Whether from living in such a remote area, or just generally preferring to live as a semi-loner, I've found myself growing more and more fascinated by and attached to animals lately. And we are surrounded by so many here, it's hard not to become a little obsessed. From the little baby dragonflies to the black mambas, I'm in awe, daily.
Some of my favourites are the bats
In particular, we have a very cute little guy that flies around our patio every single night, catching bugs. I'd also noticed a whole lot of them circling a particular tree the other night, so I decided to see if I could get a few snaps of them perhaps sleeping in that same tree during the day. But lo! Somehow I had missed it, we have a wild fig tree growing in our garden!
Took a couple more snaps, it's a beautiful tree indeed:
This next one immediately had me reminiscing, thinking of my love for Fern Gully as a young girl:
It was of course this tree from the movie that came to mind:
Add to THAT, my favourite CHARACTER from the movie (Batty):
And whadda you know, it's magical 🤗
Love and peace to all,
