Melbourne always has the most lovely Autumn days and today was definitely one of those. Which truly was a blessing for the event I was about to witness. I was privileged to attend the official opening of the new Anzac Walk this morning at Emerald, Vic. I first heard about it in February via a…

Would you like your garden photographed?
I’m taking bookings for gardens, particularly in the Dandenong Ranges region, but any area in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne is fine. A keen gardener myself, I would delight in photographing your garden and producing images you can keep in print format or digital. Why not have a photo book of your garden? Here are…

We still have some spots available for the nature photography workshop taking place in Victoria in September. But bookings won’t be open for much longer. You can elect to pay a deposit and balance later, or 3 x payments if you book this month. So I encourage you to book now! Full details here.
Visit to a horse stud
In December last we visited one of our daughters who lives in Wangaratta, about 3 hours north of where we live. She offered to take us to the stud she used to work at, on our way back home, and I’m always up for a photo opportunity any time. These are some of the shots…
Birds at Cranbourne Botanical Gardens
At last we get to the birds. I’m told there are 178 species at the gardens and counting but I only had a limited time and not the best light to capture images of all those I did see. So here are a few I saw during my visit there. Sacred (Australian white) ibis flying…
Flora at Cranbourne Botanical Gardens
So now the flora. There was an abundance of plants, bushes, flowers, trees, etc. Such a lovely and stunning place to visit. From bushland that was almost untouched, through to planned and formal gardens, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Visiting Cranbourne Botanical Gardens
There are so many beautiful places to visit on the east side of Melbourne, Australia. On the weekend I went on a photo walk with some fellow bird photographers to the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens. I’d not been there for a few years and knew it had been undergoing some changes. I plan to share with…
Sydney with smoke clouds
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). …

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…
