A close-up macro photograph of a fern fiddlehead — a tightly coiled new frond unfurling. The spiral crozier is covered in fine brown hairs and contains clusters of tiny, not-yet-opened leaflets nested within the curl. Surrounding it are bright green, already-opened fern fronds with their characteristic feathery, serrated leaflets, set against a softly blurred grey-green background.

Looking for a snap with #new theme for today's #BlueSkyArtShow I came up with this new #fern from #Tasmania in 2023 - probably a lot of #Fibonacci going on here.

Two years ago to the day. Boat trip up the Gordon River. A favourite area to visit from my youth. Rich in history (and not disconnected from my long interest in green politics!).

Somewhere in the Du Cane Range, Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park. I have no real idea where it is because of the conditions that descended upon us.

Watched a small shark in the shallows today chasing bait fish. Tried to catch its fins, but missed ☹️ Would have been 2 feet give or take long. Our bay and channel is a shark and ray sanctuary with lots of both #Tasmania

'Made it very attractive': Free rides luring thousands more onto buses The temporary ability to catch public transport for free is turning some Tasmanians into "converts", while others are using it for new experiences.

Imagine how many more might be using it if the Northern Suburbs light rail had been built 15 years ago. #Tasmania

Reefs at risk as warming water sees sea urchins spread further Millions of destructive sea urchins are spreading from NSW into Victoria and Tasmania and the chair of a Senate inquiry says reefs are at risk unless there is decisive action.

Federal government criticised for response into spread of sea urchins

Warming water due to #climate_change is allowing sea urchins to spread south from #NSW and destroy reef ecosystems in #Victoria and #Tasmania

Hidden Island Cameras Capture Rare Tasmanian Species for the First Time Ever Researchers on a remote island off the Tasmanian coast captured photos that are helping shape conservation efforts of the future.

"The Truwana/Cape Barren Island camera project succeeded not only because of collaboration among conservation organizations, but also due to the deep involvement of the Indigenous local population, particularly the Truwana Rangers."

Granny Smith the scarecrow, Just-Tin the metal man, and the Fan-Tassie Tiger (whose name is supplied by an audience member: today it was "Lighbulb"!)

Munch the Tasmanian Devil, the Sand Witch (inspired by toadfish, bluebottles and cone shells), and the Lizard of Tas, the Mountain Dragon, himself!

Florin the Ferry Fairy, the Girl (who was called Dorothy today, by audience suggestion), and the two alternates for her dog (obviously based on my own whippets!)

Me and Lorin as Florin the Ferry Fairy, before a day of storytellings, face and arm paintings, wildlife trivia, music, and papercrafting pirate hats and Easter bilbys!

Some of the #drawings I did of characters from "The Lizard of Tas", my #performance piece onboard #SpiritofTasmania, one of whom is brought to beautiful life by brilliant face-painter Lorin! #fairy #storytelling #Tasmania #WizardofOz

Light snow between rocks.

Ok not a lot but that is April snow. Light and patchy drifts above 1300m lasted to Easter Sunday around the top of Mt Field in #Tasmania . Be much heavier snow later in the week.

That’s four months into 2026 and four months with snow 👍

Stunning day for hiking the upper parts of Mt Field in southern #Tasmania.

Pandani below Mt Mawson, Tarn Shelf, Glacial scrapes and plateau near #TheWatcher.
