I really like the garden posted by Kopenhagen. My new backyard is a blank slate I would love to find the time to make something like that. It reminds me of a Japanese garden. If I cound get the tree laying on its side in Dsk's pic...it'd be great!
The Moeraki boulders posted by Am*3...bit of a mystery those things. Millions of years ago the oceans were red due to a high iron content. Stromatolites (sort of the early version of coral reefs) formed all over the planet producing oxygen creating a rust in the ocean which formed the iron deposites we dig up today and changed it's colour to what it is now.

It's possible those boulders are Stromatolites. Maybe your drier hotter weather caused the smoother shape than elsewhere.

Those stromatolites are amazing aren't they! We have a heap of them here in Western Australia - up at Shark Bay.
I don't have any pics of them on this computer atm and anyone could google them - just saving anyone the trouble lol

Yes, pretty cool. I was surprised they exist here far inland.

I wish I had a camera back when I rescued that orphaned baby squirrel. I've mentioned it before and how it would nuzzle my ear and purr. I recently saw this video where the poster of it thinks the cat taight the squirrel to purr. I don't have a cat...AND I don't purr either, lol. Well...maybe sometimes! 🙂
Summers almost here and in my new ultra quiet backyard I'll get to know some squirrels and take some pics. Hopefully in time for a theme they'd fit.
