Images I have submitted to photographic competitions / challenges
This is BJ, son of Bubba (in the background), feasting on Cola's dinner. This was taken a while ago now, BJ doesn't look quite so innocent anymore, but still gets away with the occasional feed. Cola (our cat) doesn't seem to mind too much, as long as they stay out of her way she seems ok with them sharing her food from time to time.
Spiders often seem to walk a fine line between being utilitarian constructionists and artists. This particular fellow had no such scruples.
Taken with a FujiFilm S7000 at Mount Cooth-a, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Processed from RAW using UFRaw and the Gimp.
A young Maestro-in-training (selected from the Audience on the night) takes his bow after conducting the Senior Concert Band at The Gap State High School's Cabaret Night.
Up close and personal with a Stratocaster(r) style bridge (on an Aria guitar from MauMusic).

He lowers his binoculars - the pirates are much closer than they first appeared!
Taken at the 2005 Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney, NSW. The ladies on the bike are part of the "Dykes on Bikes" contingent, a clear crowd favourite at every Mardi Gras. There are groups all over the world so I don't know if these two ladies are from the Sydney club or elsewhere. The sound of over 200 loud and proud motorbikes has to be heard to be believed!
An old Morris 1500 sits rusting in the back paddock. Taken at Withcott (just East of Toowoomba), Queensland.
