On the way home

I went to this spot a few kilometres from my house, looking for a duck or two to photograph. I’d found them there before. But on this particular day the ducks were nowhere to be found. Instead some cows were having a bath!

Are you looking at me??

Where’s the soap?

I’m staying dry

Out front

Cormorant… We went for a drive looking for birdlife. I found this one showing a bit of tail feather, in the lagoon out front.

He was posing quite proudly for me.

A Bug

It looked like a leaf, a large leaf. When we shifted it onto the flower, we noticed the amazing colour underneath. I guess it’s a stick insect of some kind. I wish I had taken more pictures of it now.

Bluey

In Australia there is a wonderful award winning, animated TV show called Bluey, about a Blue Healer puppy, her mum, dad and sister. As we were driving today, south of Pyramid Hill, we passed some decorated hay bales, portraying the characters. The farmer has produced some other very clever displays, for Queen’s Birthday and Anzac Day

Chicks

These little guys have just popped out of their eggs. One is a guinea fowl the rest are chicken.

Red Browed Finch

This tiny little finch likes the seeds on my Judas Tree. It’s only about 10cm long and is really shy, so I was thrilled to be able to sneak up on it and take its picture.
