Banksia flowers spikes like on this Banksia prionotes (Acorn Banksia) are mesmerising from the top, with their flowers symmetrically opening from bottom to the top.

In all my desert travels I have just witness a spectacular and amazing site just off the Tanami track. Diamond doves in their thousands coming into the last water soak in the desert areas. Look at the bushes behind! @NightParrotWA 🦜#Desert #amazing #travel #birding #Doves 🐦👀 – at Northern Territory, Australia

These amazing red flowering gums (Corymbia ficifolia) grow naturally near Albany in south Western Australia but are often planted as street trees around the world - they are so spectacular! They also take my vote for 2022’s #EucalyptOfTheYear @EucalyptAus #friendsofficifolia

I love Tawny Frogmouths, seriously, they always seem like they are not impressed with a joke that everyone else thinks is funny (or that they just don’t want to be at ‘the party’). With their soft plumage & huge eyes, they are stunning camouflage experts #sciart #scicomm #wildoz

Something a little different… I don’t know much about moths but my best guess is that this little one is a Heliotrope Moth,
Utetheisa pulchelloides, as it has 5 orange marks along margin.

Goodbye 2021, you have been a little bit prickly, like this festive looking Parrot Bush (Banksia sessilis) but there have been some wonderful moments throughout the year too. Wishing everyone a wonderful year in 2022, one full of love, health and happiness.

Some cuteness to start your week, a Pygmy Possum! 🥰
Handled under permit in Big Desert Wilderness Area, this little guy made its way into our pitfall traps one night. A cute, unexpected visitor!
I miss the Mallee 🏜

Seriously stunning Geraldton Wax (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a local species that is blooming en masse! The shrubs are covered with pink, white & purplish blooms - such bee magnets!
I love experimenting with this textured drawing style…
