Wanted for questioning - still at large
Featured “The Woman Photographer” September 1009
Situated in the tree overhanging my balcony. The night prowler … from the Koala invasion series ... and this includes home invasion!!! Not break and enter as front door was open. I am calling the series … The Koala Caper
My belief is that this expression is one of smugness!! A “you dont know what I have been up to and got away with look”.
While this is a more formal shot, the remainder of shots in “The Koala Caper” are not!!!

chijude replied
Shameless … downright unrepentant!!
Thanks Nadine … glad you enjoyed the fun of the Koala caper!!
Dusker
He really is rather cute—wish I had been there to see the fun.

Lori Peters

Fabulous shot Judy , what a little sweety he is ,looks a little more comfy in the tree than he did in the house !!
chijude replied
I am going to call my series The Koala Caper. What do you think.?? Thanks so much for following up and for the favourite. That is special.
However I almost had the feeling that he was going to ask me for a handtowel as he was about to leave the bathroom.!!
AndyGii
Fabulous although I think he is confused. That is not a gum tree
chijude replied
As you know …. so true!!! Andy it was quite mind blowing!!! I didnt know whether to laugh or be serious and get “good shots” ... in the end I just went with “the event” I thought I would never be able to get him out!! It was literally like trying to herd a cat ,.. as he kept changing his mind as he got near the front door and turnng quite confidently back in towards me. I am still shaking my head in disbelief!! ( I always knew that tree would come in handy .. eventually.)
chijude replied
ps I would have enough shots for a whole calendar if I was so inclined!!!!
Trudi's Images
haha ! that would have been funny watching him wipe his hands before he departed !! and thats a great name for the series he has certainly given you some wonderful moments !!
chijude replied
.... as have the Bubblers who have followed his adventures. Thanks so much Trudi!
kalaryder
What a gorgeous picture, perhaps he just wanted a cuddle LOL
chijude replied
That did occur to me … howeve I was very wary of those claws. Up close you quickly decide that it may not be wise to be too personal!!! Thanks for checking each of the images out. I appreciate your interest and support!
robmac

chijude replied

Kay Kempton Raade

That really is a remarkable shot… probably the best I’ve seen of a koala.

Gary ,,.. that is very kind. The koala and I shared quite and adventure … but I thought he was getting a bit too personal when he decided to inspect my loo!!!
