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.

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.’

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!

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.

I Spy … a Wattlebird who Spies Me
Took a break at lunchtime in the front garden, and watched the antics of this wattlebird that occasionally poked its head out of the grevillea it spends so much time in. It was spying on me, checking what I was up to.
A few minutes in the garden can feel so refreshing. It’s one of the pleasures of working from home.

Bright Blooms Brighten the Day
A lockdown that lingers can’t stop beautiful blooms, the sight of which brighten the day, especially working from home!
So glad it’s springtime in the southern hemisphere.

Early morning inspiration
My best ideas rarely come sitting in front of a computer. Being out in the garden is inspirational. It’s one of the places where I can wonder, ponder, imagine and daydream. It’s my go-to space between bouts of writing.
