Some Photos...

Some photos from way back from in April that I seemed to have overlooked from a bushland stroll. I was captivated by moss, bark, budding flowers and puff balls. 

Puffballs are a kind of fungus that have a roundish shape. They release cloudy puff like spores when mature or disturbed. They are edible if totally white inside.

Those I came across are inedible.

There's always plenty to see on an amble through the bush...

 

When I Say...

When I say "do you want to go outside" it always gets the attention of Miss Bear and Charlie immediately.

Yesterday they were both moaning at the back door for their morning outdoor romp.

It was pouring so I was ignoring them.

Until it got to the ridiculous point of endless loud meowing.

So out they went!

They soon realised why I hadn't taken them out into their enclosure. 

They then began yowling to come inside, they had never been so thoroughly drenched, and they were far from happy.

They both voiced their displeasure as I took them back inside to the warm and dry.

Miss Bear happily munched on some fresh catnip after her ordeal.

Whilst Charles snuggled down to sleep after drying himself.

This morning is once again a glorious wet day and not a peep is coming from either of them.

Lesson learned it seems...

 

This Time Of Year...

This time of year I often wake to the clouds hugging the earth.

These mornings always induce a smile.

It's not quite the same as the foggy weather I loved in the UK, where at times the fog was so thick driving was quite perilous, and snow and frost accompanied the misty weather creating striking views.

I find myself wishing it would stay like this, as all is quiet and still.

There's not even the slightest breeze.

Birds are silent.

It's like the world has paused...

 

Bolt Coffee...

Bolt Coffee have a great café which is located in Midland in a renovated old shed. 

They sell a variety of different coffees the company roast as well as other merchandise bearing their logo. 

The service is good, staff friendly which is becoming a rarity these days.

It's not the cosiest café to frequent on a cold day, however there are blankets dotted about to throw over your shoulders if needed.

I like the fact it's a pet friendly venue, it's always nice meeting new pups and having a slobbery hello. 

They also have a bookcase full of free books, you can leave a book or take a book.

 Or simply grab one to read as you enjoy your coffee.

They often have plants for sale, on this particular day there was some free everlasting seeds on offer. 

I did intend to take some home but got distracted by a very friendly dog...
