From the Great Christmas Day Carpark Caper
Among the morning's entertainment were several games of Chase Me.
Not a lot of trees to practice with, so they raced under and through the covered carpark areas. Fortunately as it was Christmas Day, the carpark was empty.

The long-leaf waxflower Philotheca myoporoides is an Australian native plant, growing naturally in Queensland, here in New South Wales and Victoria.
Seen near a creek in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney.
It is a hardy, large shrub with a long flowering season of tiny white to pale pink flowers. Leaves are sessile, oblong to egg-shaped and glandular-warty. The foliage emits a lovely citrus-like aroma.
Each flower no bigger than 10 mm. Seen here are two flowers with some unopened buds.

A small falcon found throughout mainland Australia and offshore islands. Their range is restricted in Tasmania. I have found that they are usually approachable, as long as you move slowly and quietly. I try to approach birds from their front, believing that they will feel less threatened if they can see my every move. Rather than making a direct approach to a bird, which would likely be perceived as a threat, a more successful tactic is to gradually and indirectly approach the subject. I also meander and look around, stooping down to examine rocks, grass, or other objects to give the impression that I am engaged in some activity other than being focussed on the bird. Some birds will understandably feel threatened if you gaze at them directly, so avoiding direct eye contact can also be helpful. Birds of prey are curious creatures and will often watch your meandering activities with interest.

Kings Canyon is part of the Watarrka National Park in Australia's Northern Territory. Sitting at the western end of the George Gill Range, Kings Canyon is approximately midway between Alice Springs and Uluru.
This ancient formation of tall red rock faces that soar above dense palm forests of palms is an important conservation area and refuge for more than 600 species of native plants and animals, many unique to the area.
The soaring sandstone walls of Kings Canyon were formed when small cracks eroded over millions of years. Derived from an Aboriginal word referring to the umbrella bush that thrives here, the Luritja Aboriginal people have called the Watarrka National Park area home for more than 20,000 years. â¨â¨limb to the top of the rim of Kings Canyon at sunrise or sunset. The challenging six kilometer Kings Canyon Rim Walk takes around 3-4 hours. There are spectacular views of the gorge below and of the surrounding landscape. Take a guided rim walk with an Aboriginal elder and learn about the significance of the area to its traditional owners.
Descend to the canyon to the Garden of Eden, a permanent waterhole surrounded by lush plant life. Explore the unusual weathered rock formations known as The Lost City. For the less energetic, the shorter and easier Kings Creek Walk at the Canyon base leads you through lush ferns and eucalypts to a platform with views of the sheer canyon walls above. The 22-kilometre Giles Track that connects Kings Canyon to Kathleen Springs is popular with more adventurous hikers.
You could also explore the landscape from the back of a camel on a camel safari or tour Kings Creek Station, a real working outback cattle station, by four-wheel quad bike. To appreciate the true beauty and grandeur of Kings Canyon see it from above on a scenic helicopter flight.
This image was taken at a fishing pier in Lakes Entrance. Every evening, pelicans gather around the pier, waiting for left-overs from fishermen coming back from fishing trips.
Lakes Entrance is a seaside resort and fishing port in eastern Victoria, Australia. It is situated approximately 320 kilometres east of Melbourne, near a managed, artificial channel connecting the Gippsland Lakes to the Bass Strait.
A mother Australian Wood Duck (Chenonetta jubata) with her little ducklings. I love the little orange colouration on the ends of the ducklings' beaks; it makes them look like they're happy and smiling as they waddle around. The father was just to the right of frame.

And you thought you had troubles!
Will the Magpies wait until the Kite flies, or will the Kite wait until the Magpies get bored and move on.
Life is full of choice.
While many of the trees in this area can survive drought by dropping leaves and becoming almost dormant, many can not substain.

Maggie is Sun-hazing, they go into a sort of hypnotic state as they let the sunshine into all the feathers.
After a few mintues, it shook itself, stood up and flew to a nearby tree.
