early morning walk near the pony paddock FTP

Early morning work in early Spring up past the pony club paddock and down by the river. There are more scarlet honeyeaters there than I have ever seen in my life before. They are breeding, as we are seeing th eir babies being fed.

Biami Yumba Park 24.08.09

Not so early morning walk...and happened on this pair of wood ducks with chicks. Also saw the feral white ducks...someone must have decided to release them in the lagoon.

Whale Watching in August 2009...from the Australia zoo boat off Mooloolaba harbour. Saw several dolphin swimming ahead of the boat, and lots of whales, none very close.

Coolum Beach

Sunrise photos from Coolum Beach in August 2009. The beach is regenerating after the recent storms.

There have been several foggy mornings this June, and on this morning I took my camera and tried to find some nice things to photograph. It is a quick way to get wet feet.

walk at Biami Yumba 14.6.09

Another morning walk through Biami Yumba park, and on past the pony club grounds and down by the river. It was a beautiful blue sky winter day. There were lots of birds around, but not a lot keen to be recorded for posterity.

The Clare Valley north of Adelaide is a beautiful place to visit early in winter. It is crisp and cool, and the autumn colours in the vineyards are quite spectacular. We went to Maggie Beers for lunch and enjoyed the cooking demonstration. We drove around the district for a few days, sampling wines and foods of the region.
