A juvenile Eastern Koel waits impatiently for its foster parent Wattlebird to bring it some food. Must be hard work for the Wattlebird when the Koel is already bigger than them.

This dog is too long for our current rating system to handle. We are working internally to address this problem, but in the meantime please only send regular-length dogs. Thank you… 13/10
a thick tree trunk situated in a winter wonderland. the trunk is at least 5 feet in width, the ground is covered in several inches of snow, and some of it has caught on the bark of the tree. behind the tree stands a majestic and incredibly long husky. his head sticks out from the left side of the trunk, while his hind end pokes out from the right side. i suppose there's a world in which this could be two dogs... but that's probably not what's happening here.

This Crimson Rosella was clearly ready for its close-up!

Been a while since I posted a cute Echidna, so here you go!

Came across this intrepid one at Mulligan's Flat. To get the shot I put my camera up on the log and shot while hiding my face out of view. Got pretty lucky I must say!

The Corymbia cultivars at the Australian National Botanic Gardens are flowering nicely. I think this my favourite, with is pretty two-tone flowers.

A water dragon stuffing its face with food scavenged from the cafe at the Botanic Gardens. Majestic.

Kangaroo grass (Themeda triandra) illuminated by the glow of last night's sunset. This is my favourite native grass, and a key indicator species of high quality natural temperate grasslands.

Sometimes I forget how pretty Crimson Rosellas are, because they're so common. The way they contrast against a deep green background is so cool.

A quick one of some paper daisies from the Botanic Gardens before I go to bed.

More storms last night in Canberra. This one came through Belconnen around midnight and put on quite a light show ⚡

Wild weather in Canberra this weekend. Seemed like storm after storm both evenings. This one looked particularly menacing as it loomed over Belconnen.

My best timed boop of last year. Found myself at the right place at the right time (completely unplanned I might add). Took a fair bit of walking to line it up right.

Golden rays of light hitting Canberra's mountain ranges one evening late last year. The Pinnacle Nature Reserve is a fantastic sunset vantage point.

Accidentally interrupted this sunbathing Eastern Brown Snake while walking around the wetlands a while back. It ducked into the little crack in the concrete to the right, but I did manage to snap one (thankfully in-focus) shot. Beautiful creatures!
