nature

somewhere in the lakedistrict

i’ve still got a pile of photos to post going back almost a year. it would be poor to post something over a year old (even if i’ve not posted it before), so i should really clear out some of the backlog.
anyway, here’s a picture of the lakedistrict from last august !

kezia in a tree trap

stingers

kezia got stung by stingers/stingas last weekend and i found a doc leaf for her. she thought it brilliant. (because they are brilliant).

esther and kezia have magnifying glasses as part of their going-for-a-walk kit. the idea is they are meant to be used for looking at small insects.
instead esther decided to do some detective work to see if she could fathom which animal had been here recently.
alimentary my dear whats on.

definately worth a visit. beware of camera lens envy if you do go though – it’s absolutely packed with photographers with long lenses trying to get their perfect bird shots.

crazy red moon

i don’t usually post at this time of night, but i thought i’d share this photo of the moon i just took with my Sony compact camera out of the window. no editing, just a massive crop.

i’m quite pleased with it. now if only i had a telephoto lense for my Canon and knew how to drive it properly …
