Hidden in the trees chattering away live thousands of budgerigars on the dry desert fringes. They always seem so chirpy and happy to be going about their life with a mate.
One of my absolute favourite birds.

Little critters are usually always cute, and these joeys with their Mum’s at the Blowering Dam in Kosciuszko National Park are true to form.

Sitting amongst other forgotten household pieces were these items of a children’s playground.
No longer are they treasured or able to enjoy the laughter and squeals of children at play. There were probably times too when the hot western Queensland sun on the slippery dip or the crotchety splinters in the see-saw caused other squeals from the little ones.
There are no more laughter or squeals however as they rest forlornly in a distant farm paddock.

The appreciation of life’s simple gifts and rewards will last you all year, unlike the gifts you may find under your tree today.
Here are 10 reflections on life’s gifts I have captured during the year.
1 Enjoying the company of your best friend
2 Soaking up the fresh air at the Hillbilly Hilton on the Noosa River
3 Falling in love again when you never thought you would
4 Caring for someone or something who has lost their way and needs your helping hand
5 Strolling down a country backroad with a favourite person in your life
6 Feeling the rush of the cool fresh water wash over your body from the Kondalilla Falls
7 Blowing an air kiss across the room to someone you love
8 Building a swing to share with others near Lake Weyba
9 Standing back and admiring your Mum and being grateful for all she has done for you
10 Staying strong and recovering from adversity, no matter how harsh
