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? ☀️💛🙏

That's the right way to go @ENELKI

I've not been given a warning but have had posts unsent with a notifications that I've used a word that may trigger people.

eg. I used the b word when referring to constant television versions. But I've used the f word for emphasis and not been notified or asked to amend the text...

I've also been told that certain details are identifying by the moderator and yet I have been more precise at other times.

I think that it often depends on who is moderating at any given moment.

I absolutely understand the need for a duty of care, but wonder what the heck is wrong with some words and identifying descriptors.

Well I guess we should be appreciative of the SANE team for giving us the opportunity of using the forums to give and receive support from our peers.

Take care 🙂 Taali

So.. I’m not really feeling it today so I have called in sick for work. While I wait for my parents to come and go from my house I had to get out.

Here is where I’m sitting in the sun and listening to the birds

I also discovered that the river was close by when I went for a walk. It was really calming listening to the river trickle through.

Morning @Taali and @Captain24, lovely to see you both this morning + everyone else about on the forum 😊.

Captain, I love the place you chose to get out to it looks really lovely! The grass is so green! I wonder what kind of birds you can hear or see, or if you don’t know what they are that’s okay, maybe you can see their colours ☺️

@Dimity calls it my bird mysteries when I don’t know what bird I have seen ☺️😅 and I have another one today, I love trying to figure out and ID them hehe.

How cool you found a stream I also love the sound of water, so calming for me too. I hope the walk, the sun and nature can help how your feeling today even just a little bit. Thanks so much for sharing always lovely to hear from you 🌻💚

thought I’d add a pic captain, sorry some of the texts goes to a hyperlink blue too 😜

this is a male and female fig bird, saw them today. The male is the brightly coloured one 😊. everyone else may be sick of my fig birds now but I still really like them lol.

It’s good to see you too. How are you going today?. @Chasingsunsets

There is cockatoos, Willy wag tails. A rainbow lorikeet flew past my head and just then my favourite bird just flew past, 2 eastern rosellas. They were to high in the tree to get a photo.

It’s just so nice sitting here. I can safely go home now as my parents won’t be there but I’m still here just listening to the birds.

I might go for a walk later around the wetlands and hope there is no snakes. I’ll see how I feel later but right now I’m just at peace.

Here is the cockatoo

Hey there @Captain24 😊, love your pic! I just edited my last msg to ya with a pic of some fig birds I saw this morning ☺️. I love cockatoos I talk to them sometimes and then sometimes they put their crest up which is always cute- they are probably wondering what I’m on about 🙊.

oh and eastern rosellas! Very cool, I have never seen them in person but what beautiful birds. Awesome colours!! The wetlands later sound lovely aswell you’ll have to let me know if you take a look around there, I’d be interested to see what you may see, love a little adventure 😊

I am so glad you found a lovely spot and found peace out there, nature is definitely my happy place, it’s where I find my peace too. Very regulating for me. Definitely connect with what that feels like to listen to the birds and just be 💛

Gorgeous photos @Captain24

I love that you have captured the dynamic but calm sense of the river there.

I don't think we've met before so I'll say a very warm "Hello" to you

Taali 💙

I haven’t heard or seen those bird before @Chasingsunsets I love the male. What beautiful colours.

The people next door to me when I was growing up had a cockatoo. We use to talk to him all the time. They are everywhere around here.

We had an eastern rosella growing up and he talked. He was so cute. I don’t have a really good photo of him but the one I have I’m going to order in a diamond art. I already have a rosella and another one to do that has rosella in it. But this one will be my rosella!

I might take a stroll through there this afternoon. I won’t have to watch my dogs as they are at mums house. So I can walk freely.

I’ll go for a walk through one of our parks next week and take some photos for you. It’s really pretty and it seems like every tourist that comes town goes there and says how wonderful it is.

Nature is hard with snakes. They will start soon and there will be daily posts in the Facebook group of my estate of snake sightings.

I didn’t realise how much I just like sitting here. My nature is the beach but that’s 4 hours away. I find peace there but now I have found peace just around the corner.

Nice one @Taali 🤗, thanks for your post as the pics of the stream hasn’t come up yet on @Captain24 post and didn’t know photos were coming so I just saw them 😊, glad I got to see them 😎

Hi @Taali

Hello to you too.

I don’t venture out of my thread much other than to post photos of my diamond art.

They are nice photos which is why I thought I would share them. It’s hard to get good photos as all it is is gum trees.

I’ve just realised that I have been sitting here for 2 hours! I’ll definitely come back here. I’m going to add it to my safety plan.

Is there anywhere you like to go?
