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? ☀️💛🙏

Hi @Appleblossom you seemed to have had some lovely interactions with people lately. That's so lovely to hear.

Yes, I have to say I am really missing my dogs. It's nice seeing people out and about with their dogs.

Actually one of the ladies is indigneous from WA. @Till23 She always wears a shell on her neck and we were talking about gardening and making our own mulch. She had just lost her son, so it was a hard and DEEP listening "dadirri" kind of talk. But real. We just chat every few months when I see her when I am out walking.

Wow! That's a combination of breeds @Appleblossom . It's hard to imagine what it looked like!

When my son and his dog lived with me, we used to go for a walk every afternoon. I got to know the same people after a while through their dog's name. It was always Polly's dad, Summer's mum, Ace's dad, etc. I knew just about every dog's name at the park but none of the people's names. 😏 My favourite kisses are dog kisses! 🐶 I love them! Such unconditional love and loyalty. 💛

@heartathome we have 2 poodle crosses in our littel court. The other is a lab cross which is much smaller.

Funny thing is that,I also know the dogs name but not the name of the lady I was talking too. lol Embarrassed smile.

Oh that does sound like a deep conversation @Appleblossom

However, it's good for both of you that you two are able to have those deep conversations. Hopefully you both find some comfort from the conversations and you have some lighter things like gardening in common to talk about.

Unfortunately I am feeling more dissociated from feelings at the moment, so even of I had someone to have a deep conversation with I may not really "feel it".

I am trying to think of a highlight for today to fit into this thread.

I suppose it can be that it just rained for a short while here, which is good, because we are currently desperate for rain. Unfortunately it was short and sharp, but got 12mm out of it. Supposed to be really hot again over next couple of days
