there's another good photo in the batch: 1/2-140293-G, shows another angle, same day and the same people, including the photographer. the other lady is the sister. pretty cool trying to nut this out. I love old photos.

Interesting Mark, looks to me like a black man with a banjo in his lap teaching a young white woman, the other woman is a chaperone, all being photographed by a man placed in that position, the subject is the lady in white. The other photographer could be shooting the napping chaperone, head tilted.

A bit obscure for Spotify, can't follow along on this one...

lovely piece of art....

I am lucky enough to have a pair stop for a few weeks over winter at my family farm in Moorooduc, Vic. I also find them along fencelines near open fields near forests. Fairly common bird in the right areas over winter

lovely shot

We have one that has moved into a bird house usually used by starlings. Warm day so he was cooling down with an arm out.

Elster Creek runs through Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve , so both

a few more Grebes from the local creek.

its been a bit warm lately for too many visits but I did notice yesterday a pair of Australasian Grebes that were circling each other - hoping love is in the air.

must be strange going from a heatwave back to winter...maybe a nice change from the heat.

Hope everything is ok Fiona

why? camera/lens combo too slow, birds too quick or too wary? lighting? trees in the way? you may have been spoilt by how easy it is to shoot the birds locally....congrats on the lifer, you are supposed to get a tattoo of the bird now or at least have a drink and dessert to celebrate.

Lifer?

For all the bright colours of the Muskie , it blends in so well, blue sky , green leaves , red flowers, very noisy but invisible

lovely shot Fiona...
