes me, maybe I will see the world differently. Starting with just a happy Insta of Ada at Horn park, everything is so green. #RescueDogsofInstagram #RescueDogs #HornPark #Toowoomba
