It’s an overcast, rainy day. It’s very humid. The cascades were gushing. I’ve come back to where the Bench used to be. Where there’s now just two holes in the ground. I saw a new bird. I think it was a black faced cuckoo-shrike. I’m going to have to go home and look it up. […]

Day 241 – Blue Wren Bench
It’s gone. The Blue Wren Bench is simply gone. There’s two big holes left in the ground where it was. I can’t believe it. The flood took the whole thing. I’ve looked downstream on the banks for quite a distance and I can’t see it anywhere. This side of the river has been so much […]
Day 235 – Blue Wren Bench (flooded)
This is amazing. I didn’t come down to this end of the river last year when it flooded, so I haven’t seen it like this. The flood looks even more amazing at this end because the river is narrower up here. When the river burst its banks, it just completely spread. I can’t get anywhere […]
Day 223 – Blue Wren Bench
I had a big, busy day today. I don’t even know what I feel as I sit here today. I’m not happy, not sad. It’s just really nice to be sitting somewhere that is quiet and peaceful where I can let it all settle.
Day 221 – Blue Wren Bench
The other day, I sat on this Bench, and I took a photo of the bright green, fresh leaves instead of the dead shrub with the shriveled up brown leaves. I so wanted to be like the fresh leaves. I didn’t want to feel or be like the dead bush. Then today, I sat down […]
Day 218 – Blue Wren Bench
I’m on Blue Wren Bench. It’s a beautiful sunny day. Today’s a bit of a landmark day for me because I’ve decided to put my name, a photo and a bio on this blog. I’ve always been really quite a shy person. I like to keep a low profile on social media in general. I […]
Day 216 – Blue Wren Bench
It’s a tough day on the Bench today. I feel so negative. I feel so hopeless. I feel so angry. I wish my body was healthy. I’m sick and tired of it not being. I couldn’t decide what to take a picture of. I thought about taking a picture of one of these shrubs that […]
Day 209 – Blue Wren Bench
This always has been one of my favourite Benches. There is just such a gentleness here, a peacefulness, a softness and a sweetness. Today, I was sitting here quietly and a mother duck was swimming down the river leading her little ducklings. They are the first baby ducks I have seen this spring. Unfortunately, as […]
Day 205 – Blue Wren Bench
I haven’t been to Blue Wren Bench in a while because the river was too high at the bridge. Today, it’s just as peaceful as ever though. The photo is of the old dead tree beside the Bench which has a bee’s nest in the hollow near the top. I always see bees coming and […]
Day 188 – Blue Wren Bench
When I got to the Bench today, it was covered in these amazing, tiny gum nuts. They almost look like some kind of exotic spice. I’ve sat here for a long time on the Bench today. I’ve known for many years that I carry so much guilt. I feel guilty for things that rationally, I […]
