Finding Calm...

Only a short 10 minute drive away is one of my favourite places to to find calm, peace & solace when life gets crazy... and of course, I take my camera with me.

Wild Bird Wednesday: Noisy Friar Bird

This Noisy Friar Bird visitis our backyard Grevillea several times a day. It has proven to be very elusive, hiding amongst the branches and sometimes flying away while I am getting my camera ready or just as I slide open the back door.



So one day, I had my camera ready, settings right, and I waited in the doorway...




Ha!! Got you!! Of course, I'll keep trying for more, without the leaves across it's beak...

Macro Winter Poppies

I took these macros in July, when I borrowed my friends macro lens for a week. I love the tiny details you are able to capture; details unseen by the human eye.

Wild Bird Wednesday: Brown Honeyeater

I discovered this Brown Honeyeater (thanks for the ID, Mick) on one of our trips to a lovely man-made lake with lots of birdlife. It wasn't too impressed having it's photo taken and didn't stay for long. Sorry for the image quality.
