I took this while walking in the bush with the grandkids.Gums(eucalyptus trees ) tend to drop large limbs at any time.the dead limbs become homes for lizards ,snakes,insects,an small marsupials,the trees them selves are home to parrots, small birds,koalas,reptiles,and insects.

What can be more iconic than the kookaburra is for Australia. He is enshrined in song, verse and in Australian folklore. If you remember the early days of TV when the old Tarzan movies were around, you would remember hearing an odd sounding bird that sounded like a human laughing. Yep, you guessed it right, its the kookaburra.
I can recall after our first night in Australia we were awakened by the sound of something that sounded like a monkey laughing. Our young son had the answer when he said, "That's a kookaburra, the laughing bird." He did his research.
Anyway, we have five of this great birds that every morning start their laughing at the earliest hint of light. The laughing continues as they get closer and closer and finally they are on the fence behind our window singing in the new day, and waiting for a morning handout.
A quick video of playtime with Lamp Chop where you can hear Jean, my wife, go into character voice :-)

Okay, I admit it, I have been in hibernation and being a narcoleptic its one of the easiest things to do LOL.
Its just been one thing after another with my health, BUT, the good news is that I can keep my colon.
Haven't got the results of the biopsies, but the surgeon has assured me that he didn't see any sign of the Big C that had me pulling the sheets over my head.
Mind, it turns out that its my endometriosis which I thought I had laid to rest ten years ago when I had a series of three ops.
I should have twigged, as endometriosis and diverticulitis mimic each other's symptoms.
DAMN!!!
I know its another Hydrangea shot, but I picked these from our garden for craftyAnn and her husband Peter's visit (he who falls in kelp and has Ann and I running for the hills from the smell emanating from him!).
I was looking at them yesterday on the window sill and the light was just perfect to give me the ethereal shots I so love.
Ann and Peter's visit DID cheer me up as it was lovely to have one of my Aussie friends visit Shane and I.
Shane and I are off out on a photographic shoot for a client at Bushmills but I will be back later to visit.
BETTER ON BLACK
T = ||r|| ||F|| sin θ, where θ is the angle between the force vector and the jaw line vector... I don't know, maybe Jasper overthinks these things. But he's sure effective at catching the ball and making it go squish so I can't fault him his physics.
Dash and Jayme, Flickr friends accompanied us to Boyce Thompson Arboretum yesterday. Dash did some volunteer cleanup work with one of the dead trees. A natural for sure
The koala is one of the two native animals that Australia is known for. This little fella was walking across a bridge and escaped up a tree before I could take his photo. But, he seemed to pose for me. Hope you enjoy!
We went to a great Aussie meet up this weekend where the dogs got to try dock diving and play in a large fenced off leash area. Utah, the flying Aussie pictured, was the king of the flying leaps with absolutely no hesitation. Maybe one day Echo will give this a go - we are still working on getting her to go in deep enough to actually swim....
(Or should that be, “On Rock” 😜) Jasper enjoyed our early Saturday morning hike at South Mountain Park. It was expensive for us though, with all his modeling fees
5044/5032 power up the hill in to Arglen with full noise on a loaded coal train bound for export through Newcastle.
Deany came to visit today for another long overdue ‘play date’ … I suggested he bring along his lovely Ms Kenton, (from the original Australian seller,) as I wanted her to meet my two new swirl ponytails;- a lemon blonde and a brunette, who are both Aussie gals too! They came with their OSSs, shoes and boxes with price stickers from Myer, (which back then was called Myer’s, and is kinda like Macy’s in the US,) the very same big–city department store where I used to buy all my Barbies when I was a kid! The price was 27 shillings/6 pence, (roughly $2.75.) I also wanted to show Deany my two new Pak ‘Go Everywhere’ silk sheath dresses, in red and turquoise blue, (I bought the emerald green one that Ms Kenton is wearing quite a while ago.) I also have the lemon yellow one arriving next week, and have the gold version NRFP, (also pictured here.) We thought they looked like some snazzy early Sixties girl group ;- Ladies and gentlemen, presenting ‘The Swirl Girls’! hehe…

Royal Australian Air Force C130H A97-012 holding for departure from Kinloss, Oct 1992. This was leaving day after the 1992 Fincastle Trophy, got two Aussie P3s and a Kiwi P3 that day as well but missed the white Kiwi Herk which left earlier.
Taken for Studio 26 Assignment My Dog...My Self (portrait). I like to got a low PoV for my action shots of Jasper. So finding me laying on the gravel in the backyard as my wife tosses frisbees is not that uncommon and not all the comfortable. I used my Canon 70D mounted on a tripod behind me. Self timer set for 10 second delay then 9 shots, 1 second apart. I actually mounted a lens on my Canon 60D for me to hold but I guess that bit of detail is lost in this shot :-)
Jasper listens intensely when we talk to him, really perking up when he hears key words like "treat", "dinner", "play", "present", "I've got to go make a sandwich for tomorrow", that sort of thing. A quick portrait, shot blind as Jasper's grandma spoke to him
