Hold your ground

Large and luscious tree along the bike path, Canberra

Protesting in peace,
against greedy land grabbers,
spreading love, strong roots.

I see you

a pair of purple swamphens, one looking directly at the camera, Canberra — Purple swamphens by the Lake Ginninderra, Canberra

Moving gingerly,
as predator towards prey,
worm eater locks eyes.

Fighter

a single eucalypt tree standing against a blue sky, Canberra

Battling with the blues,
fifty shades of greenery;
therapist, nature.

Great teacher

Trees in a park, with a sign bthat reads, Trees are great at social distancing, Haig Park, Canberra — Haig Park, Canberra

Spread comfort and joy;
grab a leaf from nature’s book—
lessons to live by.

Birdwatching

Magpie on a tree looking up at the partly cloudy sunny sky on a summer afternoon, Canberra

Open-throated call,
looking up to the heavens;
showing off, magpie.
