It’s hard to beat nature for magical colour combinations. This eucalyptus silver princess showers us with rich reds and bright yellows. A treat for the senses. And a treat for the birds.
Bright, Bold Colour

Have you been enjoying nature today?
A walk on a windswept beach, a hike in the bush, a picnic by wetlands, or even a morning watching the antics of local birds. There are so many ways to go wild about the wild and enjoy nature. Have you been enjoying nature today?
‘Being a writer, I need a daily dose of nature,’ says Michele Gierck. ‘ I am so grateful for all the beautiful natural places we can explore, and how different they appear each day.’

Life is good when the ducks line up
How grand it is to take time out and relax by the river. Not that getting up at 5.30 am to go fishing felt terribly relaxing at the time. But watching the sun rise, and reflections appear in the river was one of life’s golden moments. And even the ducks lined up. Well, almost.
Inspiration, Awareness, Nature.

Turtle Time
An afternoon stroll in Noosa National Park. Looking out to sea we spotted … a turtle.
It’s so easy to love this place called Australia.

An iconic Australian scene
The wind had whipped up, the air was cool, the surf was smashing against rocks, and the kangaroos simply watched as we wandered by. It struck me as being an iconic Australian scene.
It was the perfect place to take some time out.

A Walk on the Beach is Good for the Soul
A beautiful natural beach, the sun’s golden rays, and soft sand. What more could we ask for? If there’s one positive from lockdown, it’s how appreciative we become when we are set free!

A Bright Visitor
We were sitting inside when this beautifully bright king parrot perched on the balcony and peered inside as if tempting us to join him/her — or at least to appear on the balcony with some seeds. And then, it just kept engaging with us.
We love going out into nature, but it’s great when nature comes to us.
A Place to Reflect
It’s great to find places that are conducive to reflection. It could be at the beach, the bush, or even in the backyard.
Many of my reflective places tend to be by water. There’s something about that element, and the way it reflects light, that draws me in, and takes me to a calm, quiet space.
Time for Reflection
Some places are so conducive to reflection that all you can do is stop and stare, taking it all in — the beauty, the quietness, and the sheer delight of being in nature, well away from crowds.

A little bird brightens the day
A colourful bird can brighten the day. And all it took was a moment to look out the window!
Nature really does keep giving…
All we need to do is pay attention.
