Foraging on the grass near the edge of the forest these three roos pause to consider if my presence means that they will hop off into the forest or not.
Kangaroo Island, South Australia

Kangaroo paw (Anigozanthos) is a genus of 11 species and multiple subspecies of flowering plants that are native to Australia. These plants have long, slender, arching leaves similar to the foliage of daylilies or amaryllis plants. The unusual tubular flowers grow on stalks in fan-like rows and are covered in velvety fuzz, giving them the appearance of a Kangaroo's paw. The blooms come in an array of shades, including red, orange, yellow, and purple.
I love Kangaroo paw plants because they grow fairly quickly and don’t require much maintenance.
The Kangaroo Point Bridge is a pedestrian and cyclist bridge across the Brisbane River, it was opened in 2024.
The colourful, large scale inflatable arches were temporary art pieces, the installation was part of the 2025 Brisbane Festival, which ran in September.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
Kangaroo: an internationally recognised symbol of Australia.
This Eastern Grey female's large joey is grazing from the comfort and security of the pouch.
Kangaroos are wonderful mothers and the joey stays with her for a whole year (6 months in her pouch and 6 months hopping beside her)

'Kangaroo Paw' - an Australian native flower - Anigozanthos flavidus, a rhizomatous perennial plant, noted for its unique bird-attracting flowers. Originally from Western Australia but now available all over Australia in nurseries and garden centres - in Bunnings for example!!
They are called 'Kangaroo Paw' because it is said that the flowers resemble the claws of a kangaroo.
These flowers are a real magnet for honeyeaters and so I have collected three of them for the balcony here at Cherrybrook, in northern Sydney, in the hope that the Eastern Spinebill honeyeater, and maybe the New Holland honeyeater, may visit me.

Photo of kangaroo paws in the landscape. Another in a series of stay at home photography. Using Sigma Art series 135mm lens for plant portraits.
Kangaroo paw is a great survivor of droughts and bushfires. Some varieties flower for most of the year and bees love them.
This is a picture of a female Red Kangaroo. This female has a Joey (baby) that has its head in her pouch to suckle. There is also another baby (pouch young) in her pouch that would be suckling on another nipple. I like this shot as it shows the Kangaroos in their bush context. This is the kind of habitat they live in.
These shots were taken at Pinnaroo Memorial Park. This is a very special memorial park near us that doesnt do burials but you can have plaques placed in the native bush setting. Its a magical place where the wild kangaroos roam wild and early morning and evening you can see them grazing on the grass around all the remembrance plaques and then during the day they retreat into the surrounding bushland. Its in the bushland that I captured these roos. This memorial park is a magical place.
Continuing the Australian Christmas theme, all eyes are on the Christmas Kangaroo, except for the Python who can sleep through anything.

Wikipedia: The kangaroo is a marsupial from the family Macropodidae (macropods, meaning "large foot"). In common use the term is used to describe the largest species from this family, the red kangaroo, as well as the antilopine kangaroo, eastern grey kangaroo, and western grey kangaroo. Kangaroos are indigenous to Australia. The Australian government estimates that 34.3 million kangaroos lived within the commercial harvest areas of Australia in 2011, up from 25.1 million one year earlier.
A kangaroo mom was licking her baby, and every so often, the baby would tuck its head inside her pouch.
This Kangaroo and baby was taken at a holiday village on the South Coast of NSW. The Roo's are allow to roam freely around the park.
After a couple of teasers (see in first comment box), here they are - the Remarkable Rocks.
While I often prefer nature shots without humans, I have left them in this image to illustrate the dimensions.

Just back from 2 weeks in Australia, mainly Melbourne and Sydney where family and friends were visited but also to a BnB at Kangaroo Valley 100 km south of Sydney.
Sorry to my contacts. I found myself locked out of Flickr while in Australia.
