From my garden

This lovely dragonfly was enjoying the nectar from a plant, growing in my pond.

Ready for take off!

From my garden

Taken at a local animal park. Glad there was a fence that separated us, he didn't look too friendly!

Even in winter, in Australia, there's something to enjoy at the beach. At this beach there are camel rides and four-wheel driving tours.

Found this cluster of tiny toadstools, growing under my strawberry plants

I don't know what this beetle is called but it was on my pot plant and I haven't seen one like it since.

This lizard found it's way inside our laundry and was carried back outside.

Taken at sunset, out my back window, whilst there were bushfires in my area.
