Thelymitra arenaria / forest sun orchids, was lucky to catch the last of these flowering for the year at the little population in Broadmeadows #photography #orchids #wildoz #ozplants #nativeplants

pollinators visiting Diuris fragrantissima in Laverton. These plants are looking super healthy 2 years after being planted at this site, the 3rd year will be a big indicator of the long term health of this population #orchids #photography #wildoz #ozplants #nativeplants

some beetles having a great time hanging out on some musky caps (Caladenia moschata) in the Brisbane ranges last week #orchids #photography #wildoz #ozplants #nativeplants

some recent photos from a couple spots in the city, including a building with a weird spot of bioluminescence/glow in the dark paint/some kind of slime on the roof, that i didnt notice until editing #photography

Forgot to post these beautiful fellas from a few weeks ago, went on a behind the scenes tour of the Royal Botanic Gardens Vic orchid conservation program, species names in alt text #photography #orchids #conservation

Just had one of those 'Holy moly, here it comes' dumps. Thank God I live alone.

it’s hard to talk politics anymore because the natural response to everything is “oh they should be killed” but you’re not allowed to say it. it’s more illegal than open pedophilia

New holland honeyeater sitting amongst the blossoms on a tree down the street from home, seems like a nice sign that spring is here and its going to stop being so freezing every night #photography #birds

Coming back into August means we're getting into #orchid season. This photo from last year is of a critically endangered Diuris fragrantissima (Sunshine Diuris) at one of the sites where these plants have been reintroduced by conservation groups in areas that they were locally extinct #photography

Went for a bike ride with my camera on sunday afternoon cause it looked like it was going to be a nice sunset. Wasn't disappointed, the golden hour colours in Williamstown were beautiful. Shot on Nikon D850 with a Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 lens #photography #sunset #birds

fsr i've always been kind of obsessed with photos of the surface of the ocean, something about the swirling foam patterns and colours really gets me. This photo from a few years ago i took on a ferry in Tāmaki Makaurau (Aukland) harbor has always been one of my fav photos #photography #ocean

Look at the incredibly amazing camouflage of the ground parrot - Simply unavailable for being seen even when at your feet immediately adjacent a boardwalk 👀❌😂

TONIGHT THE WORLD IS A VAMPIRE This evening on scren.ch, I'm playing Vampire as we raise money for Palestinians still trapped in Gaza. We're starting at 6pm UK and running until midnight. The aim is to help these families afford the rapidly-inflating cost of food for the next few months.

earlier this year some friends and I set up a nursery in my backyard. we've been collecting seeds from local populations of indigenous species to put in gardens and use for revegetation projects. at the moment we have about a dozen species and have grown over 3000 plants in 6 months

a pic from last month of the critically endangered Diuris fragrantissima, on Bunurong/Wurundjeri land. Only found in a handful of sites in the inner western suburbs, there was less than 20 plants remaining in the wild before conservation work done in the last couple of years #orchid #conservation

couple pics from an a trip to collect some seeds this arvo at a tiny remnant grassland reserve at a cemetary in the western suburbs: Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides (Button Wrinklewort), a critically endangered plant in the sunflower family. Also saw this beautiful Meadow Argus stoppoing to take a rest

We're collecting donations via a PayPal at the moment due to an issue with the banks. It's not just that they've all been bombed but that certainly doesn't help. At the moment it's his sole source of income to feed 27 members of his extended family sheltering with him www.paypal.me/MajedAqil
