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? ☀️💛🙏

@Chasingsunsets great photo of the grasshopper. It is nice and clear when you zoom in for a close up look. And AI agrees, it says it is likely a juvenile stage of the Giant Grasshopper.

Hey @PeppyPatti, how are you doing today? Love peanut and @Mustang67s good morning to you 🥰, nice one mustang 😊

Maybe GAD is generalised anxiety disorder, sorry a bit late to reply and you may have found out what it is by now. I could be wrong though. Is the therapist your existing one or a different one? How’s beautiful peanut going?

Thanks also about the info on the grass hopper!

Thanks for sharing about the air fryer too, sorry you are finding you doing have a lot of space at the moment.
I do love magpies, not when the swoop though haha. Although I am pretty lucky if I am with indi all the birds focus on her and not me- she takes the swoops for the team 😂. I love rainbow lorikeets, I’m the same! I love birds with colour! I haven’t shared yet with everyone but check this one out, there were two! Might have you confused, see what you think it is hehe.

Hi @PeppyPatti I just looked up GAD and it stands for Generalised Anxiety Disorder, not sure if that helps or not.
