Have a Bennett's Wallaby with bebe onboard :)

Bennett's Wallaby, a grey macropod with reddish brown on head, ears and neck and white underside, stands on grass near concrete. Her pouch is noticeably enlarged because she has a sizeable joey taking refuge in there #BunyaMountains #Australia

From Dandabah Village, #BunyaMountains, on or near the Bunya Bunya track. I was too slow to get a picture of the wallaby joey but it was very cute ❤️ #AustralianWildlife #PublicArt

Female Bennett's Wallaby (grey with white undersides, and black striped cheeks) with bulging pouch into which her joey has just made a hasty escape from nosy humans.

"Past History and Future Hope
Designed and sculpted at Gatton by IRONIC ART
June 2008

Hand beaten sheet steel with heavy pipe work and zinc copper patina finish
The buttress-root base is a reminder of bygone logging days while fungi and vines represent nature reclaiming the forest.
The hand reaching to the heavens demonstrates the eternal struggle within the rainforest to reach the life giving sunlight above the canopy.
It also symbolizes humans caring for the Bunya Mountains.
Commissioned under the Art Built-in program, 2008"

Spotted Python on path to Mt Kiangarow lookout #BunyaMountains this morning. *I* stayed several metres away to take these. Spouse stood right over the poor thing to take his - and proceeded to ignore all the reasons I gave him why this was stupid.🤦‍♀️ He also said it was dead (it wasn't) #snake

A small (1m approx) Spotted Python, which is a cream and brown-black patterned Australian native non-venomous snake, coiled up at the base of a tree. Its head is to the left of the photo (taken by zoom several metres away). The snake was probably trying to warm up on a chilly morning which is why it was out in the open near the path.

Same snake as in previous shot in less zoomed photo

Some more pictures from the historic whaling station at Albany (I refused to go into the station itself, but the botanic garden and wildlife collection were worth a visit) #AustralianWildlife #AustralianFlora #BloomScrolling #WestAustralia #WestAustralianFlora

A brush-tailed bettong, or woylie, looking off to the left of frame. A woylie is a small nocturnal, kangaroo-like marsupial with greyish-brown fur on the upperparts and flanks and pale grey fur on the underside. Their long, prehensile tail is darkly coloured with a distinctive black brush at the end and is often used to carry nesting material such as grass and bark. Adults can grow to 38 cm (head-body) and 1.6 kg, with females slightly smaller than males. 

The one in the shot is about the size of a small cat. Woylies are critically endangered and only found in small populations in West Australia

From the botanic garden at the historic Whaling Station, Albany. Have some flowers #BloomScrolling #AustralianFlora #WestAustralianFlora #NativeFlowers

Amongst grey green leaves, a Pale yellow blossom composed of many filaments. I think it's some kind of bottlebrush, but the important thing is that this flower is about the size of my pudgy fist!

A Scarlet Banksia bloom, with tough green leaves at the base. The bloom is composed of dozens of bright red florets with long read stamens, formed into a short, squat cylinder

In front of a covered deck, a sunlit stand of yellow and crimson Kangaroo Paw flowers, so named for their shape, in a garden bed at a botanic garden, part of the Historic Whaling Station, Albany

Two bright red blooms of an Albany bottlebrush, and its spiky green foliage. They're composed of many small florets with long stamens with a yellow pollen bearing tip, forming what looks like a brush for cleaning bottles with.

My grandfather used to say "and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel" and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and he would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.

Jana, a dark tortoiseshell cat, lies on her side on scrap tissue paper on top of a rug. She loves to roll around on it and invite belly rubs (the belly is a trap!)

Shula, a black cat, lies on her side on a cat tree shelf in front of a window, looking at the photographer. She is clearly ready for mischief

Oh. nothing, just a tortie on a towel, disappointed that we are so very dull #cats #CatsOfBluesky

a dark tortoiseshell cat lies along a white towel on a high rack mounted on a white-tiled wall. She is full of ennui and has just stopped singing the song of her people about the injustice of humans who fail to entertain her as is her right. Great acoustics, bathrooms :)

I have the opposite = my black cat insists that 5.30am is time to GET UP, and is very miffed if I don't. She has food, water, and another human she could pester. But no, I am the one who must GET UP. Cats :)

8 years ago, we adopted Shula (4.5 yo, ish) and she became the keeper of my heart ❤️ She's as still active as a kitten, very needy, naughty, affectionate, curious, and has a remarkable sense of humour. She is the best thing that ever happened to me. Happy Gotcha Day, darling girl #cats

Tell me truthfully - Is this a rude message? I freely admit that I have terrible social instincts, but apparently my crime was calling them 'hon'. I call everyone 'hon'. And this is someone I'd followed for sometime, liked all their posts, reposted many of them, and left comments on too

not true en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wa...

Screen shot of text from WIki entry reading "America's entry into World War II resulted in a deluge of support for the war effort from all sectors of society, and Hollywood was no exception. Wayne was exempted from service due to his age (34 at the time of Pearl Harbor) and family status (classified as 3-A – family deferment). Wayne repeatedly wrote to John Ford saying he wanted to enlist, on one occasion inquiring whether he could get into Ford's military unit.[40] Wayne did not attempt to prevent his reclassification as 1-A (draft eligible), but Republic Studios was emphatically resistant to losing him, since he was their only A-list actor under contract. Herbert J. Yates, president of Republic, threatened Wayne with a lawsuit if he walked away from his contract,[41] and Republic Pictures intervened in the Selective Service process, requesting Wayne's further deferment.[42]"
