So here’s some more Africa pics. Random selection from Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. We’re in Perth now and while I’m enjoying being back in my home country, am very much looking forward to being properly home in Melbourne in three days.

And a couple more. One of the gorgeous sunsets, plus ‘bonus’ shot of the scratch/souvenir I got on my lower back/love handle/muffin top from a lion cub, possibly the one pictured above. They were about six months old, rambunctious, muscly and scratchy!

I feel we could all do with some happy-ish cuteness right now. So here’s some quokkas from Rottnest Island, off the Perth coast.

Every time I go by one side of the house I notice this tree in the neighbor’s yard. That’s a black walnut tree, and Wikipedia says that leaf form is pinnate, or feather-like. The way the leaves overlap makes it look like something vibrating, the way an illustrator would draw shaky borders around something quivering. Or like something in contact with the surface of a lake, making ripples. Catches my eye every time.

The Corning Museum of Glass has a furnace can! Wait for it…

Kept looking for the can, wondering what it was for. There are wonderful cans, for sure, but the inanimate kind that people gush over are truly special. Combustors, for example.

Indeed @chgoliz. Cam, not can. Made by adding a sheet of Glass like the kind used on the space shuttle to the back of the glass furnace then putting a well air conditioned camera behind it. It was groovy!!! Highly recommend this museum.

I love photos of places far away from where I am. You post good ones and I appreciate seeing them.
This is where I am. It’s a couple of days ago, but my epyphillum flowered. I missed the first once since they only last a few hours. It’s taken me 15 years to figure out what it was, and what they like enough to flower. When a friend gave it to me it was a stick and a leaf and she couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t dead.
