Australia Day Sunset

January 26th 2012 12:31

... and some sunsets produce a blaze of colour ...

... Australia Day ends in a blaze of colour ...

Every year Australia Day is celebrated in Australia on the 26th January. This year Perth has experienced an extremely hot day, with most of its population sweltering in record heat. A lot of families headed for our world renowned beaches in an effort to keep cool. Fewer families than usual headed for the Swan River for a family picnic.

The day ended with this beautiful sunset.

... sinking slowly ...

... two minutes later ...

... one minute later ...

*** look ... and admire ... and be uplifted ...

Rottnest Island - The Peacock

November 21st 2011 12:42

Rottnest Island ... as proud as a peacock ...

While visiting Rottnest Island recently we were thrilled when the resident peacock decided to display his beautiful, iridescent tail.

... splendid ...

As the cameras clicked, the peacock's demeanour oozed confidence. He knew everyone was enraptured with his display.

... magnificent ...

... lavish ...

... grand ...

... I'm turning ...

... look at my back ...

... enough is enough ...

Peacocks are large, colourful pheasants.
Together, peacocks and peahens are called peafowl.
Peafowl are ground feeders. They eat seeds, insects, plants and small creatures.
They nest on the ground and lay 3-5 eggs.

*** one of nature's joys ***

Nature's Canvas - The Beach

October 21st 2011 00:13

Today I walked along the beach ...

When we arrived at the beach this afternoon we were disappointed to see it was strewn with seaweed. Yesterday the ocean had been wild and the huge, crashing waves had dumped the seaweed as far as the eye could see.
I didn't expect to see anything inspiring, but as we walked along I was pleasantly surprised ...

Nature's Canvas ...

*** ENJOY ***

... and so ends another stimulating walk ...

... look until you see ...

Bottle brush

October 11th 2011 05:46

... and some trees are a blaze of colour ...

This morning we dropped our car off for its scheduled service and decided to walk the 9 kms home so we would 'clock up' our daily exercise. The bottle brush are magnificent in Perth this year, so I decided to take my camera along and enhance our journey by taking photographs of these eye-catching trees
