Look To This Day
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence.
The bliss of growth,
The glory of action,
The splendour of achievement
Are but experiences of time.
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision;
And today well-lived, makes
Yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day;
Such is the salutation to the ever-new dawn!

The camera is in my hands again.
After a few weeks spent in the medical rehabilitation center and the spa, I am home again, but soon I will have to go back to the spa again and so on until Christmas. I exercise hard and if I continue like this in the spring I will be able to run.
I apologize to everyone who wished me a speedy recovery because I didn't thank you right away. Thank you very, very much my friends and I wish you all the best especially good health.
Great fun trying to catch them between leaves, quick and shy. If they come back tomorrow you could be looking at Zosterops lateralis ad nauseam.
This morning there have been almost zero birds in the garden. Did they go elsewhere as I was slow giving them first breakfast? Just back from a haircut and saw the culprit! Lurking with intent!
The "bats" or grey-headed flying foxes of Wollongong.
Every night there is a river of flying foxes leaving their roosting trees setting off to forage for food. Quite often we hear one in our back yard. Their favourite trees to roost in are casuarinas. This location is about 1 km (as the bat flies) from our house.

I is interesting to study how they wrap themselves up in their wings.
No invites or comments please, I promised a friend I will post this,
I just want to sweeten your day or night:-)
I cut this Today at our stores side garden, we have two trees that
are loaded with figs and they are dripping with honey,
I collected about 30 of them and the best way to eat them is with the skin,
Delicious!

This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “patterns in nature” was chosen by Cheryl, Cheryl - Vickypoint.
My first thought when the theme was announced was how fortunate that I had been in my garden only days before. Taking advantage of the sunny and unseasonably warm autumnal day in my rear garden I had been photographing the leaves of various plants basking in the sunlight. Their patterns were so eye catching.
In this collage, the shot on the left is of a fig leaf from my neighbour’s overhanging tree. The pattern reminds me of an aerial view of a suburban estate with major arterial roads off which come feeder streets from which expands the maze of courts, closes and boulevards that make up the designs of modern housing estate design. The shot on the right shows the beautiful stripes of an aspidistra that used to live in our entrance hall in a jardiniere, but became a bit too large for it.

"There are always things I find difficult - being in crowds, remembering faces. I do like routines. I always travel with someone. My life in Avignon is a very quiet one. I have an apartment that looks over the whole city. I can drop into town, but a lot of the time I write from home. In some respects I still live a very quiet, simple life."
Due to our fierce heat wave, the figs are not as plump and rich as in past years. Most are stunted and dried out. I did bring four figs inside. Not a vintage year...(:-(
I planted this beautiful fig tree in a large flowerpot about 16 years ago. I no longer remember if it 's a Mission Fig or a Brown Turkey Fig tree... Can anyone tell the difference?
I am in Tucson, Arizona, Southwestern US, North America.

Found this in Étampes one year, but it never got uploaded to Flickr.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :)
Pteropus poliocephalus, also know as 'Fruit bats' because of their taste for fruit. They are one of the largest bats in Australia with a wingspan of over 1 m.

New leaves on the fig tree !?

تفرد اولباريكوي بحكم زمرة ابيه جيسي وعمه فرانك بعد رحيل الأول وموت الثاني ، وبعد مقتل اخيه اولوبي على يد اولوبور
واخيه اولوشيبا اوآخر ابريل الماضي ، تعرف زمرته باسم ب (فيق تري برايد ) اي زمرة اشجار التين ، يدعى هذا الأسد أيضاً بأسم جيسي الثاني ، على اسم ابيه
يظهر لي انه قوي البنية وكذلك اللبؤات اراهم قويات يخفن الضباع وحولهم الأشبال متفاوتي الأعمار ، وفي هذه الصورة لديه لبوتان يظهرن الغيرة ولا يبدو عليهن الارتياح وهو كذلك يظهر الغضب احياناً

In the Okanagan Valley in BC, Canada it gets too cold to over winter figs without some protection. I read that you can bury them in the fall and stand them back up in the spring and they will do fine so that's what I have been doing for the last five years and it's working well.
This flowerpecker sticks to the forest canopy and is hard to find. Every two years this small figtree has fruit in May and the flowerpeckers cannot resist.

The Giant Curtain Fig Tree is a heritage listed tree and a must see for anyone who visits the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland.
It is spectacular with the extensive aerial roots, that drop 15 metres to the forest floor, forming a ‘curtain’. "Starting from a seed dropped high in the canopy, this strangler fig grew vertical roots, which gradually became thicker and interwoven. Over hundreds of years these roots have strangled the host causing it to fall into a neighbouring tree-a stage unique to the development of this fig".
The tree is thought to be nearly 50 metres tall, with a trunk circumference of 39 metres, and is estimated to be over 500 years old.
I stood in front of this tree on our honeymoon, 37 years ago so was keen to revisit.
