Some photographers tend to think that the bigger their equipment, the more right of way they have!
This was NOT the attitude of the person in the Audi, I am merely using the photo to demonstrate the frustration us 'plebs' with lesser equipment so often experience with so-called 'pros' that push right in front, cut you off
from the sighting and ruin all your chances of getting a good look, not to mention a photo!
Please remember to pack your manners into your camera bag - that way you will never forget them at home again!
  (the number plate was my own idea after removing the registration)
After spending quite some time parked on a bridge, I noticed a little crocodile in the water adjacent to the rock.
This was quite a find as I stop here on every visit to the park and have never seen a crocodile here.
I decided to put Nifty's (my Canon SX130is) lens to the ultimate test and was rather amazed at her zooming capabilities!
Not bad for a pocket digital - Nifty I am proud of you!
Thanks again, Lennis!
A rather ominous reflection.... right down to the evil glint in the eye!

After a long wait, the buds that featured on 23 April are finally starting to open.
Thankyou Susan for this beautiful plant! I wish I knew what it is called.

Ever seen these blobs of foam and thought it was a frog's nest?  Well - they are actually the nests of Spittle Bugs and if you remove some of the foam, you will find the bug inside.  (as children we used to think it was 'snakespit'... ha ha)
