A native of northeast Queensland, the southern Cassowary has a powerful kick with a large, dagger shaped claw upwards of 120mm long. Only the Ostrich and the Emu are larger in size. A flightless bird, it can run fast. A bird to keep well away from. #birds #cassowary #queensland #wildlife

Taken in 2011. Noticed a potential lovely shot as they waited in the stadium for the action to start. Waited until luck presented the moment I wanted. Only one chance to shoot. Crocoseum, Australia Zoo. #family #portrait #australia #queensland #photography

Waikumete Cemetery, Auckland, New Zealand. Rescued image so image quality not the best. Sweet, angelic, white figurine contrasts with the roughness of the stone grave. #cemetery #cemeteries #grave #graves #gravestone #graveyard #taphophile #photography #cemeteryphotography #cemeterylovers

Sometimes I miss and sometimes one comes along and I get it. #queensland #australia #lightning #weather #storm

Black & white version of a previous edit. The white flower demanded this edit so I listened. #waterlily #plants #flower #photography

This scene pushed me to shoot for a painted look. Shot against a green algae covered stream to isolate the back lit leaves. #leaves #plants #photography #backlit

What's better than one water lily flower. #flower #plant #photography
