The on line travel blog “Let’s be wild” has challenged us this week to look more closely at the world around us and record things that are often “overlooked”.
I love looking for the detail in photos, the patterns and colours amaze me. So I hope you enjoy looking closely at my world…
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
Langston Hughes

The fungus works its magic on the damp forest floor turning debris to a rich life-giving compost.
Look closely at the patterns and colours on these often over-looked beauties.

The scribbly dialect, which zigzags around in a seemingly random and indecipherable pattern, found its place in Australian literature and culture. Yet the cause of the scribbles has always been somewhat of a mystery. They are old and dry with no sign of their creator, no ‘graffiti tag’ to identify the artist. How and why are they on the trees? What creature is responsible? (click here to read the fascinating story of the creator of the scribbles)

The sea, once it casts its spell,
holds one in its net of wonder forever.

The wonder and beauty of new life unfurling is part of nature’s magic.

Look closely, in the early morning mist these seed heads are weighed down by dew-drops.
Look closer and you will see the fine threads of the spider’s web.
************************************
Finally, have you ever gazed into the beautiful eyes of an ostrich and wished you could have eyelashes like that.
