G'day
Emu, Caravan Park Nyngan
Waking to the sound of birds I sighed happily, knowing we were really on holiday but when I stuck my head outside the door of the caravan I didn’t expect this fellow eyeing me off.
Emus can be quite aggressive in grabbing food from your hand or when picnicking snatching food when you are not watching. I've had no experience of them biting for other reasons.
Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale. Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.
The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull! But there is something of interest in the image. These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today. On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
I wonder if he/she can win a stare-off against Julia Bishop?
ReplyDeleteOh very cool.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I'd like him following me to the toilet, though.
@winam - he's much more attractive than Julie B (she creeps me out).
JE - thought you might find this interesting.
Strange goings on in Junee.

ReplyDeleteI think Julie Bishop would win the stare-off.

Do they bite?
