Nature's Christmas Lights

Merry Christmas to all my followers!  I hope you get to spend all the time you want and need with all of the people you love and cherish!

Last night, Christmas Eve, I was sitting in the lounge at home exhausted but very happy to be spending time with family, and I happened to glance out of the window to catch a glimpse of the most brilliant colouring of the sky.  I grabbed the camera and got this shot.

Nature's Christmas Lights

I am so glad I noticed it when I did, as it lasted only a minute, then it was gone.

Attempting to finish my photography project of 2019 - 119 in 2019 & 52 in 2019.

Thinking of all of the firies fighting the various fires that are devastating South Australia at the moment - Thank You!  I hope you eventually get to spend quality time with your families real soon!

Floral Friday - Magnificent Iris

Spring is in the air!

Went to the Adelaide Zoo this week - the animals were very quiet and most of the good ones (tigers & lions) stayed low sleeping or hidden.

So what's a girl supposed to do? 

take photos of some of the gorgeous plants & flowers and the birds flying free!

Well, here we are, another week has flown by!

Monarto Zoo | Lions 360 Experience

I was fortunate enough to go to Monarto Zoo and do the Lions 360 Experience ..... and what a fun thing to do!

I am a Zoo Member and have visited Monarto Zoo several times, but this time it was just that little bit more enjoyable!

My what big paws you have

I wonder what you taste like?


You can get quite close, but not too close  :)

Qantas VH-VXK-Adel-Melb

Air New Zealand ZK-OKA-Adl-Auckland

Out and about with my camera club

One of my camera clubs had a weekend away to the Barossa - I couldn't do the weekend, but I went up with a few other members just for the day.

Here are some pics from the day out - which was frightfully cold, wet and windy ...... but we had a good time despite the weather!

Winner, Winner ....

I had to withdraw my prints from last month's competition at my camera club, as I was sick with the flu and wasn't able to drop off my prints for judging.

So I decided to enter them again in the Open Category for this month.

Jelly Bean

So pleased I did!  My first 1st for the year!

Autumn Activity in Adelaide

With the leaves all falling from the trees in my front yard, it makes it much easier to get shots of the birds :)

I have heard the New Holland Honeyeaters are affectionately called the 'Adelaide Sparrow' - I am not sure just how accurate that is.
