Heard a Brown Thornbill in the bush outside my office window and when I went to investigate found this cute little bub sleeping in the bush but waking up whenever mum would pop in with some food. What a way to live – the baby has it made! Isn’t it a cutie?

Shooting Birds II
I shared a couple of shots two days ago taken at Lysterfield Lake Park after attending a 2 day photography workshop. Here’s a series of shots I took on the same day of a young wattle bird. It was preoccupied with preening itself so didn’t really notice me as I slowly moved closer. When it…
Shooting birds
I went to a 2 day photography workshop last weekend with Steve Parish, Darran Leal and Mark Galer. Learnt heaps, met other keen photographers and went home to apply my new settings and purchase Lightroom 4. Have a lot of learning and practicing to do. However, I was out Monday morning shooting birds (my favourite…

Why people should not walk dogs in conservation parks
Take a look at this poor kangaroo. When I saw it I thought it might have been diseased and took photos to send to park rangers so they could capture it for treatment to ensure that other roos weren’t going to get infected too. What I found out once showing the photo to the Parks…
Flying home…
Or somewhere. I heard their call and looked up in time to see them flying by, too far to get a good close up. These are yellow-tailed cockatoos. I know by their shape and their call. Lovely birds.
Horse Eventing
I’ve often thought I’d love to do horse eventing shots. I had two daughters doing events over 12 years ago but, at that stage, I didn’t have the camera I had now, and although I took a few shots, wasn’t as obsessed with photography then. Wish I was! I could have had some great shots…
A study of dogs
Periodically I like to pick on a subject and get shots through the day of that one subject. In this case, dogs. I was recently at the Seville Festival and the day was rather slow so spent time checking out all the dogs that passed by my stall. These are some of them. And this…
Australian gum trees
I love the look of the Australian gum trees. They’re often very tall and straight, and other times they seem to twist and turn and develop a character all their own. There’s something very special about the way the look and I love it. I took these shots yesterday, trying out my ‘new’ D60 camera…
