WHERE HAVE I BEEN Placeholder

WHERE HAVE I BEEN

A closer look at the tiny world 🕷🐞🦗🐝🐌🪰 (Apologies if you don’t like spiders 🤍)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Insects create the foundation for all ecosystems that exist on Planet Earth. They cycle nutrients, pollinate flora, disperse seeds, maintain healthy soil and are simply the glue that holds us all together. They’re a natural fear for a lot of humans, but I think they’re worthy of a little extra love (even if from afar).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They may be tiny, but they help us exist… That’s pretty special if you ask me 🌏

Nothing more Aussie than the Kookaburra, right? 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Captured in Gadubanud Country, when this fella posed patiently on our balcony like the true masterpiece that he is... They’re special birds for such good reason✨

Soaring… 🌊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s currently Earth month — a period of time that often breeds greenwashing and burnout, but also a wonderful opportunity to learn, amplify, and connect a little deeper with Planet Earth (so that we can care for it every day, week, and month of the year) 🌏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From changing to a more sustainable bank, amplifying the work of environmentalists and Indigenous peoples, boycotting fast fashion, voting consciously, or simply spending more time with your feet in the soil… I do hope that you can find a way to give a little extra love to our magical home, no matter how big or small 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“When we connect, we care. When we care, we protect” ✨

Zebra layers 🦓
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Fun fact: A group of zebras is called a “Dazzle” ✨ Named after the motion created when they run together in a group/the way their stripes dazzle in the sun 🥺
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think that makes me love them even more 🤍

Moon rise VS moon set — taken 10 hours apart 🌕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From one of my favorite overnight hikes in Victoria’s high country ⛰ It wasn’t until looking back at these images side by side that I noticed that the moon had rotated 90 degrees. Is this just the change in where I was facing? Does the moon rotate on its axis? I have zero explanations and so many questions 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📍Jaitmatang Country

Look at that little smile 🐨🥺
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last month the Koala was listed as an endangered species across the east coast of Australia. 💔 Just a decade ago they were thriving — now their population has been ravished by disease, habitat destruction and the devastating impacts of climate change (drought, bushfires, floods, and the reduction of eucalyptus quality).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All life on this planet depends on us and how we care for the Earth… There’s a whole lot at stake 🌍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS. Don’t worry, I made sure this guy got off the road safely 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📍Gadubanud Country

The most beautiful long snoot 🎣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— A reminder to support your local/the global community in some way today if you’re able to ❤️‍🩹 Purchase from an Etsy store in Ukraine, donate to flood relief, support Indigenous frontline communities, buy a print from @darkroom in support of @wckitchen etc etc.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Speak up, protest, volunteer your time… Anything that is within your means.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“In most moments, all people ask is that you raise your voice ... Raise your damn voice because the sound of one may not seem loud - but the echo of nations will shatter the hatred in this world” — @glographics 🌎

Where the rainforest meets the reef 🌿🐠🐊✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Last year the Daintree Rainforest was finally handed back to its true custodians, the Kuku-Yalanji People, which is a major win… 💚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s the oldest rainforest on Earth (180 million years old 🤯) and full of beauty and wisdom that is simply unmatched. I think it might be my favorite place in all of Australia… A literal green dream 💫

A photoshoot with a female locust 🌱💁🏼‍♀️💚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whilst they may be rather photogenic, these insects can also be VERY destructive… The warming climate has resulted in a record number of locust swarms; destroying crops and causing major agricultural damage along the way (which is extremely harmful to many communities around the world).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— The goal of my work is always to encourage you to look deeper; whether that’s at a certain species, at the nature in your nearby surroundings, at the relationship we have with the planet we call home…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes that involves things that are more well-known, and other times it involves a big green grasshopper 🥲🤷🏼‍♀️

A moment with the moon 🌘
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Currently in isolation (🦠😣) but I’m thankful for the beautiful moon that allows me to keep my creativity alive no matter where I might be 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are lucky to have her, even if from afar 🌜
