Taken for the Fujimugs "Texture" challenge. Placed 43/81. This version has a reduced border with a clean edge, rather than the large, feathered edge border I submitted for the challenge.
The root shown here is that of the Strangler Fig which makes it's way in life by wrapping it's aerial roots around host trees, ultimately consuming them.

Downstream from the falls on Mount Tambourine, in the Gold Coast Hinterlands, Queensland.
This is a blended exposure from two shots in order to preserve the shadow and highlight details simultaneously

A father occupies himself while watching over his sleeping son. All around are waiting for the midnight fireworks but these two are an island of tranquility in a busy crowd.
(Placed 11th in the FujiMugs challenge "Festivities").

This Butcher Bird came right up to me while I was walking around Kangaroo Point a few weeks ago (same time as Succulent Lizard). I suspect he was used to getting fed by passers-by on their lunch breaks, alas I had nothing for him but some attention.

Taken at the Botanical Gardens, Gardens Point, Brisbane (Aust). This fellow was wary of me but obliged me with some brief posing. He is an <i>Eastern Water Dragon</i> or <i>Physignathus leseuerii</i>,
