Photography, art, travel, writing, poetry.
I love the creative process.

The photograph/avatar is of an ostrich looking directly at the camera. It is looking impish mainly because it had just tried to pull my wedding ring off my finger and failed. I got the feeling it wanted a second try.

Rock Kestrel

While walking along a road that runs along a contour halfway up Table Mountain we came across this beauty.

A greater double collared sunbird drinking nectar from a flower. The sunbird is the pollinator for this species of plant (Tecoma Capensis)
The flower deposits pollen on the top of the birds head and the next flower picks up some of the pollen from the bird's head.

Cute gecko doing its best to blend in on a tree in suburban Melbourne this afternoon.

For 30+ years I'd never seen a gecko in the wild here, but increasingly noticed them over the last decade.

Turns out there are actually 10 species here in Victoria - nine native and one introduced.

It was actually kinda pretty so I made sure to get a "real photo" too.

I don't know who originally said or wrote this, but I like to remind myself from time to time. Capitalism isn't natural. It's a vile abomination. It must be stopped.
