(Carpobrotus rossii, commonly known as pig face)

I'm feeling a little swamped at the moment, so apologies if you find me a little sketchier than usual. I've got a cold I just can't quite shake and my pain levels have been up today (could be a weather change on the way?). However, on the whole, things have been going well and I have been surprisingly productive.

Editing has been the biggest thing on my plate--I've got a couple of jobs I'm wrapping up and a few business tasks that are going to keep me busy for a little while.

Last week I took another trip with my family out to the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, so I have more photos to post when I get the chance. I was especially pleased with this batch. The gorgeous weather may have played a part.

The neo-Pagan holiday of Imbolc falls on Friday in the southern hemisphere. I have been making preparations to celebrate on Saturday with a small group of friends. However, I will also be taking Friday off to celebrate on my own. How, I haven't quite decided. It might involve some serious writing or cleaning (or both). I also hope to get some photos of the wattle that's in bloom a couple of blocks away. Fingers crossed that the weather is nice!

Beautiful photo! Sorry to hear you're still feeling under the weather; I hope it abates soon.

Excited to see more Tidbinbilla photos. The one on this post is so vibrant.

Hope you manage to shake off the cold soon!

Thank you! I'll get there sooner or later <3

The flower is from my garden. Pig face is a pretty tenacious succulent.

Thank you! I'm not entirely sure whether it is a cold or hay fever, but either way it should disappear eventually.

"pig face"?

Yeah, I don't get it either.

Some mean early botanist was just picking on it...

It doesn't make much sense otherwise.
