Evan gives the Sony R1 a spin. She's getting the hang of it! Her parents got her a little point&shoot this past year and she's become quite the shutterbug.

I am delighted to feature in the Talking Pictures column of US photography magazine 'Shutterbug'. Thank you Barry! :-)
Kookaburras are terrestrial tree kingfishers of the genus Dacelo native to Australia and New Guinea, which grow to between 28 and 47 cm (11 and 19 in) in length and weigh around 300 g (11 oz). The name is a loanword from Wiradjuri guuguubarra, onomatopoeic of its call. The loud, distinctive call of the laughing kookaburra is widely used as a stock sound effect in situations that involve an Australian bush setting or tropical jungle, especially in older movies.
They are found in habitats ranging from humid forest to arid savannah, as well as in suburban areas with tall trees or near running water. Though they belong to the larger group known as "kingfishers", kookaburras are not closely associated with water.[3]

Grand Canyon NP on the South Kaibab Trail. On the left, you can look down to see cedar ridge (named for the beautiful Cedar trees that can be seen) and a lone hiker. You can see the trail continue on inevitably toward the Colorado River.
From my archives. I love the fact that our street is rural enough to enable us to see wildlife, but we're within a minute of a major highway.
Entered this photo in an art contest and received great results. Also, a print of it was published in a newspaper and another was bought by a fan. I personally just love this photo!

Dear Flickr Friends.
Brisbane, Ipswich and the Lockyer Valley including Toowoomba have been hit very, very hard this week with the worst floods since 1974.
The flood peak today was expected to be just below the flood peak of 5.2 metres, but was revised down to 4.45 metres at the peak today @ 4am. I ventured to Kangaroo Point very early to capture this photograph of the event. Those statues in the water are a fair way back from the water edge and the sound of the river roaring was just something out of a movie.
Fortunately, I've been very very lucky and so have my family that we've not been effected by the floods.
It's extremely surreal being in a high and dry part of Brisbane (Carina) whereas only a few kilometres away each way people's homes and business have been lost and ruined.
Seeing the devastation particularly along the river of Brisbane, where pontoons, the Brisbane River Walk and many boats have floated out into Moreton Bay was pure awe yet terribly shocking. Seeing places like Suncorp Stadium inundated and the areas around Rocklea and West End and countless others completely inundated is just gobsmacking.
Luckily the waters are receding but should peak slightly again today at 4pm.
I'm heading off to Western Australia tomorrow where bushfires and a cyclone is raging for a workshop with some well known photographers. I feel very de-motivated about going and would like to stay but instead when I arrive back next Tuesday night, I'll be heading off from Wednesday to be deployed (I work with the Queensland Government) at the towns and cities effected by the floods to assist and help those effected by the terrible tragedy that has occurred.
As such, I'll be off Flickr for a fair while.
Best of luck to you all. Please be safe.
