In the fictional world created by Terry Pratchett, the Discworld is held up by four giant elephants that in turn stand on top of the giant star turtle, as it travels through space. The fifth elephant is said to have crashed into the Discworld at the beginning of time, leaving a wealth of treasures. ThisContinue reading “The fifth elephant”

Looking down
On Saturday Lisa and I headed out for the morning, but that had been a town visit and as such did not satisfied my desire to be outdoors. Orchid season could be considered a little early, but regardless of that I headed to the Capel Nature Reserve later the same day. Before I got there,Continue reading “Looking down”
Time to come out
When given a challenge Howsie is always keen to give it a go. So after a lunchtime walk on Wednesday, with Josh and Mark, I sent him the following image. We were of course primarily orchid hunting and found a few, including the first Pink Fairy (Caladenia latifolia) and Slender Snail Orchid (Pterostylis crispula) sightingContinue reading “Time to come out”
Jewel in the crown
After a lazy start to the day I got itchy feet and convinced Lisa it would be nice to take the poodles out for a walk, or should I say sniff, round Manea Park. From the start I was not expecting to see much, and certainly not thinking that I would see enough to writeContinue reading “Jewel in the crown”
The fear factor
Having a degree of arachnophobia makes Lisa a little jumpy when she see’s things moving on the wall, and what with poor eyesight anything on the wall can look blobby and could be a spider. The other day this is what she found on the wall at the foot of the bed. The House CentipedeContinue reading “The fear factor”
Blurred vision
Today we almost had a guest appearance by one of the old crew, but sadly their Saturday morning became double booked. To climb or to help their mum by chopping firewood was an easy choice, and so the axe fell on Glen’s guest appearance. But he still remains “famous” for being the only one ofContinue reading “Blurred vision”
Down the road
We’ve moved office, all of 700m down the road from where we were before. This might seem a little odd but the old building was well, old. Things were falling apart, the technology was a bit dated, and the office design didn’t match the so called “modern style”. So in May of this year weContinue reading “Down the road”
Getting my fix
Of all the birds I see the one that seems to allow me to get the closest on a regular basis is the Grey Fantail (Rhipidura albiscapa preissi). Whether it was due to the slightly later start this morning or not, a variety of small birds were busily hopping about in the bushes but movedContinue reading “Getting my fix”
The danger of assuming
We came across the same hairy caterpillar, which I spotted at Bob Hollow a few weeks back, on the path into Wilyabrup. Sadly Howsie was not able to assist with identifying it, as I told him of my struggles the last time when I spent well over an hour trying to research it. That saidContinue reading “The danger of assuming”
Under the hood
With the second day of the weekend being glorious, it was a shame to waste it being inside all day so we went for a wander. The last couple of trips out with the poodles have been north to Manea Park in Bunbury, only 25km away but being just round the corner from the officeContinue reading “Under the hood”
