Bicentennial Park Birds (and Spiders) – 14 January 2019
The forecast was for hot weather. Very hot weather, so I wanted to do an easy activity with shade available and not too much walking, and no hills to climb. A wander around the pools at Bicentennial Park seemed to … Continue reading

A Short But Sweet Canyon – 10 January 2019

Birds at Tempe – 8 January 2019

Fungi in Sassafras Gully – 7 January 2019

Wollangambe Canyon – 6 January 2019
I spent a very pleasant day photographing Wollangmabe Canyon. I was on a trip with Albert. The trip was supposed to be more of a social trip rather than a photographic one, but an adverse weather forecast resulted in the … Continue reading
