While I was tracking a pair of wattlebirds

I spotted something else up the gum tree.

I think he knew he wasn't supposed to be up there.



I like how his coloring 'adopts' the hues around him.

Photography equipment

Seriously thinking about getting a monopod. Tripod is good for set up shots, shots that aren't time sensitive, or long exposure, but it's rather clumsy for scenic shots where you just need a bit of steadiness.

Dozing on freshly turned soil

Instantly alert.

pics taken one right after the other.

Sunrise photos

Rainy mornings can make for some very vivid sunrises.

Taken less than 2 minutes apart. Funnily enough, the earlier one has much more vivid colors.

I turned around to go back into the house, and was presented with a full arc rainbow over the house. I did get pictures of it, but they are very grainy.

It's amazing who you can run into when pillaging (grocery shopping)

I have a thing for recognising and remember faces. Even if they are faces of people I haven't personally met (yet).  Was pillaging with aikidomayland in the Fremantle COLES, and I saw someone. Brain whirled for a nano, and I pegged who it was. I grinned, and said hello to:

Darren Simpson, celeb chef on Channel 10's "Ready, Steady, Cook!"



While waiting for hubby to return, and seeing as I always have a camera with me, I asked if it would ok for me to take photo of him. He suggested that aikidomayland take the pic of the two of us.  I promised him I wasn't stalking him (had seen him in COLES, and said I liked the show, but I was politic enough to NOT say how Peter Everett shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a kitchen, as he is a disaster waiting to happen), and he laughed.  Traded cooking stories, and he said I should come on the show. *chuckle*

Yummmmmm

The house is fragrant with home made, from scratch, banana macadamia nut bread. (inhales deeply)

Warbirds 2008

SciFi Channel original movie. Jurassic Park + Amelia Earhardt + Pitch Black + a pinch of WW2 = Warbirds 2008.

I would have to call it a "Good bad movie", as most of the acting is cheesy (the tossing about of words like Japs, Tojo etc etc), and there is only one type of boring flying dinosaur.

It was good to do a "MST3K" while watching it with friends.

But I do wonder how all these female pilots, out on an uncharted island, in harsh jungle conditions, keep their ruby red lipstick, and don't even chip a nail, after a few days. But I do like how the "Skipper" saves the Colonels' butt on more than one occasion.
