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!

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.

Glorious Gumnut Brightens the Day
How wonderful to step outside the front door and see the eucaplyptus silver princess in bold, bright bloom. No wonder the bees are attracted to it. And they are not the only ones. Even my little neighbours, aged 18 months and three, wonder at its beauty — the way the umbels pop their tops, and the blooms splay out.
This glorious gumnut brightens the day.

A walk in the park is good for the soul
It’s amazing how lockdown can bring a greater level of appreciation of the world around us. Being out in nature is so good for the soul.
A walk in the park (we are allowed out to exercise) reveals nature’s sights and sounds, none more enticing than the sulphur-crested cockatoos. They are a delight to listen to and watch.
I could spend hours watching their antics and the group dynamics. This one, on the hop, caught my eye.

Appreciating the little things in life
What are you appreciating today? (Feel free to let me know.)
When times are tricky, it pays to really appreciate the little things in life: a phone call from a friend, a walk in nature, or even a bee buzzing around a blooming grevillea in the garden.
