The splendid fairywren is a passerine bird in the Australasian wren family, Maluridae.

Exhibiting a high degree of sexual dimorphism, the male in breeding plumage is a small, long-tailed bird of predominantly bright blue and black colouration. pic.twitter.com/0xynvd3b8F

In theory, every rainbow is a circle, but from the ground, usually only its upper half can be seen. Things change when you’re flying or observing from an elevated vantage point

Already an clasic in many gardens the mesmerizing “Hocus-pocus“ rose.

His name comes from the fact that you will never get 2 flowers with the same pattern, so I like magic 🪄 pic.twitter.com/7U9hzOAQaJ

Durdle Door with the Northern lights

This may be my favourite photo I’ve ever taken! 😮

The flowers, the Milky Way, the Aurora Borealis and Durdle Door in the early hours of this morning, with the symmetry of the colours in the sky and the curve of the clifftop & beach

Its well worth going out and looking at the aurora australis tonight.

Prayer of the Woods

I’ve always known this poem as Prayer for the Tree, but the video calls it Prayer for the Woods.

Ye who pass by and would raise your hand

against me harken ere you harm me

I am the heat of your hearth on cold winter nights

The friendly shade screening you from the summer

Sun and my fruits are refreshing draughts

Quenching your thirst as you journey on.

I am the beam that holds your home, the board of

Your table, the bed on which you lie and the

Timber which builds your boat

I am the handle of your hoe the door of your

Homestead the wood of your cradle and the shell

Of your coffin

I am the bread of kindness and

The flower of beauty

Ye who pass by listen to my prayer

“Harm me not”
