Mama Roo
Doing a little house keeping while joey is out of the pouch. Joey is immitating mama I think. The roos love the rocks, they get up on them to have a vantage point to keep an eye out in case of danger. Every now and then a dog will chase them but I have never seen a dog catch one, they are always too fast. We watched as two dogs thought they had one cornered one day, he was a big old muscley fellow that stood his ground and didn't bother trying to outrun the dogs. The two dogs eventually tucked their tails between their legs and ran off in horror.

Flowers


Monet A friend of mine is doing a class where you purposely blur the flowers for a Monet effect. It's quite hard to get a slow enough shutter speed in the middle of the day, even with f22. I don't think I achieved the desired effect, lol. But I only took one photo today and then my battery died...

  1. Love your photos! You are so lucky to be able to catch kangaroos right outside your home! Those purple flowers are just perfect. Your photos always have the best DOF, what is your secret? Can't believe how Tayla is growing up, she's beautiful! Who is the "Contemplating? child? I like that photo with the sun's rays coming in behind her.

    1. That is Jade at their property.

      The shallow DOF is thanks to the 100mm macro Viv.
