Sunset, Cows & Kangaroos

Late last night, in the paddocks behind our house.

I wish I had thought to use the zoom on the digital camera more than the once. I hadn’t realised it would work as well.  These other photos were taken on the Nokia windows phone.

In my garden today …

I very nearly had a photo of a silver-eye bathing in the small top pond, but the sun shining on the window foiled my plans. This is why you aren’t seeing the cockatoos lately – too many reflections on the window glass throwing back into the lens.

I coaxed the lorikeets out of the tree with some apple, else I wouldn’t be able to show you those, either! They let me get quite close to them.

Butterflies & Moths, Sally D's Mobile Photography Challenge

Sally D’s Mobile Photography Challenge: Macro (Phalaenoides glycinae)

I’ve photographed this pretty Aussie Grapevine Moth (Phalaenoides glycinae) last year, but not managed to so far in 2016 – until today. However, this one was very subdued and jumped on to my hand when I reached for a grape. Sort of puts one off eating the grapes just thinking that one of these moths may have pumped eggs in already!  I did see a tiny caterpillar a few days ago.

I’m tagging these  for Sally D’s Mobile Photography Challenge: Macro.
