The Eagle Nebula (catalogued as Messier 16 or M16, and as NGC 6611, and also known as the Star Queen Nebula and The Spire) is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens, discovered by Jean-Philippe de Cheseaux in 1745–46. Both the "Eagle" and the "Star Queen" refer to visual impressions of the dark silhouette near the center of the nebula,an area made famous as the "Pillars of Creation" imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. The nebula contains several active star-forming gas and dust regions, including the aforementioned Pillars of Creation. (Wikipedia)

Backyard visitors. This is a pink and grey galah. very common in this area. The colourful bird in foreground (out of focus) is a rainbow lorikeet. A beautiful and feisty bird which unfortuantely is an introduced species and bit of a pest for the endemic species such as the galah and other parrots. The galahs are real characters and very intelligent (like most parrots).

I took these photos to try out my new telephoto zoom lense. A christmas present that I will use when winter comes again and the surf is up.

This guy came into the backyard yesterday. I went out to make sure the deer could find it's way back over the fence. Instead he started following me around. Had to finally make enough noise for him to leave. Then hung out in the green belt, munching away for about 20 minutes. Before he left, I told him to watch out for the local Cougar.

The Pleiades also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, are an open star cluster in the constellation of Taurus.

Explore # 214. We have a couple of these nesting in our backyard and they're real active right now... had to grab my camera and take a photo of one this morning.

In the middle of this back yard, I almost missed seeing this crane, quietly roosting in the background. Not an everyday sighting for sure!

Four hummingbirds visit my backyard twice a year. They're fun to watch. Not easy to capture shots of them, but it's pretty rewarding when I do get something a little decent.
