Something like an update

Just a random Cassie and Ada happy at Woodgate picture. And another month ends and I have failed to keep up with posts. Life seems to have slipped from my grip at the moment. Well, that has to change and the end of the year is a pretty good time to recalibrate and re-establish discipline. … Continue reading Something like an update

Amongst the whispering Grandmother trees

Australia has the most magical environment, it is sometimes easy to forget how unique and wonderful our environment is, the flora as well as the fauna. I realize I take so much for granted. I sometimes look at European landscapes with envy, I am drawn to cooler and greener landscapes, but my own environment is … Continue reading Amongst the whispering Grandmother trees

Renewal

So the pandemic and its associated restrictions has taught me to appreciate some things I took for granted: not the least of which is how beautiful and wonderful my own surrounds really are, how my environment provides me with so much luxury in terms of food, climate and nature to nurture my soul. I have … Continue reading Renewal

Wonderfull Woodgate

To say Woodgate is quiet, is to make the understatement of the year, if fishing and lawn bowls is the height of excitement for you, than this is your place. There is a part of me that is reluctant to share this little piece of paradise, for fear that popularising the destination has the potential … Continue reading Wonderfull Woodgate

So today is national Eucalypt day, had to post at least one image of one of the many splendid eucalypts on campus. So many eucalyptus, I must admit I can only identity a few. The ubiquitous phrase "it's a gum tree" or " it's a Eucalypt" seems to do. This one is one our most common; a forest red gum. The fragrance of eucalypt is the defining fragrance of Australia. Mature trees like this are crucial to the survival of our fauna. Way to many are being cut down for development, and habitat loss is a rapidly accelerating crisis in our already stressed environment. Today's the day to hug a Eucalypt and breath in that sweet scent of home or better still plant and nurture a Eucalypt. #Eucalypt #NationalEucalyptDay #GumTree #Habitat #Australia
Just playing around with nature spots, picked up a piece of wind blown twig with some lovely ruffle lichen. Art not really my thing but happy to play. #NatureSpot #naturejournal #Lichen
Saturday, so breakfast out, Ada on best cafe behavior, Bron in awesome entirely op shopped outfit and my current read #IntersectionalEnviromentalist by #LeahThomas thought provoking reading. Hot summer day. #Books #Bookstagram #ecoreads
An overdue post: #HotChoc and a witchy read , B had an ARC of #Weyward by #EmiliaHart an interesting debut, some dark content; domestic abuse, rape, stillbirth but I bolted through it: 3 women at different times, Altha in 1619 tried for witchcraft, Violet in 1942 a Tom boy who would rather study bugs than be a lady and Kate in 2019 seeking sanctuary. "Weyward women belong to the wild.. And they cannot be tamed" I think I am a wayward woman, give me the wild any day. The ARC came in this hot pink cover with the published cover underneath nice presentation. A page turning read.

Been a bit missing in action of late, busy time of year work wise and I rashly decided to go back to study, taking 2 units in the environmental science major. So at the moment a lot of my reading relates to study, not that much different from my regular reading really. Started dipping back into Rachel Carson's seminal work Silent Spring. Second picture shows one of my favorite t shirts featuring an image of Carson and the words: Be curious. Was surprised to note the library copy of Silent Spring is actually a first edition. Making good use of the library by sourcing textbooks there.
Been on a bit of a whale thing at the moment I started the year reading Soundings and I found Danielle Clode's Killers in Eden in the library and what a fantastic read it has been, a mix of natural history and social history. Documenting orca biology and behavior while also examining the unique history of whaling in Eden and the unusual relationship that developed between whalers and orcas. Fascinating reading a short but great read. Also pictured is Rebecca Giggs Fathoms The world in the whale another fantastic read on the subject of whales. I am hoping to visit the Sapphire coast this year including a visit to Eden really looking forward to that, in the meantime Killers in Eden has consolidated my interest in the region it's history and ecology. A great read Clode is a fantastic writer on environment #Nature ##NatureWriting #NatureReading #NatureBooks #Whales #EdenNSW #sapphirecoastnsw #Books #Bookstagram
