Our city's International Friendship Gardens is a great place to walk - summer or winter. And while all the ethnic garden displays lay hidden amidst the snow and trees, colourful benches abound.

Found only in Greater Sundas (Sumatera, Java & Kalimantan), Indigo Flycatcher taken at Raden Soeryo Greater Park Forestry, East Java.

This horse made a point of coming to say hello as I stood at it's fence chatting away to the four in the field. Aberdeenshire Scotland.

Sandpipers aren't necessarily the world's most interesting or exotic bird, but I had fun watching this one cruise the shoreline looking for morsels...

Friendly goat joined in the conversation when we visited Sewerby Hall, Bridlington,East Yorkshire,England.HFF.

We toured the Reykjanes Peninsula, the peninsula in the south-west of Iceland where the international airport is. Hafnir is a small town with a black church. The Icelandic horses are quite friendly and not shy at all.

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Believe this is one of six cygnets which are almost fully grown now. Having seen several others it seemed they have finally flown the nest!

While on our way back from a photo shoot, we came across an enormous horse farm. Of course we had to stop and see them, this friendly girl came right up to us and posed ever so nicely.

This little guy was not shy!

The quaintly named Friendly Beaches, @ Freycinet Peninsula, Tasmania - where the sand is white, the water is turquoise, wildlife abounds and you get the whole beach to yourself!! We actually patted a wombat a little bit further around from this part of the beach ... another slice of paradise on this beautiful little island.
