Yellow Daisy Egg My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.
G'Day Sunshine, Adelaide G'day sunshine indeed! It's definitely a good day when the sun pleasantly warms the atmosphere and brings a beautiful green oasis to life in this park in Adelaide.

@ Albino Bennetts Wallaby, Tasmania, Australia Adelaide is often called the City of Churches. It’s not because there are a lot of churches (although it does have a lot!) it’s because right from the start there was freedom of religion and so there were many different places of worship including churches, mosques, synagogues and temples. Albino Bennetts Wallaby, Tasmania, Australia Well hello, there you cute wallaby. The Albino Bennetts Wallaby is found on Bruny Island, on the southeast coast of Tasmania, Australia.

Please join me, and we can make a day of seeing just how far we can glide.
