I’m a sister, wife, mother, grandmother, auntie and friend. I prefer to be outside and am interested in photography, nature and different cultures. I believe everything on this earth has a right to be here but some things and some people would be happiest if their space was far away from mine. (Flies and biting bugs take note!) I don’t like housework and think dust is Nature’s way of saying, “This is my space, I was here first.”

What great photos showing all the wonderful wildlife around your place. Amazing! I especially love your macro shots of the spiders and insects. They’re fantastic! And interesting pic of the young crimson rosella, I would never have known what it was.
Glad you enjoyed the photos. I had to check the Rosella, it’s very different colouring from the adults. Especially glad you like the bugs, most people don’t.
What a wonderful bunch you live with. It reminds me of our last house, it was a privilege to be surrounded by nature.
You’re right, there’s always something to see even if you have to go poking about under rocks to find it. 🙂
Head down bum up like an emu.
🙂 I’m not quite the same shape and definitely not in the same fitness class!
Great gallery. The tawny frogmouth has such a disapproving look on its face. 🙂 Happy 2017!

I agree the Frogmouth looks very disgruntled. Maybe it was just the fact I appeared with a camera again!
