Almost didn’t see you there
…hiding up in that gum tree. It’s a white cockatoo.


I live in Patho, Australia.
…hiding up in that gum tree. It’s a white cockatoo.


I’m following the growth of these Darters in a nest close to my house. They are becoming more adventurous and were out of the nest as I approached. They scrambled back to the nest and were more interested in waiting for mum to return than to bother about me. Mum was sitting on a log watching, and didn’t come by while I was waiting.

They are still downy, but and really growing, gaining weight and strength. And they are still hungry!



More photos of the darters. When they were very young. and the rest of the family.
I wonder who this could be, hiding in the shadows… He was watching me taking bird photos.

Hope you like this shot Pa. Thinking of you on your birthday.

This shot was taken at the Torrumbarry Weir, 10 km from where I live.
I love how the color fades out towards the edges to a pale ruffle.

Another picture from my garden, the first agapanthus this season.

Three ducks swimming along.

A beautiful rose

I can’t believe that Spring has passed so quickly. Summer is beginning to heat up and my Sunflowers are in various stages of growth.
Here’s a shy one, almost flowering.

The flower buds are beautiful too

Beautiful, even in black and white.

But best of all is the the colour of the flower in full bloom.

Be Original!
Drop in and stay awhile
