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.

Walk A Fine Line

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.

Pirate Spotting

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 <a href="http://www.dykesonbikessydney.org.au/">"Dykes on Bikes"</a> 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!

Airbus A380 - As far into the hangar as it gets

This is the new A380 when it made it's first visit to Australian soil - touching down at Brisbane airport for a quick Quantas paintjob before heading down south. Note the size of the massive semi-trailer parked on the apron of the hangar, then look at the plane! Maximum takeoff weight: 590,000 kg (1,300,700 lbs) - yup, a MILLION POUNDS! If you love your specs, you can check out some good A380 stats at <a href="http://www.thaitechnics.com/aircraft/a3xx.html" target="_blank">Thai Technics</a>
