Gotta love the way the iPhone struggles against its preprogrammed resistance to ever getting the moon in focus…

Rains in the region have brought out the wildflowers, like this display of parakeelya near Ooldea. This succulent is a traditional food source for Aṉangu – the leaves, roots and stems are steamed before eating, while the leaves can be eaten raw as a water source.

Dropped in to see Toby.

Love Toby! 😀

So sorry, Phillip. Sadly, it was the top news story here in Sydney after the continuing-mad-confusing story about the Straits.💜

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries & your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life

Close-up and front on with a large lumpy sea hare. A beautiful, silly, derpy kinda face, looking a bit bewildered by the strange biped peering at it adoringly. Lower half of the image contains swatches of the slug's colour palette, browns and beige, through to a bright lime green

Meet Doli. Dolabrifera. Look at that face! 😍

One of my first ever Sydney tidepool trips, I was busy looking for tiny nudis on shallow rocks, without realising like a herd of these slug-cows were RIGHT NEXT to me, incredibly well camouflaged.

Galahs are cockatoos found all over Australia, except in areas of dense forest. They're not keen on bathing in standing water, usually conditioning their feathers with fine, white, talcum-like powder from specialized feathers, but they really enjoy taking a shower! #birds #birdwatching #WildOz

The University of Technology in Sydney is poised to close community radio station 2SER-FM. Here's my opinion piece in the Sydney Morning Herald, arguing that it would be pure folly to do so.

In May 1889, van Gogh, suffering from severe depression, voluntarily checked himself into the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole psychiatric hospital at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. He remained there for one year. His doctor realized that painting landscapes tended to soothe Vincent and so he gave permission for the patient to paint outside. The gardens and grounds around Saint-Rémy proved to be excellent subject matters. “The Large Plane Trees” again reveals van Gogh’s admiration for laborers – here he paints the road workers with dignity and strength. But it is these gorgeous, tall, plane trees with their autumn leaves a-flame that steal the show for me. Van Gogh painted a second version of this identical scene; that second painting is now in the Phillips Collection in Washington DC.

#OTD in 1452 Leonardo da Vinci was born. On the 15th of April 1452. What a genius! He was not only a polymath, scientist, painter, ingeneer, sculptor and inventor. He didn't eat animals and his own writings indicate profound compassion for animal life. 💖
