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.

Lake Tyrrell for Tom's Sign2

 

Lake Tyrrell is my regular spot for a sunset snap. Strictly speaking, it is a reverse sunset I am snapping. The word Tyrrell in first nation language means "expanse" or "Space". 

Day 2 in Brisbane, I have captured tons of photos. So unmotivated to attend this conference that does not do updates as they should have. I will aim to explore the sunshine coast tomorrow.

Corra Flynn Cascade Waterfall, Marysville

 

A really nice hidden waterfall, still present after Black Saturday bushfire.  Love the anions emitted by the forest at the same time.

Kookaburra on a tree, Grampians

 

I recalled this one was so loud that it took a little walk to approach her. She did not move at all.

Erskine waterfalls, Lorne, Victoria

 

Erskine waterfalls is very popular along Great Ocean Road. I used to frequent this location in university days once a month. There is a large Spanish population residing in this town. Local Paella is very nice which is only cooked up every Sunday evening.

Murray vs Kokkinakis tennis match over night was a nice one to watch. Just feeling too exhausted to do anything today

Red-browed finch for Eileen's Saturday Critter

 

Red Browed Finch was spotted outside the public toilet in Cranbourne Park. I spent two days looking for nice robins to photograph. Ironically, she was just wandering outside the loo!

Heavy Storm and fog in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia

 

Everything was a blur doing long exposure in the rain. It turns out dreamy in a way

Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia

 

I just love this part of my state. The health system is, however, a wreck. If anyone is not well, it is best to jump into the sea water instead of going into any of these hospitals here. At least one would get a natural death. 

I am finally finishing my round of work. It is time to recuperate over the weekends. So many roads were flooded so badly.
