On my ordinary walk yesterday in #Epping3076

Wait for it…

@byteseu Rubbish trucks were out on this “sacred” day? Not in my suburb. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #Epping3076

It rained here last night. Look what popped up. #fungi #Epping3076 #mushrooms

This is my backyard tree, a dwarf corymbia (AKA a gum tree). It is the most intense orange colour, the bees love it, the parrots love - nectar - and I completely love it. 🧡 #Melbourne #Epping3076 #BloomScrolling

January is gum-tree-blooming time here. One street tree, buzzing with bees (that aren’t really visible here). #Melbourne #Epping3076 #BloomScrolling #corymbia

My roses are loving this summer’s weather. #Melbourne #Epping3076 #BloomScrolling

It’s been so moist and muggy in Melbourne that some fungi are having another season. Look at these cuties from this morning… #fungi #Epping3076 #FungiFriday #mushrooms #mycology #fungus

With our weather being less and less usual or predictable, my suburban corymbia didn’t flower last year. VERY DISAPPOINTMENT! So I’m thrilled with these buds this summer. Can hardly wait for the immanent blooming of brilliant orange. #Melbourne #Epping3076 #BackyardGarden

So pretty. #grasses #NativeGrasses #Epping3076

Clouds today. #Epping3076 #Melbourne

Admittedly crappy footage, but these 2 sweet parrots are enjoying a bath, and even accept the intermittent “shower” from the solar-powered fountain. #Epping3076 #Melbourne #BackyardBirds

On my walk this afternoon - yikes! Look, there are signs warning us that snakes live here. And it’s good to see the conservation area is actually, you know, conserving local wildlife. It was just a bit of a surprise. #Epping3076 #Melbourne

The king parrot is back! He’s just gorgeous. #Melbourne #BackyardBirds #Epping3076

Just a photo I took recently. #Epping3076 #Melbourne #clouds

Do you know what this is? This is an old New Holland honeyeater nest that I snuggled into a branch joint, and that is now being salvaged by this season’s New Holland honeyeaters for their current nest-building. Sustainable / renewable housing at its finest. #Epping3076 #Melbourne #NativeBirds

Out the side of the house. Who knew the smokebush would become a smoketree? #autumn #SmokeBush #AutumnLeaves #Epping3076

Load of laundry, 2km walk, meal in the slow-cooker, practised the bass, checked emails, dusted and vacuumed my bedroom, finished reading a library book that’s due back tomorrow, watered a few pot plants, will pick up my knitting this evening…is that enough for the day? #Melbourne #Epping3076

@danielbowen This is one reason why I want the Lalor spur line to Wollert to be built. It will get me and people like me off the roads so that those who have no choice can stay on less-congested roads.

BTW, we were told when I bought here in 2008 that that heavy rail line would probably be finished by 2015. Even though the land has been put aside for it, nothing has been planned / approved / started. #Epping3076 #Melbourne #PublicTransport #Whittlesea #FossilFuels #ClimateCrisis #SpringSt

Housemate’s gone for a couple of nights. I LOVE being alone! I already feel like I’ve had a 3-day holiday and he’s only been gone a day. #clouds #horizon #Epping3076

One of my Syrian friends at his citizenship ceremony yesterday. I gave him a small gift of a pack of Vita Weats, a pack of Tim Tams and a small jar of Vegemite and told him that he’s now allowed, nay obliged, to eat these foods. 😁 #Melbourne #Epping3076

Still harvesting! This is what I picked today. #apples #tomatoes #DandelionLeaves #DentsDeLion #Epping3076 #BackyardGardening #autumn #Melbourne

The other evening.

The decorative crab apple responding to the recent autumnal weather. It seems to actually glow. #AutumnLeaves #Melbourne #Epping3076

@NessaUndreza I have one in my backyard, same colour. I don’t think mine gets enough sun, though, since it doesn’t flower very often. They smell glorious on a hot day. (And I’m glad you got the name right - I grew up calling them datura.😬) #Epping3076

@joannaholman I use it regularly and I find it helpful for keeping my local area reported. (I’m so demoralised with the amount of rubbish around here that I recently thought about making a post with photos of some of what I walk past daily. So many times I share photos of flowers, stately trees, cute insects, etc. but that’s only some of the story. Snap Send Solve helps, but it’s my fellow citizens who make it necessary.) 🙁 #Epping3076
