Strange Blob!

Lump of coral?

Here is a "strange blob" that was found on the sea shore. Is it coral, or some strange variety of seaweed? Maybe some web user out there knows - feel free to leave a comment with any ideas you have!

New life!

New shoots



Sun shining through leaves

To celebrate Easter, I have this post illustrating "new life". (Top): Quite a good close-up of some new shoots springing from the soil. (Above): A photo of the sun shining through some new leaves. Notice the ant at the top left corner!

Mushroom

Large Mushroom

This mushroom has quite a long stem to go with it's large head. Notice the small ring about 1/3 of the way down the stem. This photo was taken near Sydney, NSW.

This is a beautiful picture of a many-petaled flower. A soft-focus filter has been applied to create the blur effect at the edges

Kangaroo caught mid-air!

The kangaroo in this photo has been caught mid-jump while it was still in the air! The posture of the kangaroo is about the same as the one on the tail of Qantas planes.

An interesting perspective on a sea shell at the shore in the sand! This photo was taken at Moonee Beach in NSW, Australia.

"English" Countryside

Lush green grassy hill

I think this hill looks a lot like England, although the photo was actually taken at Moonee Beach, Coffs Harbour (see Sunrise at Moonee Beach). For those who know the Windows XP default desktop background "bliss": How do you think this would do as a replacement?

Wave breaking over rocks

Wave Breaking

Wave breaking

This photo shows the amazing power of a wave! The splash from this wave has burst high into the air, and it's movement is captured in the image, making it seem as if the wave is about to fall to the ground as you watch! This photo is also taken at Moonee Beach, near Coffs Harbour, NSW Australia.

This is a photo of the sunrise at Moonee beach (Coffs Harbour, NSW).

Water from the sky...

Water droplet splashing into puddle

Water droplet landing

I have managed to get access to a computer, so here is a photo that I shot recently. I actually managed to get the water droplet as it was splashing!
