Phototherapy for today

I have to think of something positive. This picture will help.

Oh my goodness! I woke up this morning and my head was buzzing. It was buzzing in a good way. I was digging up existing plants and planting them in new places. For instance, I thought of frangipani at the back yard and how I could transplant it in the most difficult-to-plant-corner in front. And I thought of the rule of three. When you plant something in an open space, plant three plants at the same time so it doesn´t look funny in a wrong way.

Oh my, the digging ahead...

This picture is from last weekend trip to Mt Tamborine. I think this is one of the best pictures from the trip. Often the most obvious ´photo oppportunities´ don´t make the best pictures. It is all about the position, position, position, as they say... The position of the photographer!

Orange talk

This one was just waiting for me to take a picture and kept saying:

``Take a picture, take a picture, take a picture! Hurry up!``

And the one underneath was complaining:

``Why am I always left behind? I want to be in the picture too!``

Springtime on the Mountain

I visited the display gardens on Mt Tamborine over the weekend. Here is a shot of spring.

Dill for recovery

I am recovering from a broken toe, head cold and declined job applications. In aid of recovery I am concentrating on plants. For example, I was just outside admiring my little lemon tree, checked the wild flower seeds (nothing up yet) and sniffed a bunch of crunched dill in my hand. Feeling better already!

It's great to receive surprise flowers!

A friend gave me flowers the other day.

In the memory of the man speaking against racism

According to the young man´s father, the young man stood up to neo-nazis during a demonstration in Finland a while back. He was knocked down or perhaps beaten up. Allegedly afterwards the neo-nazi group bragged in the social media about ´teaching (the man) a lesson´. The young man died a couple of days due to brain hemorrage, according to his father.
The young man was brave to stand up against racism, xenophobia and hatred. He paid the ultimate price for his beliefs. This is a sad world we live in.

My toe in the scheme of things

When I said out loud that I am really stressed, half of it went away.

I wish I could go for a walk in the bush but I can't. I fractured my toe on Monday, hence low mobility.

Now I have to tackle the other half.

In the meanwhile in the bush... Flowers!

Nuclear issues such as daisies

I am reading Henning Mankell's Quicksand. He has already left Earth. He wrote about Onkalo, the cavern place where Finland is going to store nuclear waste for the next 100 000 years.
Here, South Australia will vote whether they want to have nuclear waste buried at their backyard. Aaahh, it would bring so much money! Think about the money! 100 billion dollars in 120 years! How happy we would become with all that money!

I am just sick of thinking of money, nuclear power and the waste problem. My antidote is to take pictures of flowers. Here is one. These look like daisies swaying in the wind.

Nothing stays the same. Everything is in flux. Even Earth comes and then goes.

Pink balls in the wind

It is spring again. This picture is from last week's bush walk.
