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? ☀️💛🙏

@Shaz51 what a beautiful colour.

Do you get cyclones where you are? I truly hope not.

Yes @heartathome I’ll watch the ABC news then probably go to bed. Sometimes I read for a little while, but usually I go to sleep quickly. Yes I get up very early it suits me. When I worked I used to check my email and do work stuff before going early to the office. Then I left early and had a nap.

@Shaz51 Oh no. Have you ever had any incidents from them. I assume it would be bloody scary. 🌴

I know from having a boyfriend in Cairns at one stage and visiting my ex's family near Brisbane, just how heavy it rains up there. I was amazed when looking at houses in the area, that they had 3 or 4 storm drains on the house, not like the 1 that we use in Adelaide.

The worse cyclone had lifted the roof in the corner of the spare bedroom @Mustang67

Apart from that cyclone, the others wrecked the gardens and made a mess in the yard with the trees also cuts the power out for a week

@Shaz51 that's not good at all. How do you survive for a week without electricity? You can only store limited products in an eski, but then you can't cook it, unless you have gas, and it wasn't damaged. No bathing, and all the while you are sweating your arse off trying to clean up the damage.

I assume the roof was Colourbond or something similar.

I know! @Chasingsunsets 🤩

Well I went out for a boogie last night too, so quite sleepy today hahaha

Gah, life is always throwing curveballs, isn't it? Is there anything you'd like to yap about?

Oh what happened to your eye?!

I hope you get some good rest tonight. 🥰

Yes colourbond roof @Mustang67

Depends on how bad the cyclone is and how quickly they can put the power back on

Some people have generators, BBQ ect

@Shaz51 So obviously if you live in a cyclone area, you would be prepared and organised. Oh Duh! My brain didn't even venture that far. Lol

You can tell that I haven't been without power for more than a few hours. I would have no idea. I am sure eventually a BBQ would have crossed my mind.

That's OK @Mustang67 my awesome friend

Like other parts of Australia where they have floods or bushfires

You can only do soo much and then you just have to wait and see what happens

Another cyclone blew down the tree blocking the front door and blew down a tree blocking the back door
