A Bird's Soul .........

Time To Reflect

On these wet and wintry days when photography is less active it gives me time to reflect and view my photos that I have acquired while looking through the camera lens into the private lives of my subjects.

The subject in this photo is of a female Australian White-backed Magpie  Gymnorhina tibicen (race: telonocua) photographed at American River - Kangaroo Island 2010 and if every picture tells a story, then this one certainly does!

'PENSIVE'

Do you ne'er think what wondrous beings these?
Do you ne'er think who made them, and who taught
The dialect they speak, where melodies
Alone are the interpreters of thought?
Whose household words are songs in many keys,
Sweeter than the instrument of man e'er caught!
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The Magic Of Winter...

As winter closes in, we're re-visiting some of our best photos

Winter is a magic time on Kangaroo Island and the Fluerieu Peninsula, but wet and windy conditions do restrict our opportunities to get out and about with our cameras - not to mention the 'wings and wildlife' we like to photograph stay out of the bad weather too!

So we're taking the opportunity to look back at what we believe to be our best photos - and each week we'll be posting one of our photos we're particularly proud of, here on our blog page.

Superb Fairy-wren (female)

To start off, we were very happy with this shot of this little female Superb Fairy-wren Malurus cyaneus, which we managed to photograph at Vivonne Bay on Kangaroo Island.....

Our book 'Vivonne Bay Blue' captures the personalities of these dear little birds and is available from selected outlets on Kangaroo Island and the Fleruieu Peninsula.
