A Glen Turner Déjà vu“We’ve had threats of ‘If you come on my property, I’ll shoot you’. ‘If you try and come on my property, I’ll set my dog on you...Australian police are routinely escorting biosecurity officers onto private properties after they reported being threatened with dogs and guns.

Happy Weekend! Here's a pic of a Fortnight Lily (Dietes Iridioides) that popped up the other day, first time this beauty has flowered in our garden! Unfortunately their blossoms only last a few days, so I'm glad that I was able to take this shot capturing the drops of morning rain on the flower petals 🪷
