  21. Lovely photographs – excellent subjects. I am having so much trouble with my new camera at the moment I am thinking of going back to my Sony point and shoot. It’s not the camera ( A Canon EOS ) it’s me. Never mind – persevere!

    • Thankyou so much Edgar for the lovely compliment..i have those very same days..i blame the camera when i know it’s me 🙂 i find googling forums very handy and online free tutorials…my camera is certainly no expensive model but has been a wonderful way to learn..albeit super frustrating..perservere as when tbe penny drops it is amazing what you can do…i learn new things every day..mostly that i am impatient 🙂

  26. We *never* get tired of seeing your pictures our sweet friend. They are totally awesome and out of this world. Nature may take the credit in the scenery but your eye behind the lens is the talent behind the shot. Beautiful! Beautiful! BEAUTIFUL! ❤ Houdini

  28. bev….these are amazingly beautiful….it’s like I’m …there…..the rays of the sun coming thru the trees; the tread of the tires on the road…I know it’s winter, but it doesn’t look like it….least not like the one’s we can get……do the roo’s mind the snow much ?

    • Laura thankyou i am glad you are there with me 🙂 indeed it does not look like winter..the chill was minus who knows what..we have a different winter indeed we get snow in the alpine regions of Victoria,New South Wales and Tasmania and even had snow in Queensland..the snow has fallen to about 500 metres on the coldest days so some low lying areas around us have had snow..but not piled to the roof 🙂 the roos have adapted to all the climates here hot and wet..there coats being very dense..they seem less fazed by winter than extreme heat.They look wonderful on the frost covered paddocks grazing and seem to just go with the flow as to where the food is 🙂 xxxx
