One of my best photos ever! Wombat and I came out on the deck to do some painting. We had spent much of yesterday down at the small dam watching (and trying to photograph) dragonflies. Wombat spotted this little beauty on the monstera and I just happened to have my camera in hand, ready to go. I only got to snap one shot before he flew to a further leaf!

As Wombat and I returned from filling up a watering can at the small dam, we noticed this little fellow - a Jacky Lizard - peeking through our new garden fence. Wombat was most disappointed that he skittered away and wouldn't stay to be petted.

Yeti's birthday cake - made by Wombat & yours truly. OK so it may not look all that great, but it tasted fantastic (if I do say so myself lol).

Munchkin is 6 months old today - where did the time go? Won't be long before he is chasing his brother around and talking non-stop as well :D

He's already started! Here's the video to prove it. (That's Wombat's foot at the end, and you can hear him saying "Roly poly pumpkin numpkin." I'll let you guess what he was doing lol!)

[Monday 16 January 2009] - Australia Day



Wombat and I went on a gum-blossom hunt in honour of Australia Day - there are a number of eucalypts that started flowering this week. When you get close to the tree, it smells like the sweetest honey and you can hear a mighty buzzing from the thousands of bees gathering the bounty - guess they think it smells perfect too. Of course, the blossoms are all more than five metres up in the air, so you've got to be pretty far away to get a photo. This was taken from the other side of the big dam.

Wombat with a handful of worms. I love the opalescent purple sheen that the camera captured (click on photo to see what I mean).
