Heron

[nanila]

I took my camera on the daily walk with the baby today in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the heron that's been frequenting our strip of the canal recently. Not only was it around, it was on our lock! It stood for a good long while staring back at us before it flew off, so I got to take some nice shots. All can be clicked to embiggen.

Australian mistletoe and wasp

[calissa]

Stalked mistletoe (Amyema miquellii) on a local eucalypt. This mistletoe is native to Australia and its long, thin leaves mimic many types of eucalypts. The photo was taken back in January, while it was still summer in this hemisphere.
