Unconfirmed Polydesmus angustus
Polydesmidae species are all fairly similar in appearance, and like a lot of invertebrates, it takes looking at the reproductive organs to actually be able to reliably identify the species.
Polydesmus angustus are seen to display an off white set of legs, so I am hoping that my identification is correct.
Spring cleaning in the garden, allowed us to uncover some real treasures.
Somebody take the pain away
It's like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
So send me to the pharmacy so I can lose my memory

Although I don't smoke in RL any more, I can have a cigarette in SL any time. It was a strange day today, with my mind clouded in smoke a little like this picture.
ver the past 3 years I have been meaning to visit this unique location in spring for its annual bloom of bluebells.
High winds and dotted skies made the entire shoot a gambling game, on the way to another spot I saw the clouds break momentarily and got one shot before the light disappeared. Goes to show having your equipment ready to go at all times pays off.

Restless Flycatcher
Scientific Name: Myiagra inquieta
Description: The Restless Flycatcher has a glossy blue-black head, with a small crest, and is white below, from the chin to the undertail, with a blue-black bill surrounded by bristles. The back, wings and tail are darker grey and there may be a slight orange brown tint on the breast. Young birds are duller grey black above, with the throat and breast washed orange-brown. The slightly smaller northern Australian sub-species,nana, known as the Paperbark Flycatcher, has a smaller bill and has the glossy blue-black colouring extending further down the back. The Restless Flycatcher is an extremely mobile and active bird and is able to hover while feeding, uttering a grinding call that gives it yet another common name: Scissors Grinder.
Similar species: The Restless Flycatcher is often found in the same habitats as the similarly sized and patterned Willie Wagtail. However, this species has a white eyebrow, and its black colouring extends down the throat and onto the upper breast; it also has a more rounded, fanned tail which it characteristically 'wags' and it lacks the Restless Flycatcher's head crest.
Distribution: The Restless Flycatcher is found throughout northern and eastern mainland Australia, as well as in south-western Australia. It is also found in Papua New Guinea. The southern subspecies, inquieta, is found in south-western Australia and from eastern South Australia to Julia Creek and Mount Isa, Queensland. The northern subspecies,nana, is found from the Kimberley region, Western Australia, to Cooktown and Townsville, Queensland. The two subspecies do not seem to mix where their ranges meet in central eastern Queensland.
Habitat: The Restless Flycatcher is found in open forests and woodlands and is frequently seen in farmland.
Seasonal movements: South-eastern populations move north during winter.
Feeding: The Restless Flycatcher feeds on insects, as well as other invertebrates such as spiders and centipedes and usually feeds alone or in pairs. It is able to hover, hanging almost vertically in the air with its head and spread tail pointing downwards as it picks insects off the leaves. It rarely comes to the ground, preferring to 'hawk' for insects from perches in the mid-level of the canopy.
Breeding: The Restless Flycatcher builds a small cup-shaped nest of bark and grass bound with spider web, camoflaged with pieces of lichen and bark, and placed in a exposed position on a tree branch, often near or over water. Males and females both help to build the nest, incubate the eggs and feed the young. Up to three broods may be raised in one season and the young disperse quickly after fledging.
Calls: Continuous whirring or rasping hisses when hovering.
Minimum Size: 16cm
Maximum Size: 21cm
Average size: 19cm
Average weight: 20g
Breeding season: July to January in south; August to March in north
Clutch Size: 3 to 4
Incubation: 14 days
Nestling Period: 14 days

Nothing to do but scuff down
the graveyard road behind the playground,
past the name-stones lined up in rows
beneath their guardian pines,
on out into the long, low waves of plains
that dissolved time. We'd angle off
from fence and telephone line, through
ribbon-grass that closed behind as though
we'd never been, and drift toward the bluff
above the river-bend where the junked pickup
moored with its load of locust-skeletons.
Stretched across the blistered hood, we let
our dresses catch the wind while clouds above
dimmed their pink to purple, then shadow-blue—
So slow, we listened to our own bones grow.

188 is a bus route that takes quite some time, taking around 90-100 depending on the traffic around Russel Square-Waterloo. Its cross link with X68 has now been withdrawn and this bus now does the SL6.

It wasn't easy getting a composition I was happy with on these rocks but I wanted that water rushing through and pouring over the rock tables. eventually I settled on this, though I'd be happier a little more to my right but no way that was happening. Not without a good and proper soaking anyway.
