Nessi Gomes - All is Full of Love (Bjork Cover)

A Snuggly Night...

A snuggly night with Miss Bear who was unsettled by the pounding of the rain on the roof, a few reassuring words and some comforting pats eased her anxiety. Then she realised all was okay and that she was safe to curl up and go to sleep...

 

The Rain Began...

The rain began yesterday evening with gentle persistence, by the early hours of the morning it was torrential accompanied by howling winds thunder and lightning. 

It was glorious. 

The summer has definitely ended. 

Heading out before breakfast I enjoyed a morning walk in the still insistent rain, soaked and smiling when I returned home it was a fabulous way to start the day...

 

My Other...

My other white flowering gum tree has begun to burst into bloom, just as the smaller one is finishing its flowering. There is also a lot of new growth higher up the tree, I do love the pinkish tones of the new leaves, they are also very soft and translucent. 

With autumn weather beginning to blow in soon all the native plants in the garden will begin to bud up, the dry dusty days of summer lay behind us now. Autumn and winter bring the native plants out of dormancy, many flowering all the way through to spring, others though will bloom for a few short weeks, each flush of flowers appreciated and admired...

 

All Set For..

All set for a few hours walking along a new part of the bush today I was excited to see what the area was like, as I have said before the microsystems of the bush here are very diverse. And exploring new places means that I discover different plants insects' birds and marsupials. But something was making me feel uneasy, and it isn't often that I feel apprehensive out alone in the bush.

The ominous feeling got more intense the further I went along the path. The track was going deeper into one of the national parks and it is in quite an isolated part of the forest. The bushland quite dense and I couldn't hear anything, nor see any other people but the sensation to turn around wouldn't subside. 

Given that I rarely tell anyone where I am headed as mostly my choice of destination is spontaneous, I decided to heed the warning and turn around. All the while walking back to the car I felt very disquieted.

In this very brief walk, I was mostly interested in the amount of huge burnt trees that were left partly standing. I found them rather sculptural, all very unique. Perhaps I will return here another day and continue along the track to see what else lingers ahead...
