I rarely follow blog themes, but on occasion get inspired. Unfortunately I don't really know the etiquette of memes but hat tip to River and Andrew who had their posts up this morning, thus striking the flame.
Image of a mob of Kangaroos across the road from my house.
Kelly requested more roos. We regularly have many kangaroos - it may be the thing that we miss the most when we do move, as not many places in town offer this.
Painted sign on footpath advising "Slow Zone" with a snail image.
Its amazing how many people meander along these paths - but they are a shared zone and there are also a lot of people who zoom along these paths on bikes (and even more horrifyingly, e-scooters and e-bikes) so there is a requirement to remind people to be considerate - this is near the playground, so even more so!
Image of very aged concrete with very little insects!!
I am not sure if you can see it, but in the crack in the driveway concrete there are several gazillion ants moving to higher ground with their eggs - a flood is coming!
Red grapefruit tree laden with green fruit (and a very lush lawn requiring attention_
The grapefruit tree (and the orange and the lemon) are all abundant with fruit this season - we are hoping that a few ripen before we leave, but that is in the hands of the real estate gods come 5th Feburary.
These photos were taken 2 weeks apart - the main difference being the effects of a pressure wash - I am hoping that those flowers get a go ahead soon but they are starting to put together a bit more colour.

The ants know something that the weather bureau hasn't yet forecast.
That path sounds treacherous. E scooters are bad enough here, but they were even more scary in Brisbane a few years ago, mainly because of the speed they travel at on footpaths.
It's nice seeing flowers start to bloom. It will be sometime before that hits here -- quite some time! Hoping the day is a good one for you!
Oh I can't wait to see the new house! Lots of memories in your present place. How long have you lived there?
I love a post like this! Thanks for the kangaroos. I see a lot of interesting things on my walks, but what's common for you is quite novel for me. (not that I'd ever expect to see a roo here) It's interesting to watch insects and note how they can predict the weather. Wish I saw ants moving eggs to higher ground here. We desperately need rain.
Andrew - I am a few hours North of Brisbane - we had a teenager die a few years ago in a nearby town due to riding out in front of a car and losing control.
The day was beautiful thank you.
Still haven't found "the one" so I can't wait either... nearly 20 years.
This is our wet season, its just wetter than the average one.
I watch our ants too, but there are millions of them almost always on the move so it rarely means anything. I hope you do get some fruit before you move.
