Through the looking glass. Moth face. #invertebrate

Captured this little moth to put it outside. Looking back at me with big black eyes, feathery feelers and spindly legs. Delicate mauve tint to the underside of the wings and a fringe to the base of the wings.

There are still Autumn leaves on the Liquid Amber in July. My mulberry tree has new baby leaves unfurling. Wattle is blooming. #Sprinter #Seasons 🌿

#SilentFireworks

Fireworks
explode like magnified gunfire in the exquisitely sensitive ears of all creatures.

Bees become so disoriented they don't go back to their hives

Birds have panic attacks at night, causing mass deaths

Wild animals raising babies abandon their dens in fear

Fish & other animals perish after ingesting firework debris

Companion animals have anxiety & panic attacks

Humans have PTSD

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Rotund, birds looking rather plump, the Alt theme is #BlueSkies, birds were you can see Blue Skies. Butcher Bird #birds 🪶 #AusSky

Rounded view of a black and white bird, head tucked in and beady eye fixed on yours truly.

Inspired work of Jill Rakich was on display around the venue. Hyperbolic crochet. Best use of a crab pot ring. #crochetconvention2026 #FibreArt #yarn #crochet 🧶

Cream cotton yarn worked in spirals that overlap and create depth of light and shadow on a circular ring.

First Workshop done. I made a dodgy acid-green sock with fabulous instruction from the excellent Jane Horton. #RetroNanna #roadtrip #crochetconvention2026 #FibreArt #crochet #yarn 🧶

Displayed on the handout for Understanding Crochet Socks is, indeed, said sock. Top down construction in green yarn. It has a ribbed top, heel and cinched toe. Fit for a grinch or a xmas stocking for Precious. Dodgy as part of it is inside out, missed a turn 😣

Rocks. Ocean. Osprey. Many birders poised with massive lenses awaited takeoff. #birds 🪶 #AusSky #roadtrip #crochetconvention2026

An Osprey sat on a rock above the pounding waves below the lighthouse. Best i could do with my phone Camera.

Home from a road trip. 2035km covered. I didn’t drive tired but I think my phone did. #travel #CrochetConvention2026 #AusSky

Spacey echoes of my dashboard readout. Moved too soon recording my day trip km.

#BirdOfTheDay theme and it’s #YourChoice any bird capture. No alt. Love my maggies #bird 🪶

Floofy pose from this magpie, keeping one eye on me.

Follow your curiosity. #birds 🪶 #photography

An inquisitive look from this dapper magpie. Perched on the stair rail with some lovely muted greens plus reds and oranges from a croton in the background.

And it is spot on. “Ignoring this bullshit would be the healthy choice” #HolidayVibe
