Cooling Off.


It was 38° C with no wind, even the Hawks needed to cool off.

Rainbow Bee- Eater.




These birds have such beautiful colours in the light, unfortunately the sun was too far down when we came across them.

Another Hawk.


The sun was directly behind, hence the pale background, which I quite like.

Bath Time.



This Honeyeater is an unknowing guinea pig for me trying out the different settings on my new camera.

White-plumed Honeyeater.



These delightful little birds are a great source of exercise for the photographer, you need to have great eye sight, be quick at spotting, focusing and hitting the button to capture them!!

Dusty Drive.


It's best to pull over when you see these guys coming, and then wait for the dust to settle so you don't drown in it.

Purple Flowers.


This reminds me of a pastel painting, it's one of the first photos I took with my new camera, a Nikon.

Dust At Dusk.


There was a massive dust cloud at sunset last night, I'm not sure whether cattle were being moved or if it's so dry and dusty at present that the wind got up and decided to shift some of it.

More Pelicans.


I do love these birds, and I'm sad there are not more around here.

Crocodile.


This fella was lurking at the waters edge when we were coming in from a fishing trip up in the Gulf, we were about 60 metres away, and it disappeared when we tried to get closer.

Brolga.


So many Brolgas around here and so calm around traffic!

Seen Better Days ....


... but nice to see a feature has been made of it.

I Can See You ....


These roos were not too shy at all, they tended to stay and watch.
