Blood supplies in Australia are the lowest they’ve been for 10 years. I’m so grateful to people who donate blood & plasma. It helps so many people, including people like me. Australia always needs more donations. Please consider giving blood - account.lifeblood.com.au/u/login/iden... Thank you.🩸❤️

Walking in my #neighbourhood at #daybreak today. I love how everything gets a warm glow at this time until the #sun is fully up & illuminating everything below. ☀️🌿👋🏽😀 #Queensland #Qld #Sunrise #Sunshine

Wow! Look at the intensity of the colour on this #bougainvillea. It’s up a street in my neighbourhood that I rarely drive or walk along. I’ll need to add this street to my walk while it’s in #flower. May you have some beauty in your day! 🌺👋🏽😀 #bloomscrolling #Bloom #Bloombloom #Blooms #Flowersonline

The words of Søren Kierkegaard (1847), sit well with me today. “Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.” “…. I walk myself into a state of well-being …”.

Spectacular bromeliads! My garden as per other gardens don’t have the space to have this type, so it gives me pleasure seeing multiples of them in larger gardens. 🌿👋🏽😀

Spotted this young #joey (#kangaroo) & its mother feeding on a lawn late yesterday afternoon. I stayed fairly still & watched them for a while. I felt grateful that they allowed me to watch them & didn’t hurry off, and that we’re still able to see them like this in the city. 🦘 #Queensland #Australia

Photo is from 4:52pm y’day & not altered. The sunlight was bouncing through the trees & enabling the foliage to radiate different intensities of green. It was sublime! 🌿👋🏽😀

Sometimes I’m in a street & a plant, animal or object stops me, yesterday was one of those days. Look at this #bougainvillea. Yes I know they can have thorns, and can get out of control, but some have an intensity of colour & grow in a way that I find beautiful. #blooms #Bloombloom #Bloomscrolling

Mum’s #bird visitors were at her place yesterday. They have babies right now & there’s not a lot of food for them in growing suburbs. Please think about planting #trees & #shrubs that native #birds like & need for food sources, shelter & protection & nesting. It makes a difference. 🐦 #BirdsofOz

While on the Gold Coast last weekend I visited HOTA to see the ‘After the Rain’ exhibition. See my review on ‘After the Rain’ when it was exhibited at the National Gallery of Australia - www.croakey.org/after-the-ra..., Croakey - Informed, engaged communities for health. See at HOTA before 27 Sept!

I took delight in seeing the golden sunshine orbs bouncing through the trees this morning. I was up & moving early this morning because I’ve got a lot on today. Have a good one! 🌿☀️👋🏽😀

I got in some sun & surf before 8:00am yesterday morning. I wanted to get in a 5km walk & then a swim before the school holidays crowds hit the beach. What a great way to start the day! #GoldCoast #Qld #Queensland

Attended the Ipswich Musical Theatre Company’s production of GREASE last night at the Ipswich Civic Centre, Queensland. What a great feel good show & sharing it with friends & community members made it even better. “Grease is the word … it’s got groove, it’s got meaning …. “🎶 #CommunityTheatre

I took myself to the #Rockwiz Brisbane show last night! Just like on the tv show, attendees/ viewers could expect Julia Zemiro, Brian Nankervis & the Rockwiz Orkestra on the stage, but weren’t told who would be the special guests until they appeared. It was fun with lots of music & laughs! 🎶🎶🎵

One of life’s luxuries to me is a slow morning before I get going. I relish them! It’s the weekend. 🌿👋🏽😀

It’s the start of spring & there’s so much green & beauty all around. I’m claiming today & making it count! 🌿👋🏽😀

Bronwyn Fredericks @bronfredericks.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I grabbed a cuppa nearby & sat here in solitude after my walk/run/ walk today and watched the sun rise above the trees & the birds moving about. Sometimes it’s the simple pleasures that give me the greatest joy. May you have some joy today, even a little. ☀️🌿👋🏽😀

Bronwyn Fredericks @bronfredericks.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

My mum grew these when I was a kid. She had them in purple too, and sometimes she’d put a few in a vase. The plant in the photo was growing near a fence in a rock garden. Referred to as fire star or crucifix orchid (Epidendrum ibaguense), they’re easy to grow & propagate. 🌺✔️

Bronwyn Fredericks @bronfredericks.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Remember that life doesn’t need to be easy to be beautiful & to find pockets & bursts of joy. Listen to the birds in the video, mostly lorikeets, and look at the trees & the rays of sunshine at dawn, they all give me joy! ☀️🌿🐦 👋🏽😀

Bronwyn Fredericks @bronfredericks.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Plenty of fog & mist around in my neighbourhood this morning. It didn’t deter me from walking early because I’ve got a lot on today & needed to get going. May you all have a lovely day wherever you are & whatever you’re doing today. 🌿👋🏽😀

Bronwyn Fredericks @bronfredericks.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

There were three pots of bright bougainvillea on either side of a walkway to the entry of a building I went into yesterday. What a beautiful way to be greeted! 🌺👋🏽😀 #bloom #Blooms #BloomBloom #Flowersonline #Bloomscrolling

This morning there was a light mist, cobweb patterns across the grass, and a slight coolness in the air, which meant I still needed a jacket to do my walk.☀️🌿👋🏽😀

The #cockatoos in the creek in my #neighbourhood called up & down the #creek line this morning. I can hear them from my front room. They’re nesting at the moment & there might also be some snakes on the move with the warmer weather upsetting them. 🐦
