iPhone photo. Not great but still nice
Walk in the forest photo.
Flowing water was playing with light and making patterns on the surface. Reflexions of the sky and woods add to all this layering of things.

Just over 2 years ago, the only restored and operational “Big Boy” steam locomotive in existence came through Ogden UT on tour. I hiked about 4 miles up the tracks 6 hours before it’s passing, in order to get photos sans the crowds of people that flocked out to see it. It’s a MASSIVE piece of equipment - a 4-8-8-4 configuration that is 132’ long, and a staggering 1.2 million lbs.
Good afternoon to everyone.
This is a photo of a Bennett's Wallaby I took on a walk earlier in the year. I guess it was around 5m away.
Here is a little about them taken from this website:
Bennett's Wallabies - known as the red-necked wallaby on mainland Australia, is one of Tasmania's most commonly seen native animals.
Males can weigh more than 20 kg and stand up to 1.5 m tall. They can be distinguished from the pademelon and kangaroo by their black nose and paws, and white stripe on the upper lip.
They are largely solitary, although loose groups, known as mobs, often share common feeding areas. They feed at afternoon and dusk, generally grazing on grass and herbs.
There is a distinct breeding season, with births occurring late summer to early autumn.The gestation period is 30 days. Pouch life is about 280 days and weaning occurs at 12-17 months.
We often see these Wallabies on our walks/in the bush behind our property, and a mother and her joey come most evenings to feed on our front lawn. They don't much care for us shining a torch on them and saying hello!
I hope everyone is staying safe and is enjoying a peaceful and happy day/evening.

2 years ago took from my beach apartment in Cabedelo, Brazil.
I belive those flowers are digitalus, or foxglove, not lupin.
Thank you ! I just thought they looked liked Lupins - but i think you are spot on. Thanks for that
Winter has arrivd the last week in Tassie. While we live by the coast, and have only had snow on the Mt Wellington (first post in this thread), I have downloaded and post here some photos taken over the weekend all around the Central Highlands- around 3 - 4 hours drive from us - and obviously in someone's back yard! That is a Bennett's Wallaby - a young female.
It gets like these for a month or three every winter in the Central Highlands - depending on the winter. Closes alot of roads.
Hope everyone is having a great week.

That is hot, but the fire's are just a real horror..words can not help, just the dedicated fire men that risk their own lives...respect for them...The world is a changing..not for the better of.......
Fun Photos..right...I laughed at this, so must be a fun one...
