    And maybe one to put you off?

      The view from my meeting room at uni yesterday:

      I didn't come this far to only come this far.

        Tawny, what amazing photos! Are you located in a rural area? What is the lizardy creature? The echidna looks so odd- sort of like a cross between a hedgehog and an aardvark. How many kangaroos are in your area? I can't imagine looking out the back window and seeing them.

        I am guessing the spider in your hand is one of the "benign" ones? I'm afraid that my impression of Oz is that one can't walk for ten feet without encountering a critter or bug that could take one's life in seconds, LOL! I am amusing myself by envisioning Aussies dashing off to work armed with machetes and epi-pens...

          Glassy, do you have 'roos in town? How many of them are there where you live? Do people feed them like we feed the squirrels? Do they ever attack?

          I am so happy to have undies posting on my thread!

            That one only came up onto the back verandah so I used to leave fruit for her and her little one. They're actually driving me crazy at the moment - they totally strip my garden every night. I now live in a townhouse with a teeny tiny courtyard garden but I try my best to grown some veggies in it. I planted six silverbeet plants last week and when I got up in the morning they'd chomped through the lot. . All that was left was a graveyard of stumpy little plant stalks. It breaks my heart sometimes.

            I live in the city, so no 'roos around my place unfortunately. My university is where I used to live, about an hour's drive away and they're very eco friendly. They once had to close one of the carparks because a plover decided to lay her eggs there.

            No, we don't feed them because they just graze on grass. I imagine they'd attack if they were cornered but generally they're pretty shy and they'll hop away if you get too close.

              Very happy to be here Fen. Say the word 'outdoors' and we shall come! :thumbsup:

              EDIT: also I sent you a PM but it looks like it's disappeared.

                  Nothing!

                  Are plovers native to your area? We have them, too.

                    Glassy, as for your garden...if your opossums are anything like ours (or our rabbits, groundhogs, etc.) you will need to fence in your beets...not only above ground, but below, for at least two feet deep. Bunnies decimated my garden at the cabin, at least initially. I lost all my peas, beans and most of my corn to them. I had no idea that the young bunnies could slip through the gaps in my wired fencing, so I had to install poultry fencing two feet above and below ground around the entire garden! They left my lettuces, herbs, zukes and toms unmolested, thankfully.

                    Oh, I nearly forgot...I also installed a two wire solar electric fence around the entire works, to keep the groundhogs, raccoons, deer, etc. out of the garden. I bet you could find a solar electric fence in Oz...

                          Dog Island in the middle of Lake Maitland in Maitland-Winter Park, Florida. One of my favorite kayaking destinations.

                          In the middle of my life's journey, I found myself in a dark wood, as I had lost the straight path. It is a difficult thing to speak about, how wild, harsh and impenetrable that wood is. Just thinking about it recreates the fear. It is scarcely less bitter than death, but in order to tell of the good that I found there, I must tell of the other things I saw there. --Dante, paraphrased

                            Alky, that place looks lovely...I love paddling, too. How often do you kayak?

                              Ok - this is a pic from when I met Fennel. So, it's not a great scenic picture but I am posting the view from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. It was gorgeous that day......IMG_0202b.JPG
