A friend once described this photo as a shot of the Yugo of horses : ) Can’t really argue, but I still like the pic. / Canon 20D & 28-135mm IS USM.
These pics were taken at Ryber castle….
My friend Kenrick Rampial gave me permission to draw this from a photo he has on his profile page i saw it and just wanted to draw it…..........So if any of you out there have any requests let me know i do normally only draw animals though but hey what you think?
This wild sparrow was quite tame. Taken at Auckland Domain where everyone spends their summer days feeding the birds – ducks, geese, pigeons, sparrows! I made my daughter hold out some bread so i could practise photographing birds in flight. It was really hard, and of 100 photos I took like this, only 2 turned out. Going back next week for more practise :)

A sleepy Rabbit what a cute little guy… (-:
Jill and I had a MAJOR breakthru last week! I went to see her in the shelter of Cone Grove but she wasn’t there. I walked out a bit to where she’s usually hiding if not in the grove and she was munching dried weeds in the middle of Weedy Field. I called to her and once she knew it was me, she resumed eating without fear, letting her ears rise to hear for threats from elsewhere. I watched her for a while and took a pile of pictures (not really photographs as I was aiming to see what she was eating with no effort to capture anything else well. I saw that she wasn’t going to be leaving any time soon so I went back into Cone Grove and restocked the sunflower seeds I saw her munching once before before returning to the new hummingbird feeder to refill it. But I heard a crunch behind me and it was Jill who had followed me into the Grove! I was blown away and she was freaked: so scared her eyes were open painfully wide, her ears were aimed at me for the slightest sign she needed to leave, and she was faced towards the easiest way out of the Grove. But she was THERE and she had obviously followed me in! I was so happy I did my usual ‘freeze completely and talk to her softly’ thing. I about a minute, she relaxed (as usual) and went to the sunflower seeds, looking up at me. I had to laugh but gave her the usual encouraging sounds and she began eating – like a HOG! Good grief, I thought she’d dropped her bunnies already. LOL! I’m almost positive she did but maybe she’s hungry from the feeding of her ‘hare batch’. I sat down without her even stopping to get ready to run (as she usually does), got the Nikon D80 out, and got it focused on her as she ate. I turned off the auto focus to make less noise and disturb her less but she got so used to the sound of the shutter that I turned the auto focus back on and enjoyed the company. Less than 6 feet away from me, a wild jack rabbit was eating from the food I’d originally put out for Towhees and completely calm! Woo hoo! When she’s finished, I talked to her and she looked at me with the most relaxed and interested eyes I’ve seen on anything other that lizards and squirrels – way more intent and intelligent that blue jays, the turkey, and Towhees. This is a shot of Jill listening to me talk to her. I hope to get closer still with some carrots and her continuing to follow me soon. But WOW!!!
The Leopolds’ galah
He was a gorgeous little chap and so friendly … I wondered if he’d been hand reared as he always appeared when we arrived and disappeared when other birds were about. / If you look closely you can see flecks of red just starting to grow in his bib!
A depiction of trying to keep overwhelming forces under control. Based on a statue I photographed in Zurich last week. I was there trying to organise paperwork, and realised we had been misled and things delayed by a month.
It’s fair to say that theres a lot of water in the waves lip! Jake Stone on lunatics wave at Luna Parks.
Last night I found the contents of a garbage bag dragged along the back yard of my South London home, so I decided to catch the culprit tonight after his evening of celebrating. Just gone midnight young Brer Fox turned up. “Who me?” said his look and with a quiet pop he was immortalised by the Fox Paparazzi forever!

A color pencil drawing of a scene uncommon in the world we live in. A little girl holding tightly to her pet, a tiger cub. This is one of my favorite pieces. It shows the innocence of child and a tame look of an exotic animal.
The birds down the south coast where I lived were so tame – and there were so many of them! Some would cling onto the gauze door trying to get attention!! This fellow was happy to sit on the fence and feed himself.
This is a digital collage. I created the background with FraxPlorer, altered it in PSP, using filters and then added photos which again i altered in PSP, and by using filters. The Blue Horse in a Cage… represents Nature. Presumably caged, tamed, locked away, safe… but that is an illusion. Nature is always stronger than we are, we cannot tame it, nor can we control it. When Nature unleashes her forces, we are powerless… thanks for stock goes to: Lockstock / IWS-Stock / Stock-by-Kai

Our Nutty Buddy. We named him Nigel. He came everyday to the cottage deck to see us and was very well fed. We invented a whole life story for him and hoped the Mrs. and kiddies were happy with all the fantastic food he brought home every night! / Clear Lake ,Ontario CANADA, August 2009 / Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-200mm lens
As you can see Nigel continued to entertain us and was a source of amusement the whole week we were there. / Clear Lake ,Ontario CANADA, August 2009 / Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-200mm lens
“Chipmunks are small squirrel-like rodents of the genus Tamias. They are native to North America and Asia. Tamias is Greek for “storer,” a reference to the animals’ habit of collecting and storing food for winter use. At the beginning of autumn, many species of chipmunk begin to stockpile these goods in their burrows, for winter. Other species make multiple small caches of food. These two kinds of behavior are called larder hoarding and scatter hoarding. Larder hoarders usually live in their nests until spring. Chipmunks have an omnivorous diet consisting of grain, nuts, birds’ eggs, small frogs, fungi, worms, and insects. Chipmunks construct expansive burrows which can be more than 3.5 m in length with several well-concealed entrances. The sleeping quarters are kept extremely clean as shells and feces are stored in refuse tunnels. These small mammals fulfill several important functions in forest ecosystems. Their activities harvesting and hoarding tree seeds play a crucial role in seedling establishment. They consume many different kinds of fungi, including those involved in symbiotic mycorrhizal associations with trees and serve as prey for a variety of animals and birds but are predators themselves particularly with regards to bird eggs and nestlings.” / ~Wikipedia Clear Lake ,Ontario CANADA, August 2009 / Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-200mm lens Featured ImageWriting September 2009
