I’m an aunt, animal lover and writer.
Legend has it that my family found me roaming, bare, in the wild Tasmanian forest and adopted me as a pet.
So, though I’ve learned to adapt to life in an urban jungle, I’m most at home amongst the trees with fur for company.
I love cooking, campfires and creature watching, and hope to inspire others with an appreciation of the wild side of life.

Welcome to my little den. I hope you like it ๐

Hi Alarna! Looking forward to hearing more from you! And Pepi!
Thanks Gabbie! The topics will probably go all over the place, but he will be a frequent participant ๐
Hi Alarna! Thank you for stopping by my blog earlier! Looking forward to getting to know yours!
Yulia
Hey Yulia! So glad to see you here & hope you enjoy ๐
Hi Alarna,
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog
And thank you too! I look forward to reading more from you and the other Ambiguous Words members ๐
The stilly night is falling, Aussie, and the boy with a hat stops writing, and looks through his window at the moon high on the sky, and hopes one of its moonbeams falls on you…
Consider me delightfully basking in a silver ray ๐
I look forward to hearing about Pepi. I have two dogs – a Westie called Harry and a cattle dog crossed with a poodle called Clarke. The two boys always supervise my blog writing. I am a Queeslander but have been to Tassie many times and love it.
cheers Judy ๐
A cattle dog crossed with a poodle? That’s an interesting mix – just saw the picture on your blog – he’s gorgeous! I also spent a few years living in Queensland when my parents decided to leave Tassie for a while. Quite the contrast, but I loved (and miss) the warm ๐
Yes, poor old Clarke, he is 13 now and has cataracts. He was dumped down the end of our street when he was six weeks old. You couldn’t find a more faithful and loving dog. He is such a sweetie. ๐
They always love you more when you rescue them, poor ol’ fella.
I am pleased to tell you that you have been nominated by little old me for the Lovely Blog Award. You can pick up your Award and see the rules for the Award at
http://kipsthoughts.wordpress.com/2012/08/13/lovely-blog-award/
If you have already been nominated for this award, please consider this as an added bonus ๐
Every award and every compliment is a lovely bonus, to me – thank you! I should probably tell you (as per my Awards page) that I don’t typically ‘do’ awards as such. But your thoughtful nomination means a lot – given some time, I will find a way to show you my appreciation… ๐
hello creature-lover ๐
Hi there, mad poet ๐ A delight to see you here ๐
‘Alarna Rose Gray’, that’s a beautiful name, I might have read this name somewhere before, but I don’t remember, where exactly. ๐
Your blue eyes and the blue water behind you gives me a feeling that I should start writing something about it. Everything I write, (although, am a poor writer) I’m sure, would turn out as beautiful as the beautiful thoughts I’ve in my mind, by looking at this sight of yours. ๐
Thank you for the fine compliments, Ramu – I shall try not to *blush* ๐
Nice blog! creative
Thank you! Glad you came by ๐
Such a nice & kind of different introduction , you’ve given ๐ , which creates in turn the lovely blog too ! . . . & finally such a twinkling name also ๐
Nirav . India .
Thank you very much for your kind compliments! ๐ Lovely to meet you – I’ll be over to say hi on your blog soon…
Had to laugh abut the bit of being found wondering around in Tassie! We love camp fires, and camp cooking – was actually out and about on the weekend, but more on that later. Enjoy the “wild”…
Haha – same to you! Sounds great – I’m hoping to get out in the wild over Christmas…(not long now) ๐
Thanks for visit my blog, kisssssssss Fabio.
Mwahhh! ๐
hello, Alarna Rose… thanks for the visit and for leaving traces. much appreciated ๐
hey, am ashamed to confess but i have not read a book, any book from amazon (am i the only one?). do you think i can also have a copy of your book about Pepi for a song? i sing badly but yes, I do, hahaha.
thanks again and warm regards. ~ San
You would be far from the only one who hasn’t read from Amazon – it’s still pretty new to me, truth be told!
No need to sing for the book ๐ Just send me your email and, if you’re so inclined, click follow. It would be my pleasure to send you a copy ๐
Inspiring! you have beautiful energy, I’m glad your name drew me in! I look forward to reading your posts..
Thank you… I’m humbled by that. So glad you found me, as the power of your own story is profound ๐
[ Smiles ] Wow! You have a very interesting blog!
Do keep up the good work!
Oh, thanks for the very kind compliment! I’ll do my best ๐
Hi there Alarna, glad to have found your blog and I look forward to your future posts. We share a lot in common as I love nature and the wild with a deep passion, I spend a lot of time out there. It will be great to have a chat in the future about things, I’m very pleased to meet you and send my best wishes, James ๐
Hi there, James – lovely to meet you. Anyone who says they are a nature lover is a friend of mine! I’ll be over to visit you soon, and thanks for joining me on the journey ๐
My pleasure, Alarna ๐
I would like to inform you that I have nominated you for the Liebster Award. I hope you will accept it. Thanks for everything you do ๏ http://snu4reeces.wordpress.com/2013/05/17/liebster-award-a-bloggers-sign-of-thanks/
Brittany, I’m so sorry I overlooked this so long ago! Thank you for thinking of me. I hope you are well ๐
Hi Alarna,
Would you be willing to participate in something we are doing for Susie Lindau on Friday morning? I am contacting as many of her followers as possible. My thought is that we all post on our own blogs on Friday with the same title, “Susie Strong”. The content would say something simple like, We are thinking of you. I haven’t known Susie for long but this blogging world is such a family. I thought it would be nice for her to see this message from as many of us as possible. Her husband is going to be updating us after her surgery. He can tell her or she can see it once she is up to it. Are you in? Thanks, Maria aka brickhousechick
Hi Maria,
This is a lovely idea – so thoughtful of you! Thanks for contacting me.
Friday is my usual day to post, and though I wasn’t planning to do one this week, I think I’d like to give this a go. Susie’s a wonderful inspiration in the blogosphere…Let me see what I can come up with.
Best
Alarna
Thanks, Alarna! If you could title it, “Susie Strong” that way she will have many posts with this united message! ๐
I love your blogs, your photos are very beautiful. I’ll be back… I also have a second blog on old pictures.

Hi Alarna,
Happy New Year to you and your family! I hope that 2014 brings new discoveries and the thrill of travel to you.
Cheers!
Yulia
Thanks Yulia! Happy New Year to you too – who knows, maybe we might cross paths somewhere around the globe ๐
I love the part about your family finding you in the Tasmanian forest. I’m also happiest whenever around trees or the ocean and have been known to let out an occasional Tarzan yelp. Happy to meet you in this crazy way!
I should give you a “Cooee” (that’s Aussie for a call out to each other, usually in the forest and over a comfortable distance)…A cross between ‘hello’ and ‘come here’ ๐
I like the sound of that (even better than a Tarzan yelp)! ๐
I’m hearing Xena…. ๐
Hi Alarna,
I love to be here on your blog, a masterpiece indeed !!
it’s a very great feeling.
Only an Enlightened soul can have this sort of compassion and love for
Nature, Creatures and ‘Soul in Non-human format’ i.e. Animals.
And you are the one with a golden heart and enlightened mind.
Love the way you portrait each of your post.
Thank you kind sir. It takes a compassionate soul to recognise another…the sort of thing that comes with a certain amount of insomia, does it not? Have a great day! ๐
