It’s a very different Little Pier Bench tonight. New Years Eve. There’s a beautiful sunset happening, and very soon there will be fireworks. We’re going to sit out here on the pier. It’s very crowded on the shore. It’s not as crowded on the pier because it’s windier out here.

Day 311 – Big Old Tree Bench
I’d been wondering why the whale’s tail tree looked different. I realised it’s because a tree trunk got wrapped around and stuck in it during the flood. There’s also a Chestnut Teal duck hanging out here today. They really are beautiful birds.
Day 310 – Big Old Tree Bench
The Wrens are here. The acacia trees have just dropped their seeds. The whole path is covered with these little red seeds. They almost looks like eyes, or some type of jewellery stones. There’s some seed pods still in the trees, I’ll put in a photo of those too.
Day 309 – Lal Lal Bench
It’s a beautiful summer day out in the fields. Today, there are a million butterflies everywhere. I’ve taken many photos trying to catch them. They’re difficult to catch. There’s white ones and orange ones, and dragonflies too. I also saw what I think might be the European Goldfinch. I have to go look it up. […]
Day 308 – Northern Bench
The Corellas! The Corellas are very active at this time of year. The river is full of their feathers, the trees have twigs and leaves thrown down out of them, gum nuts too. They’re everywhere.
Day 307 – Grandma’s Backyard Bench
We’ve had so much fun this Christmas. Just eating food and playing games and having lots of laughs. I’ve stepped outside to take a break in the backyard. It’s sunset and the light is so beautiful.
Day 306 – Grandma’s Backyard Bench
There’s so many birds around. In a grevillea down the street this morning, Mum and I saw some Musk Lorikeets and Purple Crowned Lorikeets. They are uncommon nomads and they were all flying together in a big flock. It’s pretty exciting when you see two new birds at once. It was a great way to […]
Day 305 – Front Deck Bench
One of my plants that I love, are these incredibly yellow lilies. Their leaves are so beautiful too, with the small white flecks. Every year, they spring up in a large clump right outside my bedroom window. It always feels like a huge bouquet of flowers just for me. They are just starting out for […]
Day 304 – Grandma’s Backyard Bench
I’m out in my mother’s backyard. It’s the most beautiful morning. Mum has her Christmas decorations up. It feels so festive.
Day 303 – Oval Bench
The Corella flock is over near the oval. I don’t have much to say today. Maybe it’s because there was so many exciting benching opportunities while we were on holidays, and now, it’s just back to the every day. I’ve been wondering about what to take a picture of and I think I’ve found it. […]
