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? ☀️💛🙏

Good morning @Shaz51

It sounds like a relaxing early morning, listening to the rain and the birds and enjoying a cuppa. I had my double shot at 6am and walked a few kilometres back to my old partner's place. 💚

@Chasingsunsets

This is great!! Thanks for tagging me my support button isn’t working again, so I’m sorry I haven’t been able to support, but just know I DO support haha 😍

Regarding the quality, It’s so annoying when that happens. I’ve noticed the same thing on Instagram, the quality looks great on the camera, but once you upload it, it doesn’t look as good for some reason. But I still think it looks really good, great shot.

This actually reminded me, I saw a really cool bird landing in my bird bath the other day! It was hanging around for a while and I was lucky enough to grab my camera in time and get a shot. Usually the bird is gone by the time I get my camera, but not this time. I’ll try to remember to post it here!😊

@Chasingsunsets Congratulations on making it to FriYAY 🎉

The only thing I am remembering today is my name and where I put my car keys LOL

@MissGremlin how are you sweetheart? I know you have insomnia.

I had insomnia for 3 - 4 years. I sleep better now. Unless one of the Kelpies wakes me up 4 times during the night - like last night.

I hope today is good to you. I got to go feed the stinky beasts.

Hello @Glisten sweetheart, I'm okayish at the moment just lots of anxiety today but I'm trying to keep distracted.

How are you sweet, despite being woken up last night?

Insomnia really sucks, I've always struggled with sleep but not to this degree.

Haha the stinky beasts requiring food 😂.

Yes @PeppyPatti I agree with you, little Peanut is super cute. What breed? How big? Hannah is 5.5kgs. So happy for you that you have each other. They really do make a big difference.

I do still have quite a few long term friends here on Sane, and I appreciate all of you. But I just don't have a lot of energy sometimes to be as actively involved as I used to be. I do always read any posts I am tagged in and try to keep abreast of where everyone is at. It gets difficult though, when you aren't on here so much 💕

😲 That's an awful lot of things to do in one day @TAB !!

I could have asked you before but are you in the country or city? Going 30 ks for a haircut and fuel? That sounds like a day trip for me!

The local paper - our newsagent closed down recently and now there is a lotto area in the chemist! Seems strange to me but I guess no stranger than buying smoko from them! 😁

I'm glad you got to put the garbage out before it went! Yes, I've had to do a couple of sprints to catch them too. 💚

Yesss I agree @heartathome sunrises can be so peaceful, kicks off a great start to the day hey, before everyone gets up and the busyness can begin. I’d love to try get up for early walks again (not as early as sunrise hehe but maybe 8am lol). So many more birds in the morning 😊

I hope you are having a lovely day!

Sounds like a lovely morning @Shaz51 do you have a favour bird at the moment shaz that you like to see?


Good luck with the cabinet @TAB, sounds exciting 😊, sounds like a busy day for you

Lovely to see you @SaltwaterSoul! ah no not the support button malfunction so annoying, hope the function comes back soon. Yess the quality is really getting to me I am sure people just think I take blury and not sharp pics sometimes 😂

Oh you have a bird bath that’s so cool, think whatever I get a place of my own I’ll like to get a bird bath!! Always a win when you can capture a shot hehe, I feel this way with butterflies lately haha just never quick enough to get them when they are busy flying around hehe. Look forward to seeing the bird you captured 🤩☀️

Thankyou @Glisten 🎉. Those are two very good things to remember especially the car keys very helpful lol. Have you been building or constructing anything of late 😊

aw look at peanut @PeppyPatti, looking so comfy in maybe a beanbag or comfy blanket ☺️. Thanks for sharing 🐶🐾

nice one @Rosepetal96, how’s your foot been going? Gosh people are so talented aren’t they! That artwork is great! Thanks for sharing so bright and eye catching hey!
