    he is soooo cute!

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    Yes, they are cute, but frustratingly very inactive most of the time! Thank you for commenting, Susan.

    Stunning shot, cute and beautiful

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    Hi Barry, I appreciate your feedback. Thanks so much.

    What a great shot! Brilliant, Elaine.

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    I’m pleased you like this shot, Bernd, and I appreciate you taking time to comment. As you know, they don’t exactly strike interesting poses. It’s hard to get them looking at all animated. But this one was hungry for those juicy, young leaves, so my luck for a bit of action!

    lovely work, but your model either had a bad hair day or a fright!!!

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    Ha, ha, ha, ha…....it probably looks like my hair in the mornings! Thanks for the encouragement with this photograph – I really appreciate your feedback.

    He/she looks very vivid, wich is indeed very rare with these lay back aussies.
    Great catch.

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    It is in fact a very young and pregnant “She”. How well you understand the Aussie way of life, MaryO! I love your comparison to these little citizens.

    Must be the month for koalas!!! This gorgeous little guy isn’t very old. Bet Healesville Sanctuary is an amazing place :D Fantastic photo, btw, captured such a brilliant expression!!!

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    Thanks georgiegirl. Yes, that expression says, “I just gotta get those leaves, I just gotta!”

    Aw bless! What a cutie!

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    Thanks, Krys. Yes, the are rather cute, though not the most energetic – but then who would be if Eucalyptus leaves were the staple diet!

    Very cute, seems different to other koalas – a youngie, or baby??

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    Thank you for visiting my site, ILZEcee. I believe this is a young female koala.
