#SpringInAustralia The Jacaranda tree is blossoming. The local bees are ecstatic!

Just glimpsed a cockroach on the vertical blinds in the glow of the TV. Easy 2.5 inches long. Then it flew at me and landed on my leg. My electric recliner takes wayyy too long to let me escape effectively. I may have pissed a little.

An Australian Magpie (black and white) flying above an outraged red wattle bird attacking it from below. Both birds are shown with wings spread wide

Zoomed in view of an Australian Magpie (black and white) clutching a baby bird while the parent attacks from underneath

Nature is not always pretty.

Spring in the Blue Mountains NSW.
Drawing in the garden today; attempting to fill the Spring pages of my perpetual journal.

I don't really know spring - 1

No matter what, the flowers always return in spring.
