Heading out with just a camera and no tripod, the writer expects to photograph flowers and ends up chasing a magpie thief instead. After the stolen garden tie drama, two focused hours of pruning and chainsawing reveal a newly opened backyard, full of potential and future gardening goals.

Sunday Dawn at Wreck Point, Yeppoon Sunday is my one slow morning of the week, the only day when the alarm doesn’t dictate my first thought. But this Sunday, I set it early on purpose. I wanted to chase first light at Wreck Point in Yeppoon, that quiet pocket of the Capricorn Coast where the […]

Where Morning Finds Me A brand new original song by Daisy Jericho — now available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and DistroKid. 🌅
A quiet, pre-dawn walk down the wooden stairs to Yeppoon Main Beach becomes a gentle invitation into the day. Bathed in soft golden sunrise light, sand, sea, and timber glow as the photographer slows down, breathes deeply, and captures the magic of this peaceful Queensland corner.
A quiet bushwalk turns vivid when a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets appears among red bottlebrush flowers. Their brilliant blues, oranges, and greens transform an ordinary morning into a fleeting wildlife photography moment that captures the magic of patience, timing, and simply being there.

That is ever so lovely Daisy
When I was at my daughters last weekend, her desert rose is decidedly in poor shape. Your post gives me hope that she can rescue it and get it back to how it was years ago.
Good day, Bushboy.
They will soon be in full bloom. This one on that post needed repotting, pulled it out but I forgotten all about them, there was also another one with softer base and was definitely dying. The growth was faster on this one than the other one, so happy to see them survived
Are they in full sun?
Oh yes aways in the full sun at least 6 hours or that’s what I learn from the Brisbane Desert Roses Group, Don’t need to much of watering either.
I thought so. She doesn’t feel safe putting it where it can get full sun in case it gets stolen 🙄
Her balcony in Lismore was the best for the Desert Rose. North facing
Oh I see, at least it the desert rose gets 5 hours is good too. But some people are not to be trusted thought. I hope she can find a way to get some lights on them. I have backyard that is full of sunshine. Last years blooms were so good on that same one I posted.
Trouble is it would out the front and lots of people walk past every day
That’s sad .. but hey you never know here DR might bloom yet.
