Bush Amber's colour is due to the use of caramel malt during the production process. Its bitter sweet taste provides it with firmness and personality. What's more, it helps digestion.

The Bush Stone-curlew (Burhinus grallarius) is a large, ground-dwelling bird of extraordinary grace and beauty. It is endemic to Australia and nearby islands. It was formerly known as the Bush Thick-knee.
Although the Bush Stone-curlew looks rather like a wader and is related to the oystercatchers, avocets and plovers, it is a dry-land predator: essentially a winged terrestrial carnivore.
Like most stone-curlews, it is mainly nocturnal and specialises in hunting small grassland animals: frogs, spiders, insects, molluscs, crustaceans, snakes, lizards and small mammals are all taken, mostly gleaned or probed from soft soil or rotting wood; also a few seeds or tubers, particularly in drought years. Birds usually forage individually or in pairs over a large home range, particularly on moonlit nights.
When disturbed, they freeze motionless, often in odd-looking postures. For visual predators like raptors (and humans), this works well, but it serves little purpose with introduced feral animals that hunt by scent: notably foxes.
Despite their ungainly appearance and habit of freezing motionless, they are sure-footed, fast and agile on the ground, and although they seldom fly during daylight hours, they are far from clumsy in the air; flight is rapid and direct on long, broad wings.
Bush Stone-curlews remain reasonably common in the north of Australia, but have become rare in the more fertle south, particularly in Victoria where they are endangered.
In southwest Victoria, the Bush Stone-curlew is recorded from West Wimmera Shire, Hindmarsh Shire, Yarriambiack Shire and Horsham Rural City.
Most experts believe that fox predation is a prime factor in their decline, however there are areas where foxes are common yet the Bush Stone-curlew population remains healthy, so consideranble uncertainty remains. Large-scale habitat destruction and fragmentation has undoubtedly been important. bird.net.au/bird/index.php?title=Bush_Stone-curlew

Strawberry Bush / Hearts-a-Bursting (Euonymus americanus). Bittersweet or Staff Tree family (Celastraceae) Bankhead 4/29/2006
Fruit: Cane Creek Canyon Nature Preserve, AL 9/2/2006.
The bark and fruit are considered poisonous and have a very powerful laxative effect. A tea made from the bark has been used as a laxative, diuretic and expectorant but cetrtainly is not recommended. Reportedly, Native Americans used a root tea to treat some gastro-intestinal problems. The laxative effect is so potent that dehydration and death are possible outcomes from ingesting the bark or fruit.
There were so many holly bushes in the Burnham Beeches woodland it was filled with a vibrant buzz of red everywhere you looked. Everywhere step I took, I was placing my feet on a thick cushioned layer of leaves that have fell to the ground.
So anyway - enough of the rambling, here's a holiday-inspired photo for you to feast your eyes upon!

The African Bush Elephant or African Savanna Elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the larger of the two species of African elephant. Both it and the African Forest Elephant have usually been classified as a single species, known simply as the African Elephant. Some authorities still consider the currently available evidence insufficient for splitting the African Elephant into two species. It is also known as the Bush Elephant.
African Bush Elephants are herbivorous. Their diet varies according to their habitat; elephants living in forests, partial deserts, and grasslands all eat different proportions of herbs and tree or shrubbery leaves. Elephants inhabiting the shores of Lake Kariba have been recorded eating underwater plant life.[6] In order to break down the plants they consume, the African Bush Elephant has four large molars, two in each mandible of the jaw. Each of these molars is 10 cm wide and 30 cm long. Over time, these molars are worn away and new ones are grown to replace them as the elephant ages. Around the age of 15 their milk teeth are replaced by new ones that last until the age of 30, and then by another set which wear off past the age of 40, being replaced by the last set of teeth that last approximately until the age of 65–70. Not much later, the animal dies of starvation from not being able to feed correctly. There are known cases of over 80 year old specimens in captivity.
These animals typically ingest an average of 225 kg of vegetable matter daily, which is defecated without being fully digested. That, combined with the long distances that they can cover daily in search of more food, contributes notably to the dispersion of many plant seeds that germinate in the middle of a nutrient-filled feces mound. Elephants rip apart all kind of plants, and knock down trees with the tusks if they are not able to reach the tree leaves. In some national parks there is overpopulation, so that managers of overpopulated parks often contact other parks with fewer specimens to transfer excess individuals.
Elephants also drink great quantities of water, over 190 liters per day.

They appear to have given Bush, a steely, determined look - more in line with his War President persona. I can only imagine that history will place him alongside Nixon, from the similarities in politics, as well as popularity.
No idea what happened here, looks like someone rolled their Lexus into the bushes. I counted at least 7 police units on scene, but no emergency/fire. Glad they missed hitting pedestrians (since we quite frequently walk past this exact corner), but I still have no clue how you would end up in that particular location with a car (speeding/phone/stupidity?!)
