Wave!

It really was just having a feed but you never know it could have been waving!................2019-04-01T13:00:00.000Z

After a long journey home. This was beside the front gate. Guess its been raining here.................2019-04-06T13:00:00.000Z

Two Bees

These flowers are staked and well over two metres tall. Not sure what they are but the bees love them. They tend to drop towards the ground so not a lot of light to show their beauty.................2019-05-15T14:00:00.000Z

Crimson Rosellas in a farm paddock.

Driving around Gloucester in NSW these Crimson Rosella's seemed to be eating grass or grass seeds. A lot of the time they were hidden by the tall grass so it was a game of wait and hope not to frighten them away.................2019-05-16T14:00:00.000Z

Another animal that was unsure of the camera!

To me these are stunning animals. Although I would not like to get too close really. With a fence between us I felt perfectly safe.................2019-05-17T14:00:00.000Z

Sun reflection.

Tiny yellow flowers.

This Assassin bug was so difficult to photograph. Not the most pleasant of bugs to see.................2019-05-29T14:00:00.000Z
