Bird, flowers, and Lake George panorama

Some of these were taken with my new Canon DSLR (yay for finally having a DSLR!), others with my higher end Olympus point and shoot.


Firefinch, taken 2 Oct 2011. Taken at a walk in aviary in Canberra, Australia.



Gazania, taken in my backyard, 4 Sep 2011

Lake George, 1 Oct 2011

Lake George is about 30 minutes outside Canberra. It 'mysteriously' (well, at least according to wikipedia) fills and empties. As a result, it's actually owned by farmers and used for grazing when there isn't water. It's a large lake, 25 km (16 mi) long and 10 km (6.2 mi) wide. At the moment, only the southern end seems to have water, from what I could see. Looking at the larger version of the panorama, there are wind turbines in the background, they're a part of Capital Wind Farm.

Oh wow, the photos of the bird and the gazania are especially eye-catching.
