Wooly bear caterpillar - we brought him inside hoping to witness his metamorphosis... but it turned out that he had been parasitized by wasps.

Wombat is learning that with time and lots of patience, you CAN get Munchkin to cooperate and go where you want him to... (sometimes) lol

Remember the huge, strange spiky plant that took 10 years to flower (post #103)? Instead of growing seed pods, the flowers grew into new baby spiky plants - hundreds or even thousands of them. Wombat loves the hunt and has been gathering them up as they start to fall.

Munchkin is very confident about the slippery dip now and can negotiate it all by himself - even with his hands encumbered.

Wombat playing with Mummy's 3kg dumbells.


Stripping off in the autumn sunshine and rubbing dirt into your skin? I think it's a boy thing. The question is, does it make you stronger?

Wombat likes the macro setting on my camera as much as I do. This is his close-up of an ant nest - with ant.

After all the frosts, signs of spring appear. A pair of wooducks, seen through the neighbour's fence.

Another early frosty morning... another weed turned glorious by ice and fire (sunlight)... in the country, this one is called 'Farmer's Friend' (due to its habit of sticking its seeds all over you)... in the city it is known as 'Cobbler's Pegs' (possibly because it coats your shoelaces & socks with little 'nails').

Did the paddocks in the last dawn photo look cold to you? They were. Today I had to scrape the ice off my windscreen.
