Nature photographer, especially birds. Trying to find beauty and humor everywhere. Learning to draw and paint nature. All photos my own unless otherwise stated.
Our first view of Rainbow Lorikeets was at St. Kilda in Melbourne. We were in awe of their colors and personality. #Australia 🪶
We spotted large Eastern Gray Kangaroos right away when a bird guide took us to Dandenong Ranges National Park outside Melbourne. We were pretty excited to have such a close encounter. #wildlife #Australia
Digeri is back home with Cheesecake. Many pics of Australian birds and animals to follow soon. #catsofbluesky
Digeri is waiting to go to the Cairns airport to back home. We’ll finally get that day back that we lost on the way to Australia.
This is what Digeri was doing today and is grateful to have survived snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef on a choppy day. 😬
So this happened today! We saw a Cassowary on the last day of our tour with FNQ Nature Tours!! 🪶
Striped Possum and Krefft’s Gliders at the nocturnal viewing platform at Chambers Wildlife Rainforest Lodge in Queensland. Australia has such fascinating marsupials. #wildlife
Here’s some signs that we don’t see back home. Currently on a 5 day bird tour in Queensland. So far we’ve seen a 4-5 month old Cassowary. 🪶 #Australia
Sulphur-crested Cockatoo. They are everywhere and announce their presence loudly! #Australia #Sydney 🪶
Hello from Sydney! We did a day birding trip to Royal National Park and I got to see and hear a Laughing Kookaburra. 🪶
It’s #Caturday and while we are away in Australia Cheesecake is exuding cuteness and Crazy Larry has laid claim to our bed.
Digeri spent more time hanging out at the fabulous Royal Botanical Gardens in Melbourne. #flowers #Australia
Here are some images from a light show at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Melbourne Australia.
We saw the Twelve Apostles and London Bridge along the Great Ocean Road. So in 1990 the left arch of the bridge collapsed, people on the right side had to be rescued. 😱 #Australia
We visited the Western Treatment Plant with a guide and saw an Orange-bellied Parrot, one of the most endangered birds. Fingers crossed that my photos are in focus. 🪶
We saw Black Swans today at the Royal Botanical Garden in Melbourne. So gorgeous. 🪶
Since Melbourne is known for its coffee shops we had to try one.
We made it to Melbourne, Australia and are looking forward to Kangaroos and Kookaburras. In the meantime Digeri is having a Greek lager.
Since we can’t take Cheesecake or Crazy Larry on our trip to Australia, Didgieri will let you know what we’re doing.
It's a beautiful Blue Sky Monday! For me this is the quintessential summer day.
It’s #Caturday and Cheesecake checks out visiting granddog Olive while Crazy Larry attacks the catnip banana.
Happy Monday! Here's some inspiration from a Great Blue Heron to start seizing the day. 🪶
Every time I look at this picture I took of a Royal Tern with a shrimp, all I can think of is "how the heck did it make a shadow like that?" I mean, where is the Mickey Mouse head on a stick?🪶
I noticed something pink in a tree and went over to take a closer look.
