Nature's Place

The Curlew taking a breather in the lightening rain by the verandah. It’s a known safe place amongst the locals. … *Click the pix for a better look.

Until an eagle came into view way above, but not beyond the ladies capacity to see – with her chick about.

There’s also a little food to be had, when the need is apparent. Lorrie would definitely agree.

Little Joey under the protection of his mum. We get to know them but they remain wild enough to know their own ways.

You can see it in and behind the eye, there’s an absence of any selfish calculation, an innocence. That’s nature …

One Lorikeet came to pose for me a while. Nice light, gorgeous colours, and nice contrast to background.

We do our best, whoever we are. And our best comes back to us. As it is in every other way, a bit of luck.

Ooh, look over there!

Nope, here is where the action is. Here and now … Til next time.

Kookaburra, herald of the morning sun. Spies something in the grass. — Click the pix for a bigger version.

A beauty. Whip snake, colourful creature, exposed but aware in the open grass, of a Kookaburra looking on.

But the Kookaburra knows better than to tangle with this four foot snake. Not worth the risk of serious injury.

One caught out in the rain … lots of that lately, rainy days.

Hello Kookie … in the setting sun.

Posing for a few shots … on a windy day.

It’s not often I get the opportunity to shoot a dragonfly these days. Not many hereabouts.

Gone moldy in the humid weather are my various achromats/macro-lenses suitable for the work.

So the telephoto lens will have to do. Not so sharp, nor close up, but good enough.
