It would be difficult to get away from here without putting in a Kangaroo! In this case, an Eastern Grey. (If you wanted a Kookaburra, you need to go to my Instagram A-Z! Click the badge on the sidebar.)

I also wanted to acknowledge here some Kindred spirits. Sisters in heart and soul. It is always a ponderment to me that I had to travel to the opposite end of the earth to find my philosophical calling... some would mention the word 'Karma'...

Tricky for Australia, did you think? No, I bring you the beautiful Jacaranda flower. These trees only bloom late November, early December for about four weeks. There is a saying in OZ that if you haven't studied for your exams by the time the jacaranda blooms, it's too late!

I also wish to share with you my other two angel pets, the other 'Js', Jasper Cat and Jet the guinea pig... then a gratuitous picture of the three Js together. Yes, they really did all get along.

This photo was taken in the lounge area of #21a. That's my teacher giving me the wonderful news that I had been accepted for the course of study in India! Indian Influence is seen in my dress and artworks. 2011 - ten years, yet a lifetime and still yet, only yesterday...

Another solo image today. In that garden at #21a, I had some enormous and very old Hydrangeas. The heads were often bigger than my Hand - dinner plate size, indeed!

A simple one for today... all of the Garden of #21a was at the front. There were two side-yards both of which were approached by a Gate!

I did mention Flora and Fauna yesterday... but I also want to present you with the Front of the place I called home for twelve years. Until #21a came along, I was renting. This was my Foothold on property ownership. This had been a returned serviceman's cottage on what had originally been orchard land. It was open to the street - so I had the fence and lychgate raised.

Expanse is the first word that came to mind for the letter e. A variation on 'big'.  It really is Enormous. This I can assure you of, having travelled its breadth and depth - mainly by road!

However, one cannot pass this letter without mentioning Ecology and Environment. Australia is known for its range and diversity of unique flora and fauna. That it is losing a significant part of that at quite some rate is a matter of great concern. 

Callistemon - aka 'bottlebrush'

Tree Ferns grow all over the world, but Dicksonia's are endemic
to the Antipodes and surrounds.
