Currawongs calling on our property. They turn up, in numbers, this time of year - early Autumn. Our fig tree is full of fruit and they love visiting. This one is sitting in a Golden Ash tree nearby in the video. Taken with P950.

Week 11 for 52Frames is 'Egg'. mmm, wasn't sure what to do with this one at all. I mean, how many ways can you photograph an egg? Seems there are many ways, once I saw what others were doing.

This is my take on it. It's Autumn here in Australia.

Saw these gorgeous Tawny Frogmouths at the local lake park yesterday. Hiding in the shadows, I saw their form, and zoomed in with my P950.

Went to the Horsefest at Mont De Lancey historic homestead today. Gave me an opportunity to get up close and personal with the horses. Don't you just love how gentle they look?

Thrilled to get 1st place in my photography club's latest Open competition. This is a lake at sunset, taken on a camping holiday last year. Taken with a P950.

I've come across judges, in the past, who poo poo images taken with bridge cameras. But this judge appreciated the image for what it is.

Lotus Flower - I visited the Blue Lotus Water Gardens today. Always a lovely place to visit. Was a stunning clear and still day.

Got this shot of a Eurasian Coot at a local wetlands today. Although it looked like it was in water, based on the drops from its beak, I'd say it was still in mud. Love the reflection too - do you?

Rain, glorious rain. At home today. It's been such a dry summer. Very much needed. Love the sound and smell.

Late Summer in Australia. Our fig tree is laden, the birds have turned up. Here a Silvereye feeds its juvenile from an almost ripened fig. In my garden.

Check out this shot. When I saw this on my computer it became more than just a bee and flower - see the pollen in the air. Amazing! Something you don't see with your eyes but the camera can capture it. Taken with my Nikon D7100 at 1/1000.

Eastern Spinebill in my garden. A small honeyeater, which hovers similarly to hummingbirds. Pretty little birds.
Taken with P950.
