One of our Natural Illustration assignments - quick field sketches. My kookaburra did not cooperate.
My page is the one with the large blank section!
A trip to the beach. We were sitting outside the fish and chip shop and this pelican came along to check out the menu.
He decided it looked pretty good and went in to place his order
This is his usual eating hole
Interesting sculpted rocks
A wee froggie that jumped out of some washing I had hanging outside
Notebooking our spring flowers
A couple of suspicious looking characters hanging around the neighbourhood

Yes, spring is finally on the move! It's been quite cold and wintry in our part of Australia this last week, but is warming up nicely now. Those wildflowers in the bush are a welcome sight, along with kookaburras and pelicans. Enjoy!
These are some great pictures. It is early fall here in America and it is a great time to be outside and to engage in nature photography. My wife and I are outdoors in woodlands and beaches a lot and we also take a lot of pictures. We are interested in birds, especially aquatic birds. We have some interesting birds here but no pelicans.
great photos! i feel like i've just been to Australia... that pelican evidently has superior taste... interesting erosion features on that thinly bedded sandstone...
Lovely photos! A fun virtual field trip for all of us. :) I've come to really enjoy seeing the "opposite" seasons from the Southern Hemisphere--it reminds me that the seasons are always changing and there's always something to appreciate.
LOvely photos! Especially those suspicious characters. They look as if they were looking at you suspiciously as if to say, "What are you staring at?"
So funny that it's spring. We are finally getting autumn and it's cooling down tonight. Hooray!
Paula, we've had a couple of relapses back into cold weather but it's starting to heat up again. I love the in-between seasons.
Hi Brian, pelicans are such interesting birds & those we see on the beaches not far from us are particularly tame. Unfortunately people feed them stuff like chips!
Mudpuddle - superior taste?? He obviously has an addiction.
Hi Amanda, I can't get over how you all survive winter in the USA! It's quite temperate where we are.
They were so funny, Sharon. Hanging around awaiting some poor unsuspecting bird, I suspect.
gorgeous, thanks for sharing
🙂
Lovely! I'm rather envious as here in Ontario, Canada we're leaping rather dramatically into cooler weather. It's been cold, rainy, and windy all week. I miss last week's warmth and sunshine!
Actually Carol, I came here today to thank you for the Youtube playlist you made for The Sea Around Us a while back - I've had it saved all this time and now that my son is beginning the book we get to use it. So thanks! :)
That pelican photo is the best! Thanks for sharing. :)
Hi Laura Jeanne, good to hear it's been helpful. Thanks for letting me know!
You're welcome, Lark. They're spectacular birds.
