May 30, 2011 by madahmas. When despair for the world grows in me. And I wake in the night at the least sound. I go and lie down where the wood drake. Rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things. Who do not tax their lives with forethought. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars.

Thursday, March 2, 2017. In the past, I would have been sharing winter scenes this time of year. Aside from a ski trip or two out west with The Professor, I will happily be spending my winters in glorious Florida sunshine. Which has been greatly neglected over the past year. In January, the photo club had a fun excursion in Ybor City, a historic neighborhood of Tampa. Although I had been there before, it was fun to see it through my lens.

Hopefully things are getting back to normal; where has the year gone, nearly half way through 2017! Gheerulla is an area near Kenilworth in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. I have been trying to get a decent photo of the Rufous Fantail for many years, and at long last got one. The Rufous Fantail is not an easy bird to get photos of.

Straddie again, sorry for the delay in this post as I have been ill for a few weeks but am on the mend now thanks to my mum - she made me go to the doctor. Well it was a great trip this time although not as many sea birds as in the seagulls and terns, although the Pied Oystercatchers were up in numbers from previous months. There were also quite a few pelicans around on Flinders Beach this time, and this particular one was feeding near some local fisher folk.

My ramblings and photos from the most beautiful place in the world. Monday, 29 December 2014. Nothing wrong with that? Links to this post. Monday, 22 December 2014. Lake Helios Panorama - North to Mount Ossa.

It was a really nice walk and one that we had not done before, so it was really good to find something different in a place that was visited so often. A few photos taken last sunday on a beautiful day the gardens were full of colour and the smell of the flowers too were brilliant. Tuesday, May 15, 2012. Sunday, 22 April 2012. Sunday, April 22, 2012.
