Giraffe Triple Threat

Why couldn't they turn around and pose for the cameras?

Africa Rewind

Having neglected to post much of my footage from my recent African trip, I'll try to make up for it now.

Here's a hungry hyena, lurking not far from a buffalo carcass, waiting for the lions to finish.

Wild Tulips?

Or daisies perhaps?

World Exclusive - Newly Discovered Orchids

Orchids. Unidentified. I will name them Baggy Pants Orchids.

Grevillea Incognita

Note the blue clumps of lechenaultia in the background.

Bungendore Park

Last week's expedition past Armadale to Bungendore Park yielded some decent orchid shots.

Muddy Moon

An early shot, with some colour still left in the evening sky.

Bloody Moon

Some clouds threatened to obscure the spectacle, but never got closer than this.

Blood Moon

With my zoom lens and tripod, I staked out a site on the hill above Lake Monger to capture a sequence of shots showing the blood moon. This is after the maximum of the eclipse, as the moon started to emerge out of earth's shadow.

Pimeleas?

Both pink and white varieties intermingled.

Bob Tail Guard

He was closely guarding the homeward path.

Mighty Banksia

On the whole tree, this was the only flower still lit by the sun.

Double Bees

Friendly Biting

Two cockatoos up a gum tree.

Crazy Orchid

Butterfly Time

Peregrine on a Tree

Some bird of prey.

Pixie Mop

At first I thought this was an isopogon. But I've now identified it as a Pixie Mop (Petrophile linearis)

Bold Park Expedition

Lost in Bold Park this afternoon, here was a patch of seedy grasses.

Croggy Sogman

Taken with my iPhone 7. Edited with Camera+.

Soggy Crossman

Another rural landscape from the Crossman area, from Monday's soggy road trip.

Dino Rampage

Visiting a Woodland residence today, a devastating dinosaur was on the rampage, making quite a mess of the kitchen. Luckily a fearless doggy was there to scare it off.

Jumping with Joy

At one point, a small creek needed crossing. So I jumped across acrobatically. Please note the joy on my face.

Odd One Out

Closely examine these three horses from Crossman. One is different.

Another Fungal Couple
