Lace Monitor

Look who dropped in and took a stroll through the back yard this morning. Big fella. Impressive.

Little birds...again

The other day I noticed some little finches jumping around in the grass. It needs mowing and so they were sometimes hard to pick out. I was surprised when I looked closer to see that there were two species: the red-browed firetails and the double barred finches, all hanging out together. Exquisite little things. Some picks:

Art on the Edge

As I last mentioned, I spent the weekend up at Cedar Creek Retreat, enjoying a fantastic weekend with a dozen or so fellow weirdos looking at how we can grow our arts businesses. Awesome place (see some of the pics below), awesome food, awesome people. Thanks again, Michael and Ludmilla; and Amy and MBRC for the opportunity. The consequences will be significant and you will start to see some of the effects here and other places online. Watch this space!

Cultivating Creativity

This weekend I am off to Cedar Creek to participate in Moreton Bay Council's Cultivate the Arts program. I am really looking forward to it, and hopefully it will be beneficial. A weekend of nature, art and a bit of navel gazing, never hurt anyone! Thanks to MBRC for the opportunity!

Blinky

Yesterday when I got home I was beckoned by the dulcet tones of this little chap over the back fence. It took me a few minutes to find him, but eventually he was discovered high up in a tree probably 30 metres from the house. Don't see them often, but it is good to know they are here.
