    Wow... you have your own drive way?

    Ya know, I've long admired your lifestyle Looper but this is the icing.

    I used to want Charlie Harper's life, I've even got a bowling shirt... but I reckon yours is better!

    Swap?

    That is the drainage pit which feeds the storm water pipe. Don't know why they made that one 1 metre back from the slab edge. All the other drain pits are flush with the slab.

    Don't know why they used shitty old used white plastic containers for the pits either. Proper black PVC drain pits are only $10 each. Another fix for the long list of jobs.

    The drain pits are getting a work out today as we are in the middle of a multi-day rain event. Kangaroos were looking a little forlorn today in the epic drizzler.

    I love kangas - I know that they are a pain in the arse for farmers and when driving in the bush at night - but they are tops. I love when I holiday in the bush and they all show up in the mornings and evenings.

    The Easter break means I can test my 500mm lens at last. I cycled down to the local lake and took some shots of the ducks. Wife was most disappointed when I got back as I'd told her I was off to shoot some ducks and she was expecting me to bring home a few for dinner...

    Anyway, a couple of long shots that still required a fair bit of cropping...

    A common shag ... for the TD boys

    I tried the 3d focus tracker on the camera but it was difficult to pick up the focus when tracking birds in flight.
    Post a photo a week, of anything/anywhere-heron_2077-jpg

    A grey heron I managed to get in focus...

    Tracking with such a heavy camera was not as difficult as I thought it would be but getting focus with the 3d tracking was. The newer Nikons are apparently much better than my d7100.

    Still, I was a happy bunny with that shot on my first outing...

    Sunny days are few and far between at the moment in deepest Bavaria.

    I managed another couple of hours practice photographing birds in flight.

    Post a photo a week, of anything/anywhere-greylag_2137-jpg

    A Greylag goose on approach, but camera lost focus during landing. A pity because I didn't really know before that there are feathers on the wing that act as lift dumps. I want a picture of one landing from behind now to show what I mean.

    Post a photo a week, of anything/anywhere-gull_2215-jpg

    No idea about the types of gulls but we are nowhere near the sea. Anyway, I didn't know some had blue eyes. My tracking with camera needs improving as I snapped this on the left so don't have enough space in the picture for the bird to fly into. I've seen some photoshopping techniques to copy parts of the picture from one side to the other that I need to try.

    Post a photo a week, of anything/anywhere-greylag_flight_2286-jpg

    A couple more Greylags in flight...

    Borrowed the first and part of the last line from an internet meme but the rest I wrote this morning...no, no idea why. But it is too hot and sticky to do anything energetic.

    We were wolves once, wild and wary.
    Roaming free on the land, cunning and scary.
    Feared for our courage, in a pack or alone.
    Skilled powerful hunters, we held nature’s throne.
    A slave to no-one, never hungry for long.
    Boundless energy, stealthy and strong.
    Noble in spirit, with a keen independence.
    We had such hope for our descendants.
    We approached your camps, surrender not in our plans.
    But then they noticed…you had sofas and fans.

    Great pics of birds in flight, Troy.
    Love the Kangaroo pics, Looper. That is something we never see here.
    Nice pic, Ukan and Bogan (sweet dogs).
