366 Days of 2012, Day 40 – Little Creature

by

If you met this guy down a dark alley on a moonless night you’d walk right on past. In fact if he was right in front of your eyes you’d still be pressed to notice him. This little creature is tiny, tiny, tiny at a mere 2mm across. I first noticed this little fellow after … Read more

366 Days of 2012, Day 39 – Home Alone

by

For a couple of weeks now we have been entertained by little scratching noises coming through the wall. For even longer there had been a lead-up of diligent nest building. I had hoped to get a photo of these two new additions to our local wildlife while they were newborns but the parents would not … Read more

366 Days of 2012, Day 36 – Eating it off Grange

Waiting for the light to be ‘just’ right while walking around public toilets with a camera is likely to get one arrested in … Read more

by

I have enjoyed many sunsets with friends who tell me hand-on-heart that they have seen that famous green flash on at the last moment of a setting sun. I have also enjoyed many sunsets looking for that green flash which still eludes me. Not surprisingly, last night down at West Beach was no exception. I … Read more

366 Days of 2012, Day 32 – Fish for Dinner

by

I have seen so many people on our beach sit or stand for ages and never seem to catch anything. It reminds me of an anonymous Polynesian proverb I once heard, “The Gods never take from a man’s life the time he spends fishing”. On the other hand I watched this beautiful Great Egret Ardea … Read more
