A few weeks ago I decided that it was time to get some more culture into my life, so I bought my first painting! Fresh back from framing today. 👌🏻

This is a traditional Aboriginal bush medicine leaves painting by Roseanne Morton in Western Australia. The moment I saw it I knew I had to get it! 🌏

I just love that even a thistle displays unbelievable complexity and beauty when observed closely. Also, that Fibonacci spiral! 🍃🌏

The bush stone-curlew. This has to be my favorite Australian bird. ☝️

Here’s something beautiful from birdlife.org.au - “Bush Stone-curlews have a remarkable courtship dance. Individuals stand with their wings outstretched, their tail upright and their neck stretched slightly forward. The birds will stamp their feet up and down, like a soldier marking time. This courtship ritual is repeated for an hour or more at a time and is accompanied by loud and constant calling. Eggs are laid in a shallow scrape in the ground and both adults share the incubation and care for the young.” •
How anyone doesn’t marvel at Nature’s beauty is beyond me. 🌏

Most problems don’t have solutions as simple as

Most problems don’t have solutions as simple as “yes” or “no,” “wrong” or “right,” “good” or “bad.” Problems and ideas are like trees. The trunk is the bulk of the information you do know, and most people are content to make up their minds based on this.
But to really understand a problem or idea you need to go down every branch, every twig, every leaf. That’s the stuff you can know which would greater clarify your position.
And then there are the roots - the stuff you couldn’t possibly know unless you do some serious digging.

This is a magnificent insect egg/cocoon that I found yesterdayon Mt. Beerwah. I think it’s unbelievable that this little creature has used full “logs” as walls for this capsule. If anyone knows what bug it is then I’d love to know! 🐛 🐜 •
