Further to my post yesterday I couldn’t get over the colour of the sky when I came out from the trade show on the second day, while visiting Sydney. While the cause of the colour of the sky wasn’t a good reason, the colour itself was a lovely backdrop to the scenery. So many people…

A different view
I was in Sydney last week, for a trade show, relating to my Virtual Assistant business. It was being held at Darling Harbour, near where our annual conference was held earlier in the year. It’s such a lovely place to visit – visually quite beautiful, and very different to my regular surroundings (which I love). …

The Brolgas are dancing
Well, they aren’t really, but every time I hear the word it reminds me of the Christmas Carol, the Carol of the Birds. I learnt it in primary school and it has stuck with me all through my life. The carol is written by John Wheeler and in the first verse it starts “Out on…
Blue faced honeyeater
It never ceases to amaze me the varieties, colours and styles of birdlife that there is. And here in Australia, we certainly have an abundance of them. I love discovering ‘new’ ones and getting shots of them. My normal approach is to get a shot, even if distant, just so I can say I’ve taken…
Beautiful Serendip Sanctuary
Being introduced to this sanctuary on such a beautiful spring day was just perfect. It showed off the place in the best possible way. It was so serene and beautiful and uniquely Australian. If you’ve never visited Australia, or have only visited our cities, then you are truly missing out on the beauty and splendour…
Cape Barren Goose
I’d not seen any of these close up before, but at Serendip Sanctuary there are quite a few there. They even have a breeding area. During one walk-in area there was a mother with its goslings, very cute. And in a more open area with wetlands there were several there, with one having a heated…
A visit to Serendip Sanctuary
On Sunday a small group of photographers went to visit Serendip Sanctuary which is a 227 ha protected area for birds and animals. I’d not heard of it before but am so glad I visited. Such a beautiful place and the weather was lovely for our visit. We are all keen bird photographers so this…
Crested Terns
While at Ricketts Point on Saturday I noticed a number of birds perched on rocks out beyond the rock pools. One of the other photographers headed out that way, his focus was on other things rather than the birds. They all took off into the air and headed in my direction, which was really nice…
Photowalk at Ricketts Point, Beaumaris
