There’s a first time for everything.
A harvest of pears!
Whoever said I couldn’t do it, well, what can I say…

Another day done.

I hope everyone has done, or not done, whatever they damn well wanted to on this national day of whatever.

Whatever, it’s done. But do that again tomorrow, too.

A photograph of the post-sunset sky. Trees edging the picture appear almost black in this light, and the clouds are rapidly darkening from orange to grey as daylight recedes.

Setting sun tonight. Nice clouds, and an Air New Zealand flight from Auckland to Perth is making its way west.

A chill corella (I’m pretty sure), hung around in the dappled shade of the she-oak to pose for a close-up.

Bike. Cannon. Octagonal structure. Lake.
#nofilter
A photograph of a bike parked on a paved surface in front of an old cannon. In the middle distance is an old pagoda/rotunda, and in the background lies a freshwater lake. The grassed area beyond the cannon to the shoreline hosts several old exotic trees.

This double-headed Bird of Paradise flower has become an annually recurring mutation in my garden.

“Hey, human, what are you looking at?”
#kangaroo
A male kangaroo watches me with interest while snapping some pictures of him and his mob of eastern grey kangaroos. He looks like he might want to come over to me and enquire as to the purpose of my visit to his territory.

This opium poppy is sullying the otherwise good reputation of my backyard.

This guy.
Just lounging there, 24/7.
Seemingly unemployed; maybe writes some poetry occasionally, or, allegedly once did, whilst alive. But now he’s dead, hence the statue.

.. and then, as though there was nothing anyone could do to stop it, it was set.

The sun is now gone for another day, only some clouds and reflected orange light remain, and darkness is descending…

#sunset #nofilter
The sun is very low in the sky, almost completely below the horizon, the sky is various shades of a quite intense orange colour and some light low clouds provide a horizontal striping pattern and some contrast to the last rays of daylight.

Late for sunset tonight, so I guess this is twilight. Venus is bright.

Part of the blue sky as viewed from my backyard.

Dramatic high cold cloud.

I may have mentioned that I like #clouds.

Today I asked AI for a post-impressionist image representing hope & vibrant growth - an artificial good omen for gardeners, if you will.

I got green sprouts & a pile of dirt & a hypercolour version of Van Gogh’s Starry Night.

That’s fine by me. 4/5 ⭐️

Happy gardening!

Today I asked AI for toads and anthropomorphic toadstools at a rave party drinking cocktails.

I got cocktails, frogs instead of toads and not much of a rave.

I’m not angry, just disappointed.

An AI generated image of some cute little frogs at a party with cupcakes, cocktails, green confetti, and sparklers. For some reason the frogs all have what look like red cherries on their heads…

Ortofon blue headshell and 2M Blue cartridge on my vintage Pioneer PL-514X turntable.
The red platter mat makes this translucent yellow LP look like orange jelly.
