Finally caught up with Joel for a sunset shot at Altona Beach. The weather was meh. But we ended up talking about politics most of the time.

Butterfly macro again for Saturday Critter

 


A 200mm f4 macro on the butterfly. Of course, I spray sugar water on the leaves first so they stay still harvesting the sugar.

Weather has been a bit under me lately. I spent time scanning and editing the old film photos from the days in 2000 doing clinical placement at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. I haven't seen my best friend in medical school over 17 years! He ended up meeting the woman of his life when we worked in New York.

Last night, I had some fine food at a city Japanese restaurant. I did meet a friend but my whole focus was enjoying the dishes off Ala Carte menu. 






I will be heading out with Joel for his birthday dinner tomorrow night.

Parasol for Sunday Best

 


Jackpot getting a cluster of parasol fungi from the weekend before. 

Just came back home from a wedding reception. I suddenly realised I was older and lonely. Sigh...

Mycelium Interruptus Macro



We hit out to Mount Macedon on the weekend. Mushroom hunting 3rd time this year. We noticed many mushrooms were destroyed by others after photographing them. 

The relentless foraging finally got to this one on a dead log so far away from the normal walking paths in Sanitarium Lake. We got the shot this year.

Butterfly for Saturday Critter

 


Thanks for a little break yesterday and today. I am exercising a lot more continuing the success of weight loss. Health is so important as I discovered its importance since last year.

Surfer's paradise urban sunset for Sunday Best

 


On this night, I took night shots in Gold Coast and Brisbane. Joel and I went back to hotel after 2 am. That led to a late riser next morning ready for an adventure to Lamington national park.

Bee for Saturday Critter

 


A bee or wasp. I cannot tell exactly what it is either. I just like the green bokeh. 

It was a late night yesterday. My pal and myself went searching for the sweet spots taking the gorgeous surfer's paradise sunset. It was not a disappointing experience. Persian Dinner at the nearby location too.
