A very nice tree (Angophora costata I think) on our walk through the Loftus creek fire trail. Perhaps there was once another tree limb or trunk here that it grew around? I love how these trees have bark that wrinkles and folds like skin.

Highlights from the Agnes Banks reserve, shoutout to the last remaining peaflower (and bee bum) and the tiny spider on the persoonia flower.

Hailey Bailey Pinna shawl completd in Noro "silk garden sock solo" colour S4 with a size 4 crochet hook and additional chain between each pinnule (eg instead of ch10, I did ch11). Came out so well! I was worried because this yarn is slubby and uneven, but the blocking really helps.

I finally did it. That last pinnule took foreeeeeever. Weaving ends and blocking tomorrow. I am just happy it is donee. Should help the twisting a bit.

Hailey Bailey Pinna scarf about 50ish percent of the way through. I am hoping to finish it tomorrow but I am on pinna 18 of 26 and they just keep getting longer. Might be wishful thinking. Looking forward to wearing it when it is done though :)

To your fields of bluebells, I raise you fields of fan flowers (Scaevola sp.) in stunning purples. Taken in Nelsons bay, NSW.

@racura.bsky.social can you confirm? :p

In the Spirit of being just as awkward and non-linear online as offline, here is my favourite photo I took in Tasmania last week.

A pair of chameleon grasshoppers (Kusciuscola tristis) for my uncle. Home to the "Australian Alps", in cold weather, these male beauties can be almost black. As the weather warms, they become lighter until they are bright turquoise. Watercolour and pencil on hotpress paper. The frame is thrifted.
