It was freezing cold today, with even a bit of snow. Too cold to spend much time outside but we stopped on the way home from lunch and I found this empty snail shell.
I haven't seen this bird at the pond before. It's white plumage stood out against the water and, although it's not a great photo, I was pleased to be able to snap it as it spread its wings and took flight.
After a sunny morning, the clouds swept in and it was starting to rain by the time I got around to taking a photo. However, I like the layers of clouds shown in this photo.
Hey, it's more than a week since I last posted a photo of the cygnets. Photographing the cygnets is always an interesting exercise - trying to get close enough to get a good photo but not so close that I incur the wrath of the papa swan.
I love camellias, so take every opportunity to photograph them. I found this one in a garden in Mulgoa, where we spent the weekend. Plus I like the added interest of the ants.
