You don’t see this in the suburbs!
Lovely to look out the window or over the fence here at home to see sights I never saw in the suburbs. I could hear the lazy clip clop of a horse’s hooves and was in time to catch this girl and possibly her brother or a friend riding beside her on their bike as they moved down the street.

Liquidamber in the Winter

This tree is outside my office window and one day last week we actually had some blue sky. A hint of the Spring just around the corner.

Blackbird in the garden
The Blackbirds are hard to get. Any sign of movement a distance away and they hide away under bushes or fly into trees. This one was in the garden outside my office window and I was able to move the net curtain aside very slowly to poke my camera lens through to take these pictures. The closest shots I’ve got of a Blackbird yet.


Toki in the garden
I think Toki is a lovely study when he doesn’t realise I’m watching him. He often follows me around in the garden as I move around with my camera.


Curious parrot
I was watching two Australian King Parrots in my garden and kept a distance so I wouldn’t scare them away. Managed to get a few shots and moved in a bit closer at each click. The male had noticed me and then took off and I thought that was that. Imagine my surprise when he actually flew to the tree I was under and perched above me to see what I was doing.
