Stunning images Isac, were these taken at you local lake?

2 doors down in the front yard of a friend's house. Charlie decided to venture off in another direction today so glad he did.

So less than 100 metres from the front door, how good is that.

[Isac]

As good as one could hope for John. I do stand back now and then and think how lucky I am to live in this environment smack bang in the middle of modern suburbia. It really is amazing.

Excellent images Isac. I like the way you have composed them to include the flowers.

Thanks Gentlemen - appreciated. The parrot was in another tree, a lot less interesting and just as I was about to shoot, it took off and I thought I'd missed getting a good shot. But to my joy, it just flew to the nearby banksia and perched on the flower. Then it turned it5s head as if to ask "Is this a better shot?". I whispered "yes it is in fact" and the rest is history
