Snorkelling

Snorkelling on The Great Barrier Reef wearing SUPER sexy stinger suits.

Paved Paradise & a ?

I've always liked this song it has such a good message behind it, but the other day I found this clip on u tube which highlights some horrifying statistics.

So my question is -

Do you think musicians should use their public position to highlight valuable causes more??

Let me know what you think.

Another Snake Bite!!

"Chloe Emma" is at the vets having a sleep over tonight!!

Bitten by a Brown Snake AGAIN...

The curse of Jack Russell Terriers they just can't help themselves.

Another bottle of VERY expensive anti-venom.

She has been lucky both times, as we have been around & have got her to the vet quickly, one day I know we won't be.

At least this time we know she will survive. Last time she had 3 serious bites with one being on the neck it was real touch & go for weeks.

Today only one just above her paw.

We haven't seen a snake here in years but they came to slash the vacant block next door & maybe that's why, she was actually sitting up on my lap when she saw our Red Cattle Dog react to something, she was off my lap in a flash and well.... the rest is history(NOT!!)

just a BIG vet bill.

Wildlife in the Qld Floods

In the last couple of days we have seen a lot of different wildlife doing a lot of different things. They surely do have good survival mechanisms, in fact just by observing we could probably learn a lot from them.

BUT, I wouldn't like to take any tips from this baby bird.

He flew into our front sliding door and must have given himself a throbbing headache,

along with a 3hr stretch of the dizzies.

Lane picked him gently up and put him on the bush seat on the front veranda. At least it was under cover and he was also able to dry off a bit & groom himself. It took the little bird about 3hrs to pull himself together before flying off. Hope he's okay.

IN MY GARDEN

this morning i saw......

1 Kookaburra having a Cricket for breakfast

A family of Magpies

Rainbow Lorikeets also having breakfast And telling each other how good it was. (They were VERY vocal)

Lots of Noisy Miners (Mickey Birds)

Willy Wagtail sung a beautiful song

A Storm bird who also makes a beautiful sound. Am quite surprised he has chose to live here of late, I think he likes the mulberries.

Lastly one of my favourite visitors a Blue Crane.

Sorry no photos of the birds they were all to quick for me hurrying around the garden doing their morning rituals, but here is some photos of our resident Bearded Dragon, isn't he/she(does anyone know how to tell the diff) awesome.

He is so quiet -as you can see from the close-up photo. Still gives me the fright of my life sometimes when I don't see him & nearly step on him only to have him scurry off at the last moment. We once had a few Bearded Dragons around the garden but at the moment there only seems to be the one. I do hope the others come back. We have so much development around our town at the moment the wildlife seems to be diminishing. It's not the sleepy country town it once was.

I am trying more then ever to create a safe refuge now days and the appearance of the Blue Crane & the Storm bird, 2 birds I have never seen in my garden before have heightened that.


Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday
