The blue jewels flash by while you are looking elsewhere.. and.. if you stay still, you can blend into the scrub while they flit about catching flying insects and keeping an eye out for the deadly predators.. ravens, hawks, falcons and eagles.
The front view of the Brilliant Blue fairy wren keeping an eye out for predators while his family of two females and two males feed and play.. Kalamunda National Park, Western Australia. October 2025. The back end of the brilliant Blue Fairy Wren showing his tail behind a limb of a tree. The brilliant Blue Fairy Wren - the male of the species, has just spotted me lurking in front of him.. He has turned his head slightly to see whether I am a threat or not. The brilliant Blue Fairy Wren is staring me down while sitting on a tree branch directly in front of me. He decides to fly off to another branch and shortly after, his whole family fly off to the safety of the big eucalypts behind me.

A few miles ago, I stopped by here. Alone and thinking deep thoughts about the love that has gone. I wandered about.. stumbling upon beauty and curiousity in the wild.. lucky for me, I have been kept safe out there 🙏🏻 .. Here is a photo taster of the wild west ~ Djilba ~ Noongar second spring 👌

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

Blue hour at Roker 📷

This was 45mins before sunrise when the colours were at their most vibrant. The sunrise wasn’t going to amount to much, too much cloud, so I never went down onto the pier.

A photo of a stone lighthouse just before sunrise. A stone pier curves round towards the horizon. At its end is the red and white lighthouse. The sea is a deep blue which contrasts against the orange and yellow sky on the horizon. A night angler can be seen on the pier wearing bright green overalls.

Another one of my prized blurry photos!! 🧐
This one was just being tossed around a bit in the wind - I tried to sharpen it but I prefer it this way. The colour stands out brilliantly against the litter and the grass. This was taken last year.

Charlie Chaplins speech - reminding us of our strength in numbers.. and kindness and love will win over hate and greed.. 💖🙏
rbreich.bsky.social Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · Aug 13
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Just saw this! Thoughts are with you all dealing with this unimaginable heat across the US! Look after yourselves and each other.. especially your older folk! They wouldn't know how to get cool in this! 😵‍💫🥵😔🙏

This is not just a one day event... @nws.noaa.gov Extreme Heat Warnings continue through the weekend.

~53 million people across the Southwestern U.S. and Mexico are expected to experience at least one day under these exceptional, climate-driven conditions.

Map showing the Climate Shift Index (CSI) for average daily temperatures across the southwestern United States and northern Mexico from August 4–8, 2025. Deep red and maroon colors dominate Arizona, New Mexico, western Texas, and parts of surrounding states, indicating a CSI of 5—the highest level of climate change influence. This means conditions were at least 5 times more likely due to human-caused climate change. The map includes a color scale ranging from -5 (less likely due to climate change) to +5 (exceptionally more likely), with annotations describing each level of influence.

Skip (the name I give Kangaroos..), happened to appear one morning before coffee! Lol.. Right in front of me while I was enjoying the first breath of morning air. So, I grabbed my camera, tried to focus - fast! Clickety click!! This is the only good (or fairly good!) pic I got! Bros fighting! 🙌🦘⛳️🌊
Skip (the name I give Kangaroos..), happened to appear one morning before coffee.. and before coherence! Lol.. Right in front of me while I was enjoying the first breath of morning sea air... so.. grabbed my camera.. tried to focus and shoot!! This is the only good (or fairly good!) pic I got! After coffee, I realised I should have taken a video! Anyway.. brothers fighting in fun on the golf course! Enjoy!

The night before and the morning after. Sharing for #Stunday as I love how they are a little dramatic! The pine trees.. (my pet project!), I am secretly happy with and the waning crescent moon, my favourite moon phase after a full moon. #Photography #sunrise #clouds #nature #Sony #Australia
The night before image is a crescent Moon over the Indian Ocean on the Western Australian coastline. Sky turning from light grey to night with wispy dark clouds moving over the sunsets last rays falling over the horizon. Viewed through the shadows of native coastal bush. May 30, 2025. The morning after image shows the suns rays lining the top edge of low hanging cumulus clouds in the distance. Small and dark wispy clouds crossing above on a light yellow sky.. viewed from across an estuary through pine trees in the shadows of nights hold. May 31, 2025.

Golden light breaks the ocean's spell.
Where night once whispered, hope does swell.
Waves crash loud with morning's cheer.
Washing away the weight of our fear.
Rocks stand tall in dawn’s warm glow.
Guardians of dreams we now bestow.
With sunrise comes the strength to grow.
Waves caught in the light are breaking on a rocky beach on Portugal's Algarve.

Sunrise Sunday.. Out West.. South West Coast.. Oz. not edited.. Sunrise with sun glowing white highlighting the pine trees in front of it with the golden and yellow glow pushing up to the sky with amber and deep purple colours..

Cine film roll... and Action! Classic cinematography on film rolls actually! See for yourself.. Isn't it inspiring? 🤩😌👊

Here is another shot from my roll of Wolfen NC500 film. This film definitely has its own look and is like nothing I’ve ever shot before. It has a super grainy, almost painterly rendition that is only suitable for certain types of subjects.

I am on the coast! The South West Coast of Western Australia.. strolling today past the golfers and the roos as I head to the beach to enjoy the views... I might share some of those too if you like.. ☺️
