Taken at a local animal park. Glad there was a fence that separated us, he didn't look too friendly!

Found this cluster of tiny toadstools, growing under my strawberry plants

Jewel Beetle protecting her eggs

I don't know what this beetle is called but it was on my pot plant and I haven't seen one like it since.

Taken at sunset, out my back window, whilst there were bushfires in my area.
