Racehorse goanna up a tree


This gorgeous goanna ran up a tree in the back yard when we were walking there this morning. Such a magnificent creature. Look at that skin! (Be sure to click on this pic to get a close up) I was torn between moving closer to get a better look or leaving him in peace on the tree in what no doubt is "his' back yard too. Curt blocked the hole in the roof so he doesn't live in our ceiling anymore so the least we can do is leave him in peace in his own home. Fair trade.
Nothing much going on this week. Curt's been mending things, gutters and hot water systems, I carted several bags of mushroom compost up the stairs and planted all kinds of seeds. Cucumber, basil, sunflowers, okra, nastursium, sweet potato...lots of little heads popping up this week. So lovely.
Everythings become so greeeeeeen with the rains. And those jacaranda trees are starting to bud up. Little leaves appearing on the grape vine. Buds all over the mango trees. Frog noises coming from the valley. Life is good.
