What an experience! There I was, plodding along a bush track in my pursuit of wildflowers when I saw what I first thought was an piece of discarded old hose lying beside the track only six feet away. On closer inspection I realised that hoses do not have black beady eyes nor do they have a flickering forked tongue. This Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, is a perfect specimen of the very poisonous Australian Pseudonaja textilis (Eastern Brown Snake) and this was a verrrrry BIG boy at over six feet (2m) and as thick as my forearm. When it finally dawned on me just what it was my first instinct was that I just HAD to get a photograph . Verrry slowly and verrry deliberately I lowered my tripod to the ground then made my camera settings. All the while the snake was eyeing me as I was eyeing him and that eye contact was simply amazing. Brave or stupid? So far you my be thinking that I was very brave. (Funnily I was feeling excited not fearful). Now here comes the stupid part! After squeezing off four shots – just to make sure – I decided it would be a good idea to get closer for that REALLY good close-up. I took one step closer and with lighting speed the brown serpent slithered off into the bush and I could still hear him even when he was out of sight. After it disappeared it suddenly dawned on me that as the snake was at least six foot long AND I was only six feet away AND that I had moved closer AND that this was one of Australia’s most venomous reptiles, that God must indeed have been watching over me this day! On a more humorous note I realised that I may have been the very first human being this snake had ever clapped eyes on which was only fair as it was the only Brown Snake that I had ever seen in the wild. [NOTE: For the eye opening facts about the toxicity of this Aussie snake, read Bryan Petersen’s comment below.] The adventure happened along the Ocean Drive Fire Trail in the Queen’s Lake Nature Reserve, North Haven, NSW, Australia, on a lovely spring afternoon.

This was taken from the plane window looking East as we flew over the far north of Canada. As the plane moved further west, the sun sank again below the eastern horizon, that and the surreal frozen landscape below gave this an amazing sense of strangeness and beauty.

This female Eastern bluebird is feeling the effects of the unusually oppressive heat in southern Louisiana during one of the hottest Junes on record. She is industrious and ever vigilant over her nestlings, though, and makes innumerable trips to and from the nest box, hunting for spiders and bugs for her hungry babies and delivering the goods fresh from the fields. She took a little break in the action during the mid morning hours and rested from her labors, looking straight at me to make sure I wouldn’t advance any closer than her normal comfort zone. The Eastern bluebird female has a dusky blue back, a light orangey breast, large expressive eyes, and a long black bill. Not as vibrant as her mate, she amazes me because she seems much bolder than he is. She approaches the nesting box when I’m close by, but he doesn’t dare. These birds have been nesting in my yard for many years now, and it’s a joy to watch their activity especially during the mating season when they are more visible. They are very fond of water and love a good splash in the bird bath. They do not eat from my birdseed feeders, preferring live insects and berries as their main fare. Their scientific name is Sialia Sialis. The bluebirds usually have three clutches per mating season. The pair inhabiting my boxes this year successfully fledged five babies; the second nesting met with disaster when a house sparrow raided the box and killed all the babies; this is their third nesting. Only two of the eggs were productive. With just a pair of nestlings in the box, it’s a bit easier for mom and dad to care for them. The poor little parents are beginning to look ragged, though. The incessant demands are taking a toll on them, especially in this horrible heat. I keep the birdbaths filled with fresh water and they frequent the little pools daily.

This lizard was so irate that I was in his backyard. The look has that, “What ya talking ‘bout Willis?” about it. He was only that tough until I moved closer then bolted away. / / © 2005 Copyright to Cas Digital Photography Photo Lismore Northern Rivers NSW Nikon D70 70-300
