Shadow Ignores the Camera

I have better things to see than a camera lens!
Anyhow! I never see the photos anyways!


I have my own world
I'm busy protecting it

Am I being told something?...

Some characters at Coolart, Somers on the Mornington Peninsula.
Coolart features a wonderful old rambling homestead, wetlands and an assortment of animals.

Who would believe...

Who would believe...
Looking down from the back verandah
into my own Dromana Hills backyard,
early one March morning last year,
I saw a pair of eyes
staring right back at me...

The rabbit was where?.....

I was on the way to a physio appointment in Dromana one afternoon when I saw a rabbit.
The rabbit was all alone, munching away on grass in the small garden area round St Mark's Anglican Church.
The church is near the local shopping centre and carpark.
How did it wander there?
I had to have a photo.
After the physio appointment, I looked again.
No rabbit.
Hmmmmm....

Beauty of a Goanna

Goanna at the Moonlit Sanctuary, Pearcedale


Goannas can stay in one position - motionless - for a long time.


A special feature of the Moonlit Sanctuary is the evening tour for appreciating nocturnal animals.

Balancing the budget...

Koala doing a rather clever balancing act as he sleeps at the Moonlit Sanctuary, Pearcedale on the Mornington Peninsula

Grazing Together

Two kangaroos feeding very closely together at Seawinds - lovely gardens at the top of Arthurs Seat mountain overlooking Port Phillip Bay.
I must admit, when I first took this photo, I thought that there was only one kangaroo!
Many kangaroos wander freely in the area until about mid morning, then disappear as people arrive!
At sunset, they come out again for a night feast!

I wanna go THIS way!....

Dromana by the sea is the place to walk, ride a bike and walk the dog.
Some dogs have their own agenda!

The Human Condition

I'm Patriotic!

Dog enjoying the Australia Day activities yesterday on the Dromana foreshore!
(I think!)
So love his Australian flag scarf
- or is that a neck tie?


NOTE
In answer to comments about muzzles on dogs, I have only seen them twice in all my time of taking photos!
Both times involved a very crowded place.
The first time was at Mornington street markets
and the second time was yesterday when thousands crowded the Dromana foreshore for Australia Day celebrations.
I can only presume, in both cases, it was a precautionary measure with so many people and so many divergent sounds around.

Baby Seal

Just before Christmas 2011, a little seal spent some time on one of the quieter, more rocky parts of Dromana beach
- in the area known as Anthony's Nose.
Rangers patrolled the area regularly to keep the Mum seal and baby safe;
there were signs not to venture down on this area of the beach till further notice.
NOTE
The photo was taken from above on the old sea wall!

ANOTHER NOTE
I don't often do this, but I have just discovered the most amazing images of animals from a variety of European zoos.
Each image has character, lots of character!
The blog post from Pia of Germany is HERE!

Shadow Eyes

The eyes on our cat Shadow seem to offer pools of soulful visions.
She demands that you gaze at her as she gazes at you!


I'm a gem in your world.
