I took this small detail of a new plant we bought in the summer for the terrace. It's a very large succulent, the likes of which I've never seen before. it's about 3' high (1 metre). I tried to find out using my Seek app without success but I was more successful with Google Lens. Two possibilities came up - Echeveria giant ruffles or Echeveria crimson tide. As you can see from the title, I mixed up both of the names as either could be relevant 😊
This scrub jay is another capture from the cold day where the birds would just let me approach and stay where they were. It was windy and cold, which helped them make the decision to wait me out!

Thank you to everybody that views, comments and for favouring my images. Always greatly appreciated.

White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae) juvenile
I was able to make a quick visit to the Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands and was thrilled to see a lot of juvenile birds around. This Heron was quite amusing to watch as it was trying to imitate Mum feeding.
I think women have long been defined by their roles as procreators and wives, and we're expected to serve, take care of, say 'Yes,' and not ruffle any feathers. Women, in particular, are sometimes not allowed to consider who they are outside of the roles that they play.
