Common Tree Snake

Melaleuca forest - Whitsundays Queensland

It's still a young snake about 40cm long, which is about half the length of an adult. They are non-venomous, have only small teeth and no fangs. This snake was just found by our guide (as we went on an eco tour into the estuaries of the Whitsundays) and being handled by a few curious onlookers in our group.

Mud Bath

Procepine River, Queensland

These estuarine crocodiles are abundant, basking in the sun along the river banks to warm themselves during the cool winter. Some are weary of our approach, but others like this one is quite oblivious. We still kept our distance.

Cottontop Tamarin

Symbio Wildlife Park - Wollongong

The Cottontop Tamarin is a small monkey about the size of a squirrel found in the tropical forest edges and secondary forests. These monkeys were very agile but this one remained still for a moment whilst having a bite of his fruit.

Chipmunk

This chipmunk, spotted at Lake Agnes Teahouse, Lake Louise, has grown accustomed to humans and came pretty close for a feed. As I observed, it has a pretty high diet (to its detriment) of French fries!

Red Jellyfish

Tiburonia Grarajo - California Academy of Sciences , San Francisco

The rich colours of the Red Jellyfish with the blue background offered a very attractive image. This jellyfish is different to other normal jellyfish in that they do not have marginal tentacles, but instead have flesh oral arms that they use to eat. They are also known as the Big Red as they can grow up to one metre in diameter and are mainly found in very deep and cold waters.

Tranquility

 Lac Beauvert at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Canadian Rockies

I like the early morning reflection of Mount Edith Cavell on (Lake) Lac Beauvert, one of the gems of Jasper National Park.. There was a light breeze blowing, evident by ripples in the water.

Known also by its Aboriginal name 'Uluru' it is a sacred part of Aboriginal creation mythology, or dreamtime - ie, reality being a dream.

Rock Spider

It is always exciting like I was when it comes to getting a new lens. I recently purchased a Canon Macro EF 100mm 1:2.8 lens and immediately started looking for miniature subjects to shoot. This might not be everyone's favourite subject but it did stir my passion for macro photography.
