Well there it is. A full year of sitting on benches. I feel like I’ve gone the full circle like the leaf in yesterday’s picture. Today I loved this beautiful green grasshopper who is camouflaged in the photo. Sometimes it’s hard to put words to things that words don’t necessarily apply to. Which is why […]
Day 364 – By the Way Bench
It’s another perfect day at the By the Way Bench. I just love sitting here with all the birds and the clouds in the sky and the breeze in the trees. Today I think I saw a Golden Whistler. I have to go look it up to make sure because I haven’t seen one in […]
Day 363 – Northern Bench
I loved today. We went down to the beach for a surf earlier and it was beautiful. Now I’m sitting here on the Bench and there’s a gentle breeze in the trees and just a little patch of sun just on the Bench. It’s about to go behind a cloud though. I sat here today […]
Day 362 – By the Way Bench
I loved being here so much yesterday that I came back today. I didn’t bring my binoculars and I wish I did. I saw many birds. It’s just another wonderful day on the Bench
Day 361 – By the Way Bench
There’s a big flock of Red-rumped Parrots here. They’re picking through the grass, and there’s some whistling to each other in the trees. There’s also a Bronzewing pigeon that I don’t see here very often. There’s all kinds of little interesting birds. New Holland Honeyeaters. Some type of either Swallows or Tree Martins. The White-plumed […]
Day 360 – Addis Lookout Bench
It’s another perfect day for a swim. It’s so warm and gorgeous. There’s no waves today. I can’t wait to get in.
Day 359 – Pettavel Bench
There’s a warm breeze from the north. It’s forecast to be a very hot day. It’s not hot yet though. It’s quite nice. I haven’t seen too many birds today. It’s like they are preparing for it to be very hot.
Day 358 – Lal Lal Bench
I’m glad this Bench was one of the ones in the last week of doing this. It’s so peaceful. There’s so much space. I can see the horizon. I’ve never seen anyone else out here. I saw a Yellow-rumped Thornbill on the way here. I’m underneath a pine tree and, because it’s a windy day, […]
Day 357 – Private Bench
I don’t even know what to say tonight. It’s just the Corellas. There’s no ignoring them, they are everywhere. Today, I did see a Collared Sparrow-hawk in my backyard though. That was pretty cool.
Day 356 – Addis Lookout Bench
Had another wonderful day at the beach. Today we went snorkelling, and then went for a really long swim. We were body surfing in the waves.
