What is it with ravens eluding my damned camera! I hear them, I see them, I see amazing shots to take of them, but when it comes to pointing and clicking, where are they???
You'll have to content yourself with these instead.

( part one - lorikeets mostly. in the next batch i have some flight shots i'm really happy with. )

A sample from part two!

It'd be nice to go there again as it's only a 20 minute drive away from our place and now that I can walk around a fair bit more, I can start lurking around my favourite haunts more often. Wootage.

So Glen and I did end up going to Hawkin's Park in Joondalup today, and mostly just walked around (it's really NICE to be able to walk around).
I snapped some pictures (and some I'm really happy with), and we talked, and sat under the eucalypts and at one point we got a chocolate dipped soft-serve cone, because it was a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon and therefore to picnickers and Mr. Whippy van were out in force.
I took quite a few photos, so I will do a couple (or maybe three) entries to show them. I hope you like. Here is a sample!

Part II to be forthcoming!

Went on a mega walk through Koondoola yesterday, the longest I've been on in easily over 2 years. It was amazing. We saw a Western brush wallaby almost flying through the undergrowth, a lot of 28 parrots, and an inordinate number of wattlebirds chasing each other about.
It was just lovely to walk the land again. Dieback has more of a stranglehold on the banksias, which is really sad. But... the land is evolving, and who knows how it will adapt to deal with it. I don't know. I do worry though.
While I could ramble on and on about spirits and 'zomg spirit spiders' and such, I'd rather just share a whole heap of photos with you. :) It's not even a flowering season at the moment, aside form a handful of plants, but that's okay.
For those who are keeping up with Tem's Lucky Paw, there are pictures of the Calytrix or 'spirit spiders' within. :)
