Bird sings with open wings - procreate
The bird in the picture is a crimson rosella native to Australia. Absolutely stunning birds I’m so glad I get to see them everyday.
This is Ricky (named after Ricky Jervais) and he was the first bird to visit our house when we first moved in and he has visited ever since
I will most likely be drawing the other birds/birds that have visited our house so stay tuned!

The kitchen is the place in the home where all the cooking magic happens. It’s also where all the cleaning magic happens afterwards when having to put that mess in order.

Over drab canvas.

A Country Weekend
Two hours north of Sydney, 4 km along a dirt road, having passed through two gates and three creek crossings, to reach a country cottage for the weekend.
The soundtrack accompanying our conversation is only birdsong, the stridulation of insects, and the belches of frogs as sunset leaves us in the blue hour, waiting for the star show.
Our hosts Simon and Gemma with Julie and Gary the photographer, shared a prawn and mango salad, for our first evening meal.
The rest of the weekend party included David and Kimberley.
Simon is thoughtful in conversation in this portrait on the new deck..
The dam on the small property, here pictured in the golden dawn light, is surrounded by ironbarks, ranging from saplings to mature trees.
As an aquaculture experiment, Kimberley has seeded the dam with fingerling yabbies, but there is some concern about the resident Eastern Long Necked Tortoises. Will they devour the yabbies? David casts in a yabbie trap. It will need to be checked every couple of hours for tortoises. There were three caught and rehoused in a nicely flowing creek 300 metres away.
Planted within the past three years in the midst of drought, these bottle brushes have done well.
The evening light on the lichen-covered igneous rocks, the substrate around here.
Going on a bear hunt? Going to catch a big one? No - we are off to check a lawnmower!
Yes, it's a stationary lawnmower fifty metres downhill, and it needs rescuing. Looks like a three-person push effort and a new main drive belt when it gets to the garage.
It might take a millennium for lichens, water wind, and the action of tree roots, and wombats to reduce these natural monuments to sand.

Hello! What top coat would you recommend for nails?
My current stuff is just not holding up to my day-day and chips so fast now since my usual top coat brand went out of business.
Do you have any suggestions? Just plain top coat would be preferred. Love a good holo, but I do nail stamps and don't want to lose some of the design.
Definitely love a holo base for a stamp tho!!!
JUMPS OVER A FENCE
yes!! I actually do have a strong preference, my fav top coat is the ella+mila "in a rush" topcoat. Initially I just picked it up because it's one that's toluene free- but it performs really really well imo! I've tried a few of the other ones people are hype about, and I've tried both of the ones that Holo Taco has, too. (I think they're kinda ass)
The ella+mila one is really good, holds up and dries quickly BUT!! It's my christian duty to tell you that the brush that comes with it is also ass. That's the only complaint I have with it tho!
