This rose is barely 1 cm across, quite a lovely little bloomer.
Thank you for the awesome support and comments here about the situation in Australia.
Yesterday turned out to be one of the worst in all the horror we have been facing with the death of amazing rescuers and the loss of an entire colony and sanctuary.
This morning my day started by a rescue call, just 750 metres away from the property at 6am.
A stunning, perfectly healthy young male koala, around 3 years old. Head completely flattened by a car. Just 500 m inside a SLOW DOWN KOALA ZONE complete with huge signs, road painting and flashing vehicle responsive lights.
No matter how much has been lost, how bad it all is, they are still being killed at the same rate by everything else that was taking them out before the fires started.
I put forward as much positivity and hope as possible, but today was another really hard one. Thanks for listening.
Such horrendous times and an added terrible situation to bear - Katerina ! But this little rose is a symbol of resilience and hope - Such a perfect little rose , beautifully captured and presented - fav
So sorry to read this Katrina, my heart goes out to you. As if the fires are not bad enough! A gorgeous shot of this beautiful rose. We can all only hope for a better and safer future 🐨
Oh Katrina - that is so awful. You are so strong to be able to do what you do. In you the koalas really do have an amazing champion and I am in awe of your work.
I am so saddened by what is happening and what you are dealing with daily. You are making a positive difference.
A comforting verse is from Psalm 56:8 NLT, You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.
such an awful situation to deal with.. I did hear about the american firefighters death on the news. Extraordinarily sad.
