Crazy creature… echidna!
I have been fishing all the files off my old dead laptop (*sigh*) and came across a little series I thought long lost to computer oblivion… It was a set I really wanted to share, taken earlier last year when…
Tough yet vulnerable
Bottle trees (from the boab family) fascinate me endlessly…Officially called Brachychiton rupestris (which sounds to me like some kind of carniverous dinosaur) is described as a succulent, drought-deciduous tree. Which basically means (as far as I can deduce) that it…
Elvis is back (in the paddock)…
I cannot help but see flashes of human traits and personalities in the many animals living here at Granite Glen. Sure, I suffer from a slightly over-active imagination, but I swear anyone can see it! … For instance, Rob Roy…
