One weekend we visited the George Tindale Garden in Kallista. The autumn colours were gorgeous and I hope you enjoy these photos of what we saw there.


In Kallista there are beautiful gardens to visit. This was in the Gordon Tinsdale Gardens and the whole place was very colourful and beautiful.

Graham and I found this path that travelled alongside the Kallista-Emerald Road and we walked along a portion of it. It was quite damp and we walked single-file. You can see in the photo below that the trees were very tall – my husband looks dwarfed amongst them.

Especially for my American and Canadian friends, two roos that were close to my car as I came back from my walk on Thursday. Sometimes I can get almost close enough to touch them, but I don’t. They’re wild animals, could react in a way that would not be pleasant at all, and I don’t [...]
Hello, my name is Kathie. I've enjoyed photography since my teen years but didn't take it seriously until a few years ago.
A photo of a blue banded bee I took led me to a path of discovery. I began researching to find out what kind of bee it was. I've actually learnt lots of things since that day and can now name almost every bird in this region and identify it by its call too. Apart from improving my skills in photography and learning more about my camera, lighting, settings, etc, I've learnt so much more about the environment in which I live. [Read More …]
