Probably the weirdest-looking bug I've ever found in our yard--beads on the stripy antennae, horse-like head--is that a horn? Just weird. Scudderia sp.
Year's of growth at a section in Prospect Pk which is called Rabbit Bush but the fuzz at the ends are a yellowish flower. It's a wind thing.

Wishes sometimes come true... eventually. I photographed this a year ago on the UW-Madison campus. At the time, the html tag stencil grafitti expressed a wish, one that was clearly widely shared. It's one of my most viewed, faved and commented photos, with more than 1,600 views. I'm uploading it once again to celebrate that it's not just a wish anymore.
I have three little bushes in front of my house. Two have pink flowers and this one has white flowers. Unfortunately, the flowers are at the bottom of the bush where you can barely see them. I don't know what they are and probably they should be pruned occasionally, but I'm not particularly happy with the landscaper who chose them.
The Bush stone-curlew lives on the ground and is mostly nocturnal. It is also called the Bush Thick-knee and is found all over Australia except in the most arid areas. It is unlikely to be mistaken for any other bird, with its long skinny legs and large yellow eyes with white eyebrows.
They have a distinctive call – a long drawn-out wail heard mainly at dusk or at night. If you didn’t know what it was, it could sound quite eerie. Most curlews form a breeding pair for life and they can live for up to 30 years, so it is quite the commitment.
Bush stone-curlews forage for their food on the ground amongst leaf litter and fallen branches and twigs. They feed at night and eat primarily insects but also seeds and small reptiles or rodents. They live in open forests and woodlands and the female lays her eggs on the ground – no nest required. She usually lays them in the shelter of a fallen log, thought to be a way of shielding them from foxes.
You will be very lucky if you ever witness their courtship behaviour. They stamp their feet with their wings outstretched, their tail upright and their neck stretched slightly forward while calling loudly. This can last for up to an hour and is repeated until a female shows some interest.
Their main threats are habitat loss from land clearing and feral predators such as foxes. Removal of fallen wood for firewood is also becoming a problem as the curlews use it for camouflage to avoid predators and it is home to the insects they eat. They rely on camouflage as their main defence and when threatened, will freeze or crouch down to avoid detection.
They are pretty hard to spot as their colouring blends in with the bush, especially at dusk and evening when they are most active and at the greatest threat from predators.
Their range has dramatically reduced and, once widespread, the Bush stone-curlew is now found only in isolated pockets in some states.

When it blooms mid summer ( July early August ) it will put forth tiny white flowers that will cover the head of the clover.

This is a tiny patch of woodland in the middle of farm lands. The surrounding bush is normal but this patch is al warped and crooked.

Part of my Urban Birding series.
One of the photographic pursuits I embarked on in 2024 was part of a series I called Urban Birding. I was interested in capturing images of birds as they interacted with our human environments. Usually, I would shy away from including human elements in my images, & I was keen to explore new opportunities with my bird photography.
One of my favourites from this series was this Bush Stone-curlew sitting at the headstone of a grave in the Cairns cemetery. I find old graves quite fascinating, a relic of the past, frozen in time in our ever changing & advancing environments.
Dozens of Bush Stone-curlew live amongst the headstones of the Cairns cemetery, blending in seamlessly with their statue-like stances during the day. This particular bird was sitting right below a headstone, providing me the opportunity to shoot wider & include several of the older headstones in the image.
As an aside, if you know the calls of Bush Stone-curlews, I do not recommend visiting the cemetery at night if you scare easily!

There was a colourful area with red, orange, and yellow bushes near the foot of the Athabasca Glaciers. We hiked up and loved the scenery!

‘Take away the love and the anger
And the little piece of hope holding us together
Looking for a moment that'll never happen
Living in the gap between past and future
Take away the stone and the timber
And a little piece of rope won't hold it together.
