About Me

WA
An ardent nature lover who is happiest when in the bush. The object of this blog is to record the nature around me, particularly the unusual or rarely encountered flora and fauna.

So I do not set out to portray subjects in high photographic detail, but to show them in an interesting pose and to highlight species characteristics.
