oil on canvas. from trip to PNG in 1988.
I liked the tranquil posture and colours of the scene.
Hamerton Wildlife Park Zoo / Hamerton / Near Sawtry / Cambs UK Wallabies are widely distributed across Australia, particularly in more remote, heavily timbered, or rugged areas. These herbivores (plant eaters) eat grass, leaves, and roots They swallow their food without chewing it and later regurgitate a cud and chew it.
We have about 20 guineas of 5 different colors but this young hen is my favorite, a white. She was at my feet as I was taking some photo’s of the horses playing in the pond so I snapped this one.
a photo of a new born Guinea, i raise them and i love playing with a digital camera…...I have another shot of this in a different light, ill try to find it.
The Lanner Falcon is a large bird of prey that breeds in Africa, southeast Europe and just into Asia. The Lanner Falcon is a bird of open country and savanna. It usually hunts by horizontal pursuit, rather than the Peregrine’s stoop from a height, and takes mainly bird prey in flight. It lays 3-4 eggs on a cliff ledge nest, or occasionally in an old stick nest in a tree. They are bred in captivity for falconry; hybrids with the Peregrine Falcon are also often seen. Merret claimed that the “lanar” lived in Sherwood Forest and the Forest of Dean in England; such populations would seem to derive from escaped hunting birds of the nobility.

Cute guinea pig talking
Dani warriors,Baliem valley.
This is Lucky. He was raised by me. He was so small that he could not even walk , one person had said to me. I would splash him through the toilet. I could not believe it. He came from a friend of mine, her Guinea pig had given birth and she had no time to feed him, so I took him home. After two weeks he opened one eye. Then the next day the other eye. I never forget that big brown eye all of a sudden looking at me. And still he has those beautiful eyes. He is a real ladies man. And the girls hang around his enclosure a lot.
We gave him this name because he has a white dot on his nose
Our guinea-pig is very comfortable.
Our long haired guinea pig
This is our Patch. He is a very cuddly Guinea pig . And also loves his food. Especially grapes.
Frederick is one of our new guinea’s we adopted last week. When he arrived at our place we first had to cut out his knots and gave him a nice bath. Now he smells beautiful. Image was taken in the backyard by my daughter’s cubby house. Here Fred is looking outside towards his new yard , which will be his new living area.
Lucy came at our place the same time as Frederick. She also needed some TLC. She is soft and cuddly now.
A Eucalyptus Gum tree in the Yarra Ranges , Victoria, Australia recovering from the fire of Black Saturday February 7, 2009 On warm days vapourised Eucalyptus oil rises above the bush to create the characteristic distant blue haze of the Australian landscape. Eucalyptus oil is highly flammable (trees have been known to explode and bush fires can travel easily through the oil-rich air of the tree crowns. The dead bark and fallen branches are also flammable. Eucalypts are well adapted for periodic fires via lignotubers and epicormic buds under the bark. / Eucalypts originated between 35 and 50 million years ago, not long after Australia-New Guinea separated from Gondwana, their rise coinciding with an increase in fossil charcoal deposits (suggesting that fire was a factor even then), but they remained a minor component of the Tertiary rainforest until about 20 million years ago when the gradual drying of the continent and depletion of soil nutrients led to the development of a more open forest type, predominantly Casuarina and Acacia species. With the arrival of the first humans about 50 thousand years ago fires became much more frequent and the fire-loving eucalypts soon came to account for roughly 70% of Australian forest.~Wikipedia / Nikon D300; Nikkor Lens :18-200mm ED VR / 18mm, 1/250s, f/9.0, ISO: 400 /
He either smells the bush or…. Patch our guinea-pig was sitting next to my walking boots.
I was on a diving trip a couple of years ago and we were moored next to this colorful houseboat at a wharf in Papua New Guinea.
I just entered a Challenge in the Goldrush & Ghost Town group and I bought out this vial to use the gold nuggets for the image. In World War 2 my step-grandfather, an Australian soldier who was a truck driver in the war was stationed all over, at one point he was in Papua New Guinea and he and other soldiers acquired this gold, I assume they found it themselves because I have a whole vial of it, most is just gold dust and flakes which look silver as you can see but throughout is nice nuggets. / It contains one more interesting thing, a gold tooth from the enemy. War is no time for sentiment and when a gold tooth was spotted on a dead soldier it was taken out, hook and all. / Look in the vial and you can see the gold tooth with the sharp golden hook for insertion into the gum. 1945 War booty of a golden tooth from a dead enemy soldier in Papua New Guinea, I find it really interesting in a slighty ghastly sort of way, war history in my vial.
