Pic of the Week: Possums out on a late stroll

November 12th 2009 04:21

I saw this adorable couple overhead one night as I was leaving a friend’s place. As it was dark, I couldn’t see a thing on the screen, so I pretty much aimed my camera up in the direction of the small furry balls and took a few snaps. They didn’t seem at all fazed by the flash and they even waited in the same spot while I adjusted the zoom. How accommodating of them!

Pic of the Week: Rock Face

September 30th 2009 03:26

I didn’t notice this until I did the Jenolan Caves post. In all the times that I have been to Jenolan, I don’t know how I could’ve missed the stern face in the rock overlooking the Blue Lake and the road into the caves

Pic of the Week: House on a Misty Mountain

August 19th 2009 03:51

I took this photo one cool afternoon as I was about to leave the Jenolan Caves. Imagine curling up with a cup of hot chocolate in that house, enjoying the view and the peace and quiet. As Liz Lemon would say, “I want to go to there

Steps and Paths

August 8th 2009 02:18

On and on they go…

Another lot of scenery photos taken by running ahead to get clear of other bushwalkers, waiting politely for sweaty people to huff and puff past me, or taken while huffing and puffing on sweaty, wobbly legs

Cool Roots

July 11th 2009 06:33

Twisted bark

I love these incredibly hardy trees. They are absolutely gorgeous and it’s amazing how their roots have sought out the nooks and crannies in rocks and latched on

Looking Up at Birds

May 19th 2009 02:12

Keeping an eye on me…

Trying to find out what bird I’d taken a picture of, I found a handy site by the Australian Museum for identifying birds (see link below). I discovered that the above photo was one of a female Magpie-lark, which by the way has no link to magpies or larks. Ah, the wonders of the internet. Back when I was a young lass, I would have had to go to the library to go through all the books on birds and it would probably still have led to the photo being named “black and white bird”.

Falling Water

May 13th 2009 01:44

Water is something else (besides trees) I often find myself taking too many photos of. When there is any sort of cascading involved, it could get a little out of hand. These are a few photos that were taken at the Blue Mountains

Trees in Decay

April 22nd 2009 02:58

A little morbid perhaps, but I find that even in death, trees can be beautiful. These are some photos of dead trees I’ve accumulated during bushwalks in the Blue Mountains.

The Australian Pelican

April 14th 2009 01:36

Going through my photos, I came across quite a few of pelicans - specifically the Australian Pelican, Pelecanus conspicillatus - which got me wondering why that was.

Precious Trees

February 27th 2009 01:47

I know next to nothing about art (or trees, for that matter), but there is a sculptural appeal to trees that often has me putting my battered, little camera to more work than usual.

Among the tree collection in the Royal Botanic Gardens are ones planted around its establishment some 200 years ago, and other trees which are rare in the wild and difficult to collect today. Shown here is a very small fraction of the trees you’ll find in the 30 hectare Gardens
