I have been remiss with my posts...but work is busy..no excuses I know. Our wet season is almost over which is a little sad. We haven't had a lot of storms, and the ones we have had, have been out of town. I did get out after work one night, and got these great pics.
Last weekend I went out to an area I have visited several times before- Fogg Dam. At the moment the dam is just covered with water,(about 2-3 inches) so is really interesting with lots of birds enjoying the easy pickings flowing with the water. The Egrets were doing the courting/squabbling thing, so managed a few images I liked.
This fellow below is a Comb Crested Jacana- he has enormous feet so he can walk on lily pads. They are extremely timid, so was quite delighted to get this fellow walking across the dam. They are very cute.
This below is part of the dam- an emormous area, usually covered with pink and blue lotus lilies.
Amongst the lilies I found many frogs- large green ones. Also in their hundreds were dragonflies- every colour of the rainbow.
It really is a nature photographer's idea of heaven. I had a great day.
I am looking forward to coming home for Easter- it will be a short visit to help celebrate some dear friends' wedding. I will be back 2 weeks.
I am off to Sydney(twice), Adelaide and Alice Springs (all for work)in the next few months- so the Air Points will be accumulating!!!
take care K
