Park life
The sunshine was so bright yesterday that I couldn’t see if I’d managed to capture this little critter. His shell was about the size of my smallest finger nail; impressive camouflage against the bark of the gum tree!
Earthbound sunshine
Long periods without rain and frequent lawn mowing are everyday challenges for this cheerful non-native in the nearby park.
I wonder if these dandelions have evolved into keeping their heads small and stems short?

Daisy, daisy
Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do.
I’m half crazy all for the love of you.
It won’t be a stylish marriage,
I can’t afford a carriage.
But you’ll look sweet,
Upon the seat,
Of a bicycle made for two.
Michael, Micheal, here is your answer true.
I’m not crazy all for the love of you.
There won’t be any marriage,
If you can’t afford a carriage.
‘Cause I’ll be switched,
If I get hitched,
On a bicycle built for two!”
“Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)” is a popular song, written in 1892 by Harry Dacre.

Hibiscus at dusk
Autumn sky
The weight on the World
Shaken off by looking up
