Last summer I spotted some Wattlebirds flying about & managed to capture one of them landing. I try not to go nuts with filters, but I’m making an exception, as I’d happily wear either of the two altered images on a t-shirt. My original intent in editing was to create a less detailed image for a beer label. We … Continue reading Wattlebird T-shirt? – 3 photos
It seemed wise to let Nanook inspect the yard BEFORE I mowed. Otherwise she would end up in the yard afterwards. Leaving us with a green & black dog for a while. Continue reading Nanook braves the wilds
Guinea Pig Taun Taun pulls a reverse parrot manoeuvre on Justine’s shoulder. Most of her piggies like to spend time there. Taun Taun’s breed is known as Sheba. Related articles Fresh Guinea Pigs!

Back in September I harassed a Bee & a Crane Fly. One while he worked, the other while he did push ups on branches in the early evening. Someone will have to explain to me why Crane Flies do that push up thing. Are they limbering up for something intense that occurs after sundown? NINE … Continue reading Bee in blossom and Crane Fly workout – 9 photos
Thought I’d test out the abilities of my new Olympus OM-D E-M1 to take photos by remote control through an iPad or iPhone. I took this shot on our last business day before Christmas. The iOS app didn’t help me frame the shot or zoom, so that was a bit of a guess. Everything else … Continue reading Lazy Christmas gnome waits for the bus
While editing photos from a recent festival, I noticed this guy sitting calmly outside my study & took a few shots. FIVE PHOTOS TELL THE STORY. I expect we’re all used to creatures darting away when we’re milliseconds from “the perfect shot”. I upgraded to an Olympus OM-D E-M1 a less than a month ago, … Continue reading Injured Indian Myna – 5 photos
In mid-November my girlfriend bought a guinea pig. Then another, then another. NINE PHOTOS TELL THE STORY. These shots were among the last I took with my recently retired Olympus E-620 using an Olympus 14-54mm f2.8-3.5 & an Olympus ED 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 lenses. Nibbler (the pink-eared B&W fella), Taun Taun (the excessively hairy grey chap) & Blarp … Continue reading Fresh Guinea Pigs! – 9 photos
I stepped on several small and pointy objects while scrambling to get my tripod in a decent spot after noticing how intense the sunset was yesterday. Well worth the trouble. A summer benefit, I guess. Continue reading Skyline at Dusk
15 photos tell the story. The Upwey Grassroots Market was on last weekend & I’d been nested firmly in the house most of the week. So it was nice to get outside for some sun & coffee at the Magpie Cafe. I haven’t been to the market often & it’s been MIA for a little … Continue reading Upwey Grassroots Market – 23rd November 2013 – 15 photos
Zoidberg does this often, usually without paparazzi. He tears off out the doggie door & tests out his suspension. He slipped at the last second, most likely stunting this bound’s intended pinnacle, but was still able to balance for the jump. Nice work, Zed.
