Picked some gai choi, gai lan and mizuna today. The mizuna in particular has been very productive for several months, and has a nice fresh flavour.

Moon on Aug 23 at 80% illumination, showing at lower left the 'golden handle' effect first described by Galileo in the 1600s. This is caused by the angle of sunlight shining on the Montes Jura mountain range, which is actually a partial crater rim. #moonphotography

Moon at 42% illumination tonight. Used EV of -3, 1/40s exposure. The longer exposure brought out a little more detail I think.

Grevillea sericea. I blurred the background by using a 130mm zoom and shooting from about 5m distance.

Winter veges: gai lan at the front, then radishes, mizuna and gai choi. The mizuna is fast growing and has been very productive over many months, also tasty and versatile for cooking or salad. The gai lan has been a bit disappointing, so I might try a different variety next year.

Hakea sericea seed pods, each containing 2 seeds. The lower pod has been attacked by a tunnelling insect.

I cut open this newly fallen branch and discovered an ant nest hidden inside: a miniature world. Possibly these are Crematogaster ants, which are known to nest in trees.

Noticed this little guy by the front door last night, maybe a Common Eastern Froglet. The eyes have an interesting appearance with those weird pupils. He is waiting for insects attracted by the porch light.

I saw this exhibition at the Okinawa Prefectural Museum and Art Museum (Okimyu) 沖縄県立博物館・美術館(おきみゅー) Created by Osamu Tezuka, Black Jack is a brilliant surgeon with a mysterious past. Lots of work displayed from this influencial and wildly imaginative artist.

I think this is a Red Bellied Black Snake. Unfortunately I only had my phone camera with me so couldn't zoom in any more.
