a photo every day for a year
Kaylee looks so cute when her little paws line up in a row like that! Well, she looks cute all the time, but this is a specific pose she does!
I bought a little pet igloo for Kaylee, thinking she would like the enclosed shape of it. She hasn’t used it much, but she had a play in it today!
This is Kaylee. She is 13 weeks old today, a mini lop rabbit, and too cute for words!
Today was a good day for lying down and doing nothing; I think it was too hot for her to do much else.
There are so many bunnies in Artarmon (as I’ve mentioned before)! I called this one Peter, because I thought he looked a bit like Beatrix Potter’s creation.
I love the depth of field and bokeh in this photo!
I continued to try to capture the lorikeets flying. I learned a bit from seeing how fast they were… I nearly froze this one, not perfectly, but I quite like it anyway.
This is one of the Lorikeets I mentioned earlier… and it’s also the tree I mentioned that attracts the birds. I spent the morning trying to catch the birds flying, but the only decent photos were the ones I got in the tree.
I love how this bird looks like he’s telling another bird off for something!
This is a Lorikeet flying away from our building.
Lorikeets are pretty common in Australia. Like rabbits, they tend to come out at the start and end of the day, and there’s someone in our building that has a nice tree and puts out bird feed to attract them. I’ve tried to capture them in flight, but they’re bloody fast! I quite like the abstract nature of this photo though: it looks like a painting despite little post-processing, and it seems to emphasise that they actually are quite quick, and beautifully colourful.
This is one of the bunnies that frequents Wickham Park in Artarmon.
Artarmon is teeming with bunnies that come out in the cools of the day (after sunrise and during sunset). Some people tell me it’s because people keep them at their apartments and then let them loose when they move away. That’s a bit of a sad reason, but whatever the reason I don’t mind because they’re so cute!
This is my friend Steve’s snake. His name is Pompey (after Julius Caesar’s ally). He is well cool.
Yes, he is in the middle of eating a mouse (it was dead first, although Pompey didn’t know that).
I didn’t get a butterfly the day before, but I saw one on this day. It was a beautiful big butterfly, but I discovered it’s extremely difficult to get a photo of a butterfly while they’re in flight and rather difficult to get a really nice one while they’re landed.
It’s a nice practice in patience and perseverance trying to get a photo of subjects like these.
