Yes, he is wide. Our beloved Toki loves to follow me around when he hasn’t got his face buried in a food bowl. Anyone’s food bowl really – he doesn’t mind. But he does get plenty of exercise and does know how to run. I’ve seen him do it!
Just hanging around
This view has amused me for awhile. A tree without a trunk and branch hanging onto another tree. Would love to know the story behind this one.
Paper Daisy at sunset
I love wandering around our garden in the evenings as the sun is setting. Everything looks so lovely. I got this shot of the Paper Daisy (complete with flies) as the sun was going down one recent evening.
Bright and beautiful Hebe Veronica
I love the greens and purples in this shot. It’s a small bush outside the studio at our home.
Being watched
But is he watching me or me watching him? Smokey enjoying the scrub area at the back of our home.
Noisy Butcher bird
Could hear this squawking which sounded like a baby magpie but once I spied it, I could see it’s not. Wasn’t familiar with this particular bird so had to do some research. Here the youngster is demanding food from its parent but to me it looks big enough to do it for itself.
Puffing Billy Fire Patrol
The Fire Patrol follows after the Puffing Billy on its trips to ensure all is safe, especially in the Summer season. Seems the dog is a regular member of the team.
On the run
Gotta catch up with the others. Moor hen chick, Emerald Lake Park
Wait, you've got something stuck in there
Moor Hen chicks. Taken at Emerald Lake Park
And I was saying…
aw, c’mon, wait for me! Taken at Emerald Lake Park
A Wallaby and Joey III
Now at a slightly safer distance the mother stops to check my progress while her joey hops into the pouch for safety. Another wallaby is feeding nearby. It was early morning and you can see the sunlight outlining them.
A Wallaby and Joey II
As they noticed I was getting closer (to try and get clearer shots) mother decided to turn away and move and joey followed.
