Great capture. As a member of the emergency services in Victoria and having lived at the foot of the Blue Mountains, I really do appreciate the value of the water bombers.

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.

My daughter's cat is quite the character. It seems here that she is being a piece of popped-up toast out of a toaster!

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

Sunset from the break wall

Jewel Beetle protecting her eggs

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.
