FLY WITH ME
Welcome to Thoughts Become Words.com and the many words flying from my keyboard to blog to you.
I hope you can hang around!
“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts” said Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor and philosopher.
So, please swing by my Current Posts (New Posts) category for a birds-eye view of my thoughts as they become seen, take wing in a flurry of words and flutter down onto the page in my AI-free zone.
Alternatively, you can strut through my Past Posts (Older Posts) with the most recent perched at the top of the list. For specific posts, I have a Search box. Also you will see I have three home page tags for About, Bio and Contact pages.
My blog posts are linked by Category/Tags, I have many different topics and opinions covering a range of subjects with individual blog post headings and my own photography where specified.
Flights of fancy and down-to-earth viewpoints are landing now … please read on …

“Arboretum and Kauri Trees Avenue Under Threat June 2026”
After more than a decade of advocacy by FOSA to restore the degraded southern section of the historic century-old Kauri Tree Avenue, Brisbane City Council has decided that the best option is to remove some 38 Kauri trees and replace them with a water-tolerant tree species, such as smaller Paperbarks. The decision will ruin this exceptional avenue of trees which can last for 600 years or more if given appropriate professional care. Why destroy a living legacy to save some money? Such an ill-conceived and short-sighted action against these splendid trees. History of the Kauri Tree Avenue: https://sherwoodarboretum.com.au/discover/discover-our-heritage-trail
