Nature
Drone Flies
When we think of 'flies', the image that comes to mind are those annoying blow-flies that somehow manage to get into a slither of space in a window, bash themselves about your house, trying to find a way back outside, yet can't seem to find their way out of two open doors, and several open windows! We think of pesky, dirty things we swat away. Things that carry disease and land on dirty things. Things that bite!

Pears Falling
Colours flick past the window of the passenger side of my car. I'm soaking in snippets of nature, travelling back from the road as far as the eye can see. Vibrant yellow canola flowers against an indigo sky. Rolling hills in the distance dotted with cows and little trees. Luscious fruit ripening on vast orchards in the blaring sun. Nature puts on a display every time I take a road trip to fruit country.

She sleeps very little
When she is not sleeping, she is hiking, a perpetual motion machine. Her baby is approaching two years old but is still not weaned so hikes include the toddler, in tow. Likewise, she has a teenage son who joins these walks as do a couple of neighborhood female friends with their kids. An orphaned foster child that she took under her wing also joins the cadre on these strolls. There is safety in numbers. Hiking is a dangerous business in the 21st century. She is the wisest and most stoic thus despite no official nomination or election, she is the recognized leader of the peripatetic band, usually setting a brisk, but measured pace, permitting the younger of the troupe to keep up.

How Facebook marketplace is ruining the environment
The rise of Facebook's marketplace has led to an increse in adverts from inderviduals providing rubbish removal. Many of these are unlicenced and are therefore not operating legally. These illegal opperators will provide you with a cheap price and will off-load your rubbish in a rural area which then cost either the local council or the private land owners thouhsands per year to clean up.

A special sighting of something outdoors
Mountains travel long distances, by force along the road or by footpath in nature. The word "mountain climbing" is used in Britain when it comes to mountains, but the old word "mountain climbing" lacks "mountain climbing," a term used in northern England when referring to mountains. A fun walk made in Europe in the 18th century.

Gardening
Choosing the most beautiful flowers for your garden depends on the right plants for the growing conditions and the purpose of your beds. You need to buy plants that match the lighting conditions of the bed. The key to choosing the best flowers for your garden is knowing your website and your lights when shopping.

Thunderstorms
When I was a young girl, about 5 years old, I used to be scared of thunderstorms, lighting, mostly thunder and the boom a few minutes after you see the lightning. I would run and hide in a closet or under my blankets until the storm went away. I couldn't sleep during the storms, I was always afraid that the lightning would go on our house and start a fire. It is possible for that to happen.

Dragonfly & Salamander
I didn’t think I had anything to add to this community, as I am not a photographer, or an adventurer at this stage of my life. I like to dig gardens, plant flowers, and food, and connect with my surroundings. In this I have found joy in the simple things.
