I'm invisible and part of the tree .... seen quite a few like that, just walked right up and they never moved a millimeter until I reached out and touched them.

Nice EWS you've got there. Got a soft spot for EWSs.

I wasn't game enough to touch him, until then I hadn't actually seen EWS that close and I was quite surprised to how big they were

You don't say

This is an Eastern Long-necked Turtle (Chelodina longicollis).
I'm guessing that it's a big, well-matured female.

Guess who came out for a visit while I was having a cup of tea and sitting on my camp chair on my front footpath and enjoying a liitle sun .

Fortunately I had the camera handy sitting in reach on it's tripod on the patio - I was hoping I might spot her. (Lizzy's about 1 month old baby).

Very hard to get a good photo, darned autofocus wanted to focus on everything else (in the background) than her, so nothing for it but to switch off autofocus and do a quick manual focus. Managed to get a few shots before the neighbours dog came out and started barking at me - spooking her.

Canon 40D on tripod , Yongnuo TC-80N3A remote controller, Sigma 50-150mm f2.8 APO DC HSM Zoom (at 150mm) - manually focused , auto exposure auto apeture - shot from about 1 m away , if that helps.

Very pleased that she's OK and is still hanging about.

She's so tiny and cute and delicate looking and she's a very beautiful little skink. I think she was eying off a little green catepillar that was crawling across the footpath when I got the above photo.

Some of our backyard wildlife.

Here are a couple of photos of a Diamond we saw last weekend. We were fishing down some little side rivers and came across this little fella basking on a branch over the water. The photos are not that good but the interesting thing was he had no tail! A couple of millimetres from the cloaca was all stump!

I love seeing wild Diamond pics. This one looks like it was hanging out over a tidal waterway. Was the water brackish and vegetation essentially mangrove swamp?

I've seen quite a few wild Diamonds with stumpy tails. I've often wondered how and why it happens???

Rubbish those are all great sharp well lit (especially the EWD) photos. Wouldn't need to do any better unless you want to sell them. They are great photos.

Yeah the place we found him was all mangrove swamp…I was curious too as to what happened must have been some time ago though as he was fully healed.

Here is a couple more picks from different adventures, the echidna, kookaburra and centipede with eggs were taken while up the bush and the others are from Cambodia and Laos last year…the buffalo and ducks aren’t really ‘Wild’ but they definitely don’t live in behind fences they just roam around.

I see some birds have been posted. I used to love taking bird photos. Here's a few of them:
The awesome thing is that all but two of these photos were taken either at my mum's house, a friends house or a friends relatives house.
