Blueberry blossom

It's mid winter in Perth but my blueberries are in full bloom. As both bushes died a few months after planting last year I bought a new bush and left it in the pot on a sunny spot and now I am a bit worried as it doesn't have any leaves but only blossom, heaps... tiny white flower baskets catching raindrops...

Worm farm

Since a few weeks I am in the possession of a whole colony of worms. I've won them during a worm farm demonstration and I am housing them in an old ceramic water filter set. This works perfect. The worms have to share the kitchen scraps with the chickens so they end up with all the stuff the chooks don't eat, poor things... But they seem to be alrigth, they breed like mad!

Fungus

This little bowl shaped fungus was growing in my marjoram herbs. It's so tiny but so perfect baked.

Snowpea blossom

Late Autumn I've sown some snowpeas and they are blooming for a while now, I've already eaten 4 snowpeas, just raw, they are delicious. But his week after a heavy shower the blossoms looked so beautiful, heavenly loaden with raindrops.

Arapaima Gigas


This Arapaima Gigas, an Amazon fish, lives in a pond in the elephant resort in Bali. It was rescued from a small private pond which he has outgrown and relocated to the big pond at the resort. The skin of the fish is amazing.

Bali insect

This red kind of dragon fly was flying around the elephant resort I visited in Bali this week. Very pretty with a nice deep red/black colour. Only thing weird is that it looks like it's wings are the wrong way attached...
