The Welcome Swallow and the Sprinkler
A lone Welcome Swallow keeps a roof sprinkler company. (In case you’re wondering, the roof sprinklers are there to wet/cool the house down in a bushfire. We hope.)

Willie Wagtail Attacking a Raven
Willie Wagtails really are fearless little warriors, taking on birds much larger than themselves. I’ve even seen them having a go at birds of prey – sometimes to their detriment.

Photos courtesy of Jan Beer.
Now, this is something you don’t see every day! Unfortunately (very), I was away from home and missed out on seeing this in person.
P.S. These photos were taken on the road just outside our place.

Raindrop-decorated Christmas Tree
Our Christmas tree has grown too tall (approx 5m) for us to decorate, but nature lent a hand and adorned it for us, temporary as it was.

P.S. This is the view from our back door.

Huntsman Spider with Eggs
One from the archives. It was taken with my old pocket Ricoh, so the image quality isn’t fantastic, but it’s still one of my favourites.

Angus Heifer
This one’s dedicated to Holly, a deep thinker who is concerned about what will happen to the cows if there’s a fire. Holly is only three years old (almost).
