Misty Morn

Misty Morn

Shot this back in November, 2004, when the grass was much greener, and there was water in the dam. There’s only been water in that dam one other time since then, and it lasted around 6 weeks….this is a nice reminder of what we used to have….

Sold this a number of times pre-redbubble, mostly A3 size, and it won me a $1500 prize from the Brisbane City Council, as well the John Herbert medal at APSCON 2005, and also a number of other smaller prizes. This was sold december 2008 on redbubble as a matted print.

    Thanks so much Hans, Haydn and Benjamin. I was aiming for the white bird, didn’t even see the ducks or wallaby until I got home and put it up on the screen. First time I’ve seen a white bird at the dam, both before this, and after…

    Thanks so much IR, I hope to see it again soon too! Unfortunately the kangaroos decided to breed madly with the last little bit of rain we had in Nov 2006, and all of a sudden there are thousands of them! Nothing green stands a chance :(

  • Arletta

    Okay, this is like one of those “find all the” grade school piccies, then, is it? I see two kinds of animal, so, where is the third?

    I shan’t tell which two, though, or where, in case someone else wants to play.

    Anyway, this is lovely! This is the sort of shot that honors the capturer, the capturies, and all the looky-loos that come by to see it later.

  • Arletta

    Arletta

    ahem Never mind! I spotted the third, once I looked at the larger view!
