Asterope

Thanks Daniele, I'll check it out :)

Hi Ava T-B - yes these were done with long exposures. I am going to try a 15 minute or half hour one next and see what happens :)

Thank you martinl :) So many different kinds, its hard to know which one is which!

Love love love slime molds! these are definitely no exception - so pretty!

Something about the australian bush looks so delicate yet so rampant after a bushfire. The ability of so many plants endemic to this continent to just spring back, even lusher than before, after a fire is amazing. The colours in these photos are so evocative too!

So beautiful and delicate

We have these growing out of the horse poop in our vege garden after it rains... hundreds of them!!

Nice!! I came across one of these growing under a eucalypt in open dry schlerophyl forest in Brisbane, and my jaw dropped... I did not think we had these here - I thought they were a northern hemisphere sort of thing :)

Are they common in Vic?

Looks like a Nobbi dragon to me - quite common in suburban gardens. I have seen them go to very athletic lengths to get to pet food/insects buzzing around pet food. Gorgeous little lizards :)

I love these mushrooms - tasty and weird!
I think that article you read was bogus... they are great in stir fries! the texture goes great with all the crunchy veges :)
