RAIN
We have finally had a litle bit of rain, that has put some water in the tanks and dams. The wind that came with it whipped up the waves and sand at the Goldcoast, so I went down to see if I could get some shots of the result.
A lone walker.

There were a couple of people who had braved the elements to have a look.

ROUND ROBIN


The ROBINS challenge this week is THINGS WITH WINGS


Well just a few of my favourite things happen to have wings, Bees, Butterflies, Dragonflies, Birds, and of course I love planes because they can take you to lovely exotic places where you can photograph new species of bees, butterflies, birds etc. So with that in mind I will stick with Aussie things with wings.


Australian Black Swan, with one damaged wing.



Lorikeet, who knows how pretty he is.


I'm even prettier when I show of my wings.There is actually no way to tell a he from a she they both have exactly the same colours and markings. The male is more likely to dispay his wings to get the females attention. What, you say a MALE show off to get attention. Never! He's walking toward the camera because he can see his reflection.




Pacific Black Ducks enjoying the sunshine and a Black Winged Stilt just passing by.





Australian Pelican who is a big boy and doesn't need a night light.



I may be big but I can still soar like an eagle with these wings

Now you will have to take my word for it, but that is the flying kangaroo (Qantas) in the left hand corner. This was taken just at the top of the gateway bridge. This is a toll bridge and they put up the price on a regular basis so your money develops wings and disappears. Of course this is the quickest and easiest route to the airport.



Jetstar the cheap version of Qantas. Well they had to do something with their old planes, wouldn't want to be wrecking their perfect record now, would they?

REDCLIFF BIRDS


We went up to Redcliff yesterday and took heaps of photos. I don't know why it's called Redcliff. No cliffs and nothing that is red.
He likes a night light

As this one flew past I realised he had a fish and just quickly snapped a shot.
