#makesmehappy — Public Fediverse posts

A shallow creek running through the deep bush, in #Blackwood #Victoria #Australia on this fine Spring day.

Ferns and #gumtrees adorned this space for hundreds of square kilometres… thriving in their natural habitat.

Earlier, #kookaburras were heard ringing out amongst the tree tops.

Blue Wrens flitted throughout the trees.

And no other person was around, for miles.

This is kinda Heaven on Earth!

Sound up!!

It is a #ViburnumTinus, the laurustinus, laurustine or laurestine… sounds akin to a mouthwash huh (Oz audience will understand!)??

They’re in early bloom and there were half a dozen healthy looking specimens growing in this front yard in #Mckinnon #Austrlia, so I expect these to be in full bloom in the next week or so.

Delicate, small and pretty looking flowers. Just gorgeous.

🙌💖

Look what (or should I saw ‘who’) greeted me driving past a suburban home frontage in #StkildaEast #Australia, yesterday.

She is gorgeous… and her eyes are amazing. No artist signature… wish there was.

Amazing.

👏💖

Stumbled on this intriguing mural in #StkildaEast #Australia. It has a touch of graffiti at the base however the main feature… her face is untouched.

Perhaps its depicting that you and I are perceived by others, as pieces and parts of what they themselves, only associate with and know.

Or it could be that we ourselves over time, become our own person, and we incorporate aspects of outside influence and styles from what we observe in daily life.

Alternatively it could be a well thought out display of thought-provoking art designed to simply get us thinking!!

Anyhow, enjoy this visual display.

Let me know what you think it represents. Or means to you?

A classic orange Campsis grandiflora, aka the #Chinesetrumpetvine spotted in the back of a suburban alley way in #StkildaEast yesterday. #Australia.

It is a fast-growing creeper with large, orange, trumpet-shaped flowers. It can grow to a height of 10 meters apparently. A native of East Asia.

I think these flowers appear and die off relatively quick. Many were on their way out however there were new buds forming, ready to burst open!

Corymbia ficifolia is commonly known as the #redfloweringgum.

It is a species of small tree that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

This one was teeming with #bees and shining brightly in the evening sun during a catch-up coffee with a good friend in #StkildaEast #Australia.

We all scoffed lamingtons, which are a delight to eat on this #AustraliaDay.

Very #Australiana!
