This is the SS Rustbucket. A metal hulled boat abandoned early in 2020 on Coochiemudlo Island in Moreton Bay, greater Brisbane. (Redlands). Salvagers can make quite a good return removing these vessels officially once determined to be abandoned. There is even an Aussie TV show that features their work.
This plants in the lake have been thriving in the last few years, due to increasing water levels in the lake.
Yesterday was spent tilling up soil at the workplace for a new vegetable garden. I've been trying several years to grow veggies at home but been unsuccessful for a host of reasons. This year I had the bright idea of starting a veggie garden in a big field at work and for some reason the boss agreed with me.
Sadly, I wasn't very helpful with the tilling, just pulling some of the big rocks out of the way. The deeper we dug, the more rocks we found. My boss and Chris did most of the work. The boss' wife and I kept the kids entertained :-) Now, we are planning what to plant. I can't wait to get seeds started and put some starts in the ground! If we grow half of what we have in mind we'll be all set! Of course we're overplanning at this point. I just have to be sure and get edamame and spinach going because for all Chris' hard work he deserves something (and those are the only veggies he really eats!).
So *YAY* For work coop garden. I am sure you'll be hearing more about it soon :-)
At a protest in support of Ukraine, in London.
The first time I heard this phrase - or a starker version of it - was when an elderly Ukrainian woman confronted a Russian soldier and told him to put sunflower seeds in his pockets, so that flowers would grow from his dead body. A chillingly simple message.

One of the three photos I took for "Grow." The project was to have a plant, the word grow, and that quote. This one's my favorite of the three :)

"Explore" front page! yes! Thank you everyone! :)
Fun Fact: The "dirt" is a brownie. I just grabbed the closest thing to support the plant. I wasn't planning on having it visible in this shot!
Not sure of the name of this. Growing in the gap between the concrete and the metal drainage grid at the bottom of our drive.
If this little beggar gets in the lawn it spreads like wildfire.
I’ve been cut down and I choose to keep growing. One tiny little leaf at a time. It doesn’t look like much but it’s incredibly hard and rewarding work.

The Green Honey-creeper is the largest Honey-creeper in Costa Rica, but this Juvenile male was easily intimidated by some other smaller birds. HE will transition in a more beautiful shade of green and as an adult will not be intimidated that easily.
Honey-creepers are smallest members of the Tanager family found in the canopy and there reliance on nectar makes them easy to photograph.
The Palouse shows off it's various colors with the growing green of the winter wheat mixed with the contrast of the brown fields awaiting planting.

Vougeot in Burgundy is just north of Nuits Saint Georges.
The bats wing fern is a remarkably adaptable plant. It likes moist situations, and can be found in a large variety of habitats. It can dominate an area, forming a large colony.
I've seen it grow on the cool temperate rainforests, over 1000 metres above sea level, underneath Antarctic Beech trees in full shade. Also, it's common on the sub tropical Lord Howe Island at sea level in full sun. It's a common plant here in Sydney.
At this carpark at the suburb of Greenwich. These south facing sandstone cliffs are a haven for ferns. Todea barbara is common here. There's a large variety of ferns, including some quite surprising species. Lycopodiella cernua, Psilotum nudum and Tmesipteris truncata, just to name three.
Congratulations to the local council and the bush care people, this site is in good shape regarding weeds. One weed is too many, but it's looking good all the same.
If I turned the camera the other way, there would be a great picture. Of Sydney city and the Sydney Harbour bridge.
