๐ฆ Having fun sharing thoughts, memories, and creations. In Dharawal country, Australia, enjoying connecting with people of the world. I am a non-practising perfectionist with a job and too many hobbies. I like birds. #EastCoastKin

It was worth it! It is amazing.
A colourful collation of book covers and graphs. The piechart shows one digital novel, but they were all print and I can't figure out how to change it.

It is gorgeous!
Welcome to the club. Neat work and great colours.

Wooden posts painted green hold up the slatted roof of the fernery. The sun shines through the gaps in playful shadow.

The sun blazes down on water from a sprinkler arcing across the roof of a house. The neighbourhood trees and telecommunications tower are mottled from the confetti-like spray.
It is summer here! Water droplets from a sprinkler on a hot day ๐

Beautiful work, Sam.

A garden orb weaver spider seems to hover in the frame, her web invisible in the late afternoon light. Behind is a fan blowing on a chicken coop. It is a hot night.
A mysterious tableau as darkness descends on a hot summer night.

I love them!
A tall tree with long, straight branches radiating from the trunk. It is among other trees in a park. A park bench sits in the foreground.
A Bunya Pine situated in Cook Park, Orange NSW. Its imposing magnificence caught my eye. Native to Queensland, the trees are important to Aboriginal Australians.

Very impressive. My total for 2025: 23. I aim to lift my game this year.
A Whitefaced Heron with ruffled feathers stands on a pylon in lightly rippling brown water. Description continued... In the last couple of days of 2025 I saw some beautiful birds... I was lucky to be looking in the right direction to see an Azure Kingfisher perched briefly on a branch before flying off upstream. I managed to get the binoculars on a finch in a thicket of ferns by the same stream. It had distinctive black goggles and was a new bird for me... a Beautiful Firetail! I saw a group of Variegated Fairywrens in a favourite spot flitting about in the afternoon sunshine. The first time in several years I had seen them there.
Happy New Year! ๐ฆ ๐ฆโโฌ ๐ชถ

A colourful graphic of covers of the 23 books I read in 2025.
Happy New Year! ๐
I read 23 books of a target of 24 in 2025. I was short of time to go to the library and 6 were rereads of books from my bookshelf. I bought 3 new books.
This year I plan to read every day. My target is 30 books but I hope to read more.

Sun-dappled rainforest trees reach toward the sky. A tall tree covered in vines is in the centre. Green is the dominant colour.

A large silver Christmas tree is heavily decorated in red and green tinsel and an assortment of handmade, vintage and new ornaments. Lavishly wrapped empty shoe boxes sit under the tree to make the tree more "complete". A tabby cat sits in the foreground.
Merry Christmas!
Today is Boxing Day which is relaxing after the lead up to #Christmas and the day itself.
Merry Christmas!

Glorious!
A homemade ring cake dusted in icing sugar on a decorative pink plate. The sideboard behind has several ornaments including a vase made by my grandmother holding an assortment of odd knitting needles.
Its not the Cadbury Favourites, but I brought cake!
