Nice Sunny Day

The weather was nice and warm today so we took Kosta to the beach at around 4 o'clock.
He had a play with another dog that liked swimming, so her master threw the ball in the water and we were hoping that Kosta would forget himself and follow her...but no way was he going in.
This photo shows how far he goes into the water...big wussy boy!

Feeding Time At The Park

Ian and I went out to the Park after tea in the hope of finding the Galahs that usually hang around there. When we pulled up there were four of them feeding on the grass but two moved away when I approached them. The other two stayed there and let me get quite close to them.

Who's A Pretty Boy!

I parked the car in town and then walked out to the park in hope of finding the Galahs feeding on the grass, but spotted only two up in a tree. When I tried to take a photo they flew away. The groundsman said that they usually come down to feed late afternoon, so I will have to go back later on this week.
Then I went around to the peacocks to see how the babies were growing..(haven't grown much in one week), and spotted the peacock and peahen.
I have never been able to work out why the males of the bird species are always the pretty ones...law says that females are vain but I think this proves that theory wrong.

WOW!

Wow!..I have a new background and I managed to change it all by myself.
Who say's you can't teach an old dog new tricks!

I haven't posted any pics for a few days so there are two for today.

One of Kosta watching me take a photo of a rose in my garden...and the rose.

Peanut Butter

Food always works with animals....wonder if this would work with grandkids???


Family

My eldest daughter and her two children...so I guess that makes them my grandchildren.
Master & Miss 'I don't know how to behave myself'!

EDIT: I've been informed that they know how to behave themselves, but choose not to.

No Sunshine Today

Today I went to the Burnie Park to have a look at the Peacocks and spotted a few baby ones there.



Then I went back to Romaine Dam and was surprised to find the missing Swan had appeared again.

Missing Swan

Yesterday I went to the Romaine Dam again looking for the Swan, and after walking all around the Dam the swan was not to be seen.....plenty of ducks but no swans.

Daughter #3

Today I got a few new filters but have yet to work out how to use them.
I got lucky today and had a few volunteers to 'model' for me, and got a few shots that I was happy with.

Swan

This afternoon I went to Romaine Dam to get some pics of the swans but could only find the one swan...and he/she decided not to co-operate and proceeded to clean it's self for 15 minutes, so in the end I gave up and didn't get many shots.

First Day With New Camera

This will be my first posting of a pic with my new camera...lets see how I go at loading a photo on here.
