Your Bio

Hi, I'm Loki. It's my job to keep a sharp eye on things while my human goes off with that annoying black thing with the bright light that gets in my eyes. I keep telling her that she'd do much better just staying here and providing a comfortable lap for her chief admirer, but does she listen? Noooo.... Sometimes the comfy lap is absent for weeks on end! And what do we have to show for it when she finally gets back? Well, you can see for yourself...

Critters without feathers : Just a small collection, but I hope to be adding more pictures as I come across more of these beautiful and fascinating creatures. Some of the photos are considerably less than brilliant. I hope to replace them with better ones some day.

Myrica Cottage Weekend : We had the privilege of spending the 23rd and 24th of June at Myrica Cottage near Anglesea in Victoria, and included a day of birding with Neil. Who would have thought tramping through the mud after birds that fly off as soon as you bring the viewfinder to your eye could be so much fun!

Phillip Island Day Trip : These images were all taken on a wintry June day in 2012, either near Rhyll or at Swan Lake on Phillip Island. The day started off with thick fog, which didn't lift until a little past noon, when the sun was finally able to break through. The images taken near Rhyll all reflect the greyness of the day.

Australian Garden Cranbourne : All of these pictures were taken in the 'Australian Garden' at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Cranbourne, Victoria. All of the plants grown in this garden are Australian natives. The 'Australian Garden' is itself part of a much larger park that consists of 343 hectares of untouched heathlands, wetlands, and woods. Although these flowers are all carefully cultivated in the Garden, each of them grows as a 'wildflower' somewhere in Australia. This gallery is still a work in progress. Names will be added eventually. I hope.
