It helps to have a campervan to camp near the wetlands. I didn't have to get up at super stupid o'clock. I still needed a short drive in the dark though. Lovely photo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is a Corella, it might be possible, I don't know, but I have never heard of pet Corellas. It's common with its cousin the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo. This individual loves Elvis apparently.

I keep thing one’s head will twist off. They love to dance, but I seldom see two dance at the same time. One always looks intimidated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) We've been getting a lot of rain these days, which is unusual for August...normally our driest month of the summer. My neighbor has a large hibiscus bush between our homes so I took out my 100 macro between raindrops. I loved this beading of water on another plant leaf....learned it is called "hydrophobic"!

Thyrsis Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 When we moved to our house in 1987 there were two clumps of Echinops in the garden. We cut them down every autumn and the next year without fail they grow and flower again. The bees love them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 Gorgeous images! I like to take raindrop or dewy plant images, too. And it seems, by my own choices without deliberate conscience thought, purple is my favorite flower choice. 😊 Kind of like when I look in my closet, I see a lot of blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Hercule the giant house spider (probably eratigena atrica). He was wandering about the kitchen floor so I put him under house arrest for a while. Not sure- I may have already put this up. Comet Neowise last month from the bedroom window.
