I was never looking good in a swimming suit or togs as we call them here.
As to Lorell asking did I have a good day? well yes I did. While out walking in the local National park taking landscape photos for my other half to use for paintings, I came across something that I'd never seen before. The camera had already stopped working. Either stuffed with too many photos or the battery said "the screen will go black now". So I had the mobile phone out. Was taking more landscape shots of interest and there it was a tiny Yellow Footed Antechinus. The name antechinus basically means, not a hedgehog.
They are famous for their sex life.
The yellow-footed antechinus (Antechinus flavipes), also known as the mardo, is a shrew-like marsupial found in Australia. One notable feature of the species is its sexual behaviour. The male yellow-footed antechinus engages in such frenzied mating that its immune system becomes compromised, resulting in stress related death before it is one year old.

A log and a rock.

Hang on there's something else there.

Happiness simply is.
