Abortions and Carrots are probably not the words that come to mind when viewing this image. Yes, the southern emu wren is cute as, but that plant it is on is called queen annes lace. It is the original carrot. Way back this plant was used for abortions, by making a tea from its poisonous roots.

Most mornings the closest I can get to an alpine dingo is a kilometre, other times it’s almost too close. One of this year’s pups cussing out if I was camouflaged edible or camouflaged scary. 📸 Nikon z9 👁️ Nikon z 800mm PF f6.3 @nikonaustralia @charlesdavisgallery
