I took this using a slow shutter speed to catch the beautiful movement of the grass looking up towards the sky.
Whispering grass…..

Little and large..
I was brought up on the coast in South Wales, UK and I do miss the sea, so visiting Anglesea was both strangely familiar and yet different. Now living in mountain ranges in the southern hemisphere meant I ended up taking a lot of images that day – there was so much to see (and I didn’t have a macro lens when I lived in the UK)!! There will be more to come…
Natural Density Filter!!
Yesterday was a very cold spring morning. The temperature of the dam water would have been considerably higher than the air temperature so it was almost like a steaming bath. The result was the rising sun being filtered through a haze – brings a whole new meaning to ND filter…
Here hare here….
Apologies, I couldn’t resist the title which is a line from one of my favourite films Withnail and I! Hares, in my experience, are difficult creatures to capture in an image – so fast that I generally see their tails flash before me, and then gone. These were a pair that I captured moving on my belly to get a little closer after work last week. One day… 🙂
Sumatran Tigers at Melbourne Zoo.
Last weekend we went to Melbourne Zoo. As regular readers will know, I visit the zoo as often as possible. These tigers are creatures I always make sure that I go to see – I think they are beautiful animals. Sadly, along with many other species, they are critically endangered. According to the WWF, it is estimated that there are less than 400 individuals left in the wild due to deforestation and poaching, which is why, in my opinion, organisations such as Zoos Victoria are so important with their captive breeding programmes. The zoo had four cubs born in February 2010 which can all still be enjoyed there today. Click on each image for a full view.
Beady eye…
Crossing the t’s…
This is one of the trellis systems at work. It is a large block which is nearly 4 Ha in area. I have often seen this image in my mind, and after trying it with a wide-angle lens (which didn’t work) I finally took this at 300 mm which not only has compressed it, but also ‘fits’ the image I had.
Pink furls…
The gentle folds of this delicate rose took my eye as the backlighting caught the textures of the petals.
Unearthed (literally!)…
I have a new theme for the blog which I think will be better suited. Apologies in advance for any odd or blank email notifications – I want to create some different pages with galleries, etc and is work in progress. Please let me know if there are problems viewing it and feedback, as always, is welcome on the new look…..and so to the image today. Not the best technically but this little frog literally missed death by spade by millimetres during some clearing work. I believe it is called a Victorian Frog (Litoria paraewingi) and was about 3 cm long – safely relocated 🙂
