A Tiny...


 A tiny bush cricket I noticed one day in the garden, I don't think I've ever seen such a little one before. It seemed quite peaceful resting on the leaf. It appears it may have made a meal of the leaf already, perhaps it was pausing after eating. 
I am not one to kill insects in the garden. I have the approach that we are all here for a reason. Therefore I allow insects and bugs, even ants to get on with their lives.
The chickens obviously have a different mindset to some insects and bugs and will squabble over a prize catch. 
But that's nature's way isn't it? 
The land and creatures keeping things in balance...

My Macadamia Tree...

My macadamia tree has flowered again for the second time, missing last year completely. Most of the blooms were really high on the tree which made them difficult to photograph.
Macadamia nuts are a favourite food  of the red-tail black cockatoo which is why it was planted...

On A Warm...

On a warm spring day it was rather surprising to see the children's paddling pool at Whiteman Park completely empty. 
I've often admired the art work in this area, with it being empty I decided to get a closer look...
