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? ☀️💛🙏

What have you seen today? ☺️

I ended up seeing quite a few different species of crabs 🦀 on low tide down the beach over the last two nights and also some really awesome coloured coral which is always nice to see! (Not sure pics are posting so won’t post many and know tags aren’t working so won’t tag, but know I’m thinking of you all and look forward to hearing what you have seen today or over the weekend ☺️)

Grateful to spend time with my best buddy 🐶💛🧡

(I’m also glad she doesn’t try pic up sea cucumbers thinking they are sticks- once was enough when she was younger 🙈)

Love your glimmer @Dimity! However I am not sure about that flower I’ll have to go do a Google search hehe, sounds like it was a nice surprise to see it as it’s out of season for it! Nice one!!

I can also re tag you in the other thread too! Just so you know which one I don’t mind where we chat about things ☺️☀️. What’s on for your weekend? I might go to the markets tomorrow, see how I feel.

ps I am very glad to hear you got my notification small wins yay!!

Yesss and the musk lorikeets @Dimity was my highlight discovering them as a bird when down south they are really pretty and it’s surprising when you take notice of things what you can come across! Here’s a memory pic of one, I love pics, trying not to break the system but I can’t help but want to share. Fingers crossed it works 🤩

You're so lucky to get a pic of one @Chasingsunsets they're very hard to spot. I've only seen them in detail when they've flown across the road in front of me.

My hope for the weekend is to chalk up some activity instead of being depressed and doomscrolling. It might rain but if not it would be good to garden - I need to weed and I have stuff to prune and other stuff to plant. And if it's wet I'll try to plug on with decluttering.

I didn't realise there were so many sorts of crabs. But I used to know someone who liked taking photos of sea critters for the museum.

Yessss all your photos have come through @Chasingsunsets . Great pic of the lorikeet. And I can see the figbird's red eye.

Yes they are hard to spot @Dimity, it was taken at a time where I was really struggling being down south and not feeling grounded. Just so busy and a very different pace/ life there. My walks were my only comfort I wanted to roll around the grass (but didn’t 😂) as I just did not feel grounded. Then I came across these guys! I didn’t even know they were a species so it was a real treat to learn!

Your weekend sounds good, always up to hear what you get up to! I hear you mention about the garden and thinking of our @Shaz51, you there shaz? 🙏

That’s cool about your friend taking pics for the museum they would have had an awesome camera!!

ps thanks for letting me know that the pics are coming through 🤩🙏

This is my son's dog, Polly Wombat. He got her as a rescue 8 years ago. She's 10 now. Isn't she beautiful. She has a lovely affectionate nature and absolutely loves her dad. She also loves mum as well! 😁

@Chasingsunsets @Bunniekins @Realness @MissGremlin and all others. 💚

No @MissGremlin I'm not getting very many tags at all! I haven't got any since yesterday! Doesn't help, hey! I tag you every day because I post every day. I was just talking to my son and took a screen shot of Polly. Something new that I've found out how to do. I worked at Vinnies this morning and got a great white jacket for half price. I really like working there and get a lot of good stuff. If I didn't get the stuff for half price, I wouldn't buy anything. The coordinator on the days I work is really good to the volunteers. Vinnies are really expensive these days although the area manager told me that they're 'reasonable' when I told her what I thought. Sure! Have you got any good Opp shops around your area? 😁
