A Very Happy 2012 To You All.

My favourite birds, hopefully flying into a better year ......

Salt & Pepper Moth.

I was practising using the tele lens for a close up of this moth and was pleasantly surprised to see it was quite colourful. more details here

Approaching Storm.

Unfortunately this skirted around us.

Lightning.

Our first thunderstorm this season and NO rain!

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Thank you all for your support, and I do hope Santa treats you well.

Basking Mud Skipper.

These fellas have quite an active life ... fighting each other over an ant that got too close to the waters edge.

Going Fishing With Dad.

We found another fishing spot this morning, but didn't have our fishing gear with us! It was great to see dad taking his young daughter out with him, she's apparently a great fisherman.

Smoking Cane.

The cane still smoking after the fire.

Alligator Garfish.

This was taken in the shallows of our local fishing spot without a polarising filter. I've just invested in one, so I now have to wait for my next lot of days off to get out there again.

Sunrise Over the Coral Sea.

This lot of days off we're relaxing by the sea, and boy is it beautiful!

Todays Pic.

This crop is about to be harvested and the Hawk is looking for a meal.

What A Sunset!

There had been a few cane fires prior to sunset.

On The Way .....

... to our favourite fishing spot, it's about a 30 min. drive.

A Bug.

It was fascinating to watch this beastie removing the stones and then digging itself a home.
