And here are some more, a couple of water birds and a tiny wren. Superb fairy-wren. Think this was a male. White-faced Grey Heron. It watched me carefully, trying to weigh up whether to fly off or continue foraging. I moved away and left it in peace after I got a couple of shots. Female…
More birds I saw at the park last week. The last two are water birds although the Lapwings are frequently found near water too. The Masked Lapwing (formerly known as the Masked Plover) Purple Swamp Hen Little Pied Cormorant P.S. Who do you know in Victoria that would like to improve their nature photography skills…
Recently visited Lilydale Lake Park and there were quite a few different species of birds there. Here are some of them. The Australian White Ibis. Quite the scavenger wherever humans hang out. The short-billed (or Little) Corella. Very noisy birds when in flocks together. P.S. Who do you know in Victoria that would like to…
Have been taking interest in sunrise and sunset and the same for the moon – rising and setting. Here are some more images relating to these. Facing east from Belgrave-Hallam Road. Facing west around the same time. And a short time later facing East again And a couple of days later, the full moon setting…
I attend a regular weekly business networking meeting at 7am each Thursday. With winter not far away, here in Melbourne, Australia, the mornings are quite dark when I’m on my way to this event. It’s about a 20 minute trip for me but the view is well worth it once I arrive as I get…
The race is on again! It was a cold and wet morning but fortunately not too heavy or too windy while we waited at Menzies Creek Station for the first runners to come through. Hubby and I were there approx 45 mins and there were a few others there too, rugged up to keep warm…

It’s Autumn here in Australia and my favourite season. I love the colours of the trees as they change and there are lots of Autumn flowers. The weather has some occasional warmth and is cooler in the evenings and we’ve been getting rain! A good time to get back out in the garden, weed, plant,…
Some more images of mushrooms (or toadstools) in our garden. And a reminder that you can join our Facebook group about mushrooms, if you have an interest in them. Don’t forget we have the Steve Parish Nature Photography Workshop happening in Victoria on 20/21 September 2014. Hope to see you there!
I love taking photos of mushrooms but have no idea what most of them are. And trying to identify them is a challenge if you can’t find a site online that helps you do this. I look at Google images and then click on images that are similar to the ones I’ve taken, in the…
There were a variety of lakes there, large and small. Some just had one colour of water plants and others had a variety. This is the last of this series. Make a note to visit this beautiful garden at the end of the year or early next year, if you’re in the area. They also…
The birds were mostly elusive but there were some that came out to play. Some of the photography group that went with me got a lot more images of birds but here are some I saw whilst visiting there. This is Freddie, as named by the owners of the garden. He’s a regular visitor there,…
