White Faced Heron
He might have long legs but his wings are also impressive.

Eye spy with my little eye, something hiding in a burrow.

No, don’t notice me. Maybe if I stay here really still I’ll be safe.

Or maybe not!

I usually have trouble growing these, but this year I have this one plant with this beautiful flower.



I wonder what this might be.
I’m interested in all guesses
There is a hint in the second photo, if you give up on the first!
Good luck!


I ‘m sorry, but I’ve got no idea. It was in the garden…..

I heard them before I saw them, two little birds safely high up in a gum tree. No wonder they’re called Noisy Miners.

What a cute little pair.

I wonder what they were saying to each other.

Yes they are really good friends

I finally managed to capture a bee-eater in flight. These two got my attention. One would fly off, presumably to catch a bug, and then return to the other. Maybe it was feeding it because they seemed to share the food. After a while I realised that if I just waited and held my breath, with my finger on the button, eventually I might be able to catch one in flight.




Needless to say, I have many pics of a single bird, having been too slow or simply missing my chance. But I’m so pleased to have these.
This was growing beside a grave in an old cemetery. It must be hardy, because it was all quite neglected.

Frolicking by the edge of the water. I took these on a recent camping trip.

I thought they might quarrel over territory but they seemed happy to be together.




I threw down seed in hopes of some different flowers. Here’s my cream Californian Poppy. You might like to compare it to my others here.
