Sunrise on Monday 5 September

Image
 I thought I had missed the sunrise when I woke up and peered through the window. Then I knocked the finger that I cut last night and there was blood everywhere. Grabbing a tissue I wrapped it up and headed outside with the camera and there was the sunrise I headed to the kitchen for a Band-Aid, and the sun was still rising. The sky was glorious.

Little Green Frog

 I picked up a glass for a drink of water and there was a frog sitting on it. During cooler and drier months, the  green tree frog  can often be found hiding in toilet bowls across Australia...

Because of this, it's a favorable omen when a frog shows up in your life, so if you do share your bathroom with a frog or two, remember they are bringing you good fortune and do not catch it in a jar and toss him out.

Wild guineas eat mainly insects, and domestic guineas can consume large amounts of insects without affecting garden vegetables or flowers. Just like other poultry like chickens, ducks, and quail,  guinea fowl are completely edible . And can be quite delicious.  Guineafowl meat is drier and leaner than  chicken meat  and has a gamey flavour. It has marginally more protein than chicken or  turkey , roughly half the fat of chicken and slightly less  food energy  per gram.  Their eggs are substantially richer than those of chickens. Guineafowl travel behind herd animals and beneath  monkey  troops, where they forage within ...

Wallabies at Sunrise

Wallabies are nocturnal Wallaby , any of several middle-sized marsupial mammals belonging to the kangaroo family, Macropodidae (see kangaroo).
