Day 187- View from a moving car


I have wanted to take a picture of the landscape viewed from Cunningham's gap for the better part of a decade.  THe problem is it's a narrow two lane "highway"with little in the way of shoulder (and large chunk of that fell off a couple years ago) and nowhere to stop that has a view.  Solution- burst shots from the new camera.   There a lot of blurry shots of trees and road signs for this one- which still isn't the best.

Day 186- Bird


4 July 2012- Sometimes living in Australia brings about moments that are hard to believe. There were about 20 of these birds just hanging out in the trees here. Yes, the owner was encouraging them to do so by providing food, but these are wild birds!  Not something you see everyday in the USA or UK. In all fairness, Australians are often amazed/gobsmacked by things like rabbits or squirrels.  Squirrels don't exist here, and I don't think anyone was silly enough to try and import them.
