These are beautiful! I have been thinking about using oil pastels on oil paintings but I read that they never fully dry and need to be under glass?

My android phone updated itself and changed the function of the power button to launching Google's AI assistant. A search on Reddit finally told me what's going on and how to revert to the original function. #android

A lot of people don't like ibises - and they do hang out at the tip eating rubbish. But they are beautiful when you see them flying and wading in the dam. They are probably eating the little frogs though. #ausbirds #photography #southerntablelands #ibis

A table is set for a meal. Six children are gathered around it and mother stands leading the saying of grace. Everybody lowers their heads in prayer heads except granny, sitting in the corner who looks up with a crafty expression.

Try finding a comfortable spot and staying there quietly for just ten minutes. It's worth it, we promise.

A Pied Oystercatcher with distinctive black and white plumage, bright orange-red bill, and pink legs stands on rocky coastal terrain with water visible in the background. White text reads "PRACTICE STAYING STILL" as the headline, with instructions to find a comfortable spot and stay quietly for ten minutes. Text in the lower right reads "It's worth it, we promise."

This striking bat, the Grey-headed Flying-fox (Pteropus poliocephalus), is found only in Australia. They're also critical pollinators & seed dispersers for over 100 native tree & plant species! 📷 lawrencehylton on iNaturalist 📍 Australia 🔗: www.inaturalist.org/observations... #ObservationOfTheDay

So many birds flying around in the wind before the heatwave! 5 species of birds were together at one birdbath. Didn't get a photo though. But interesting clouds after the wind changed direction. #aussieheatwave #heatwave #wind #clouds #ausbirds

Lovely morning for a walk. Not a soul to be seen, just dogs barking, birds, a wallaby and a red bellied black snake crossing the road. The bird here is a Noisy Friarbird, it has a bump on top of its beak. #ausbirds #auswildlife #xmasday #bordercollie

Scary looking orange-footed centipede found under a rotting log. Apparently a voracious predator but mildly toxic to humans. #auswildlife #ausinverts

Yes we have grey shrikethrushes, they have a lovely song, and they return to the same nest every spring. Though I can't tell if it's the same pair. You can hear them on the Merlin app, but you have to search for gray, not grey.

Dinner time here in Australia. 🍽️😋🇦🇺 Ibis in a low tide lagoon. Seafood is on the menu. 🐦🌊🏖️ 🦞🐚 Sweet dreams, world. 😴✨🌍 #birds #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #naturephotography #birding #birdwatching #birdwatchers #Canon #R5 #Australia

The photograph, taken from a low angle at eye level, presents a flock of Australian white ibis birds wading in the shallow, sandy waters of a light blue lagoon. The blurry background features a light-brown, sandy bank and additional ibis birds in the distance. In the foreground, four birds take centre stage. On the left, two birds are intently searching for sustenance, their long, downward-curving beaks either submerged or close to the water's surface. To the right, two more ibis birds have their beaks open, seemingly in search of food. The birds' bodies are predominantly white, contrasted by black feathers on their backs and black, featherless heads and necks. Their legs and beaks are also black. The scene is bathed in the warm light of sunset.

A Rainbow Lorikeet taking off from a Swamp Banksia flower spike Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia #Australianphotography #birds #australianbirds #WildOz #nature #flight #birdsinflight #banksias

The head of the rainbow lorikeet is deep blue with a greenish-yellow nuchal collar, and the rest of the upper parts (wings, back and tail) are green. The chest is orange/yellow. The belly is deep blue, and the thighs and rump are green. The flower spike is a lime green colour. In the distance the sea can be just made out.

Copied my files to Documents and Pictures. Then found that Windows had dragged them onto the OneNote that I have never used or wanted to use. Spent the next 3 hours figuring out what happened and undoing it so hopefully it will not happen again.

Must be a successful stategy, we have plenty of fantails as well as crows and currawongs. I'm planting prickly bushes for them to hide in.
