What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

Hi everyone! This is my first ever forum post so do hope it lands where it’s meant to 🤣

Most days, I like to find a highlight 😊. Usually, that means during a walk with my dog, I try to spot something different, something cool or something that brings me some happiness. Whether it’s something big or small, it doesn’t matter. A highlight can be anything!

I love taking photos and would really like to share and see what you've come across. Something that made you smile, sparked your interest, or simply caught your eye. For me, it’s all the little things that count on the hard days.


To start, I’d like to share these beautiful birds I came across today. They like to appear like branches of a tree or the tree itself. They are called Tawny Frogmouth’s. Has anyone else seen these types of birds? My pics below -(hopefully not too small to see two in the tree on the left pic).

What have you seen today? ☀️💛🙏

Oh laundry boring indeed @AlwaysMyself . Good you spoke to your mum and got out of the house. I walked this morning so got out briefly. But enjoyed my morning in the garden and making banana bread in the afternoon. Bread is delicious think I’ll have another piece.

@GezzaP It sounds like you live in a great location.

I hope you wear gumboots or something similar when you go into the garden in summer. You wouldn't want to be bitten on the foot or leg by accident. But you do have the right idea about being noisy out in the garden.

I used to get brown snakes and blue tongues when I lived out north, but behind my property was just nature, so the snakes & lizards obviously found a way to get in, as a snake bit my cat. She survived, but it wasn't cheap for the anti-venom. And of course it happened on a Sunday, so I had to call the emergency vet in.

We had two Jack Russells and I remember one day going out the back yard and I saw that one of the dogs had something in his mouth. At first I thought it was a snake, as all I could see was scales hanging out one side of his mouth. I moved in closer to get a better look, and he started shaking his head violently, and it was then that I could see that it was a blue tongue. But unfortunately all the lizards guts were flying everywhere, which I didn't realise at the time. A little bit later, I found lizard guts throughout my hair. It was disgusting 😣

No worries with the weeding @Bunniekins I actually find it quite relaxing. The garden is a wonderful distraction.

No worries about forgetting who said what and what you said to who @AlwaysMyself I'm with you on that one! I'm confused even 'saying' it! 😂

Yes my sister’s old dog got a blue tongue st my place. It really stunk! I don’t have gum boots guess I should get some. But I’m noisy and keep my eyes peeled.

I will send you a piece of banana bread. @Bunniekins I had two pieces. Just chilling out now after a busy day. What are you doing? Will start thinking about dinner in a little while after a drink and a sit down.

@GezzaP @REDLINEZ750 I too heard that blue tongues kept snakes away, but it obviously wasn't the case in my back yard.

@REDLINEZ750 and just reading your reply has made me start laughing again, as that look on his face is priceless 😄

So thank you for sharing, as I needed a laugh today.
