Can you believe it’s that time already? I deliberately get calendars organised for August each year so that those who wish to post them overseas as Christmas gifts can plan to do so without having a big rush closer to Christmas. I have the two calendars available, one with Scenes and birds of the Dandenong…
Gee, I love my Nikon P950. And if you’re a regular reader here you’ve probably already worked that out. These images are of an Eastern Spinebill in a banksia on our property in Selby taken a couple of days ago. Both shots taken from the same position. The smaller image at 850mm and…
You may, or may not, be aware, that I am a volunteer with our beloved Puffing Billy Railway, taking photos of events for them. For the past two years I’ve photographed their fabulous Train of Lights, firstly chasing the train in 2022 and taking photos from various vantage points along the railway (with my husband…
I’ve been under the weather with a bad cold but am now finally able to start wandering around outside again, for more than 10 minutes. So today, I went for a wander around our property and down into the paddock. Nice to venture further outside. I was down the back listening for birds when suddenly…

I’ve had this blog for a long time but haven’t actively built my subscriber list. So, I’m going to start giving away one prize per month to a lucky new subscriber of that month in an endeavour to grow my list. And if you have been a subscriber for some time, don’t worry, I’ll also…
If you’re a regular attendee to my market stall in Monbulk, you won’t have seen everything, just a selection of items I have available for sale. Not only do I do calendars, jigsaw puzzles, mugs, postcards, books and playing cards, but there are many other things available too. At my RedBubble Shop I have tote…
I was reading a post in a birding forum on Facebook and the poster had shared she’d used the P950 and was just learning bird photography. Lots of discussion, people making suggestions and so on. I thought I’d share with them about my experience, and here is what I said: Noting the post re using…
