One more shot from the wetlands at Yeppoon,
Ibis practising synchronised flying.
A daytrip to the Rockhampton Botanical Gardens
Red Dragonfly resting by the Waterlily pond in
the Japanese garden.
Tropical trees are not my speciality, it had no label
but was tall and wide and covered in vermillion
flowers and cheeky Noisy Miner birds.
The Egret rookery, one did have to watch out
from above.
The youngsters were just hangin' round, being bored
what is there to do except scratch yourself?
Hey, something is happening, is that mother ?
False alarm, just an Ibis flapping by!
flew right by...
Birds of another feather, a domestic Goose hanging
round with an Ibis and being spied on by a Moor Hen
towards Carnarvon Gorge. Next week if you are patient,
the next exciting episode, a walk in the gorge.

ReplyDeleteThe water lillies with the reflection is a lovely shot! What a great jigsaw puzzle that would make!
ReplyDeleteFabulous post as always, Arija! Couldn't begin to pick a favorite because they are all so beautiful! Isn't it wonderful to have public gardens, zoos etc. available so we can appreciate nature's many blessings! Thanks for sharing Your World, as always!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Have a wonderful week.

ReplyDeleteWhat beauty you have shared today, thank you.
ReplyDeleteWow. Those are gorgeous compositions. Really good stuff! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe Ibis photos are spectacular. What an awesome bird. Your captures are wonderful. The waterlilies are enchanting.
ReplyDeleteThe composition of your photographs is amazing. I can't even imagine how you got that perfect shot of the ibis in flight! And the red dragonfly against the gray rock - spectacular. I love your captions, too.
ReplyDeleteWow, what great shots. Love the "flying" captures.
ReplyDeleteLovely garden. Love those water lilies, they looked so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always such a delight to see. They always make me smile. Thanks for visiting. Be well...
ReplyDeleteArija, all these images are wonderful, as are the birds. I've enjoyed Yeppoon thru your eyes and look forward to next weeks adventure.
ReplyDeleteVery nice post and you caught them in synchrony (first picture), and I love the waterlilies.
ReplyDeleteWow! We posted on similar lines today. :)
ReplyDeleteI clicked to enlarge the birds, and they were superb. Thanks for that tip on the book, I will pick it up soon.
Quite a wonderful assortment of photos. I wanted to see a really BIG ibis flying against the blue sky, but it was only a bit bigger. Ah well, the amazing quantity of top class photos make up for it. The water lilies are gorgeous, too. And thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. Happy Spring to you!
ReplyDeleteYou took these shots!!?? These are excellent...I liked them a lot..:) Wonderfull....BTW I am an ardent traveler.

Loved your little captions..I can lose myself watching birds..
ReplyDeleteI love the variety of shots you showed us. What a beautiful place. I wish I could visit there sometime.
ReplyDeleteGreat to go to Yeppoon with you Arija, a long time since I have been there!
ReplyDeleteThe tree with orange fowers..I think it is an african tulip? I am not real great with names either...but I think that is it. I have them growing at home.
Phenomenal captures. I especially love the first one!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful post, those birds are gorgeous. The dragonfly was such an intense bright color, I have never seen one like that before. All your photos were very enjoyable, and such a nice variety. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE DOMESTIC GOOSE! I HAVE ONE OF MY OWN! Wonder who he would chose to have an afternoon chat with?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tour you took me on
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos. Couldn't imagine what South Australia looked like, but now I know.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful ! you are so lucky to be able to watch these beautiful birds ! The Ibis "training" is amazing !
ReplyDeleteArija, you always manage to take such intriguing, beautiful and cheerful pictures! I love your world, so a big thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat red dragonfly is amazing! I have never seen one that color!
ReplyDeleteLove the post, great shots!
Thanks for sharing these great pictures of your world. I especially liked the last one with the stranded boats. I look forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots & great captures of the birds in flight!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots!! Felt like I was there, wish i was....
ReplyDeleteYour shots are extraordinary! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous place! And great photos! I especailly like the lilies and the birds in flight!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, the first one and the water lilies were my favorite. I was amused by your commentaries, really enjoyed reading them.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are amazing, beautiful colours and wonderful subjects. Thank you so much for sharing your part of our world.

Hi Arija, It is really good to take the time and enlarge the pictures. the Ibis are spectacular, their wings like fancy tutus. The tree with the red flowers is an African tulip tree, Spathodea campanulata. The flowers are stunning but the smell is foetid as it is a relative of the Stapeliads Huernia (carniverous plants).I enjoy the pictures and your comments , it is just like being there!
ReplyDeleteThese are AMAZING photographs. I can't decide which is the best and I'm glad I don't have to!
ReplyDeleteI do adore the ibis, though. The way you captured the birds flying in a trio. Just gorgeous.
Thanks for the visit to my humble photo blog!
How interesting to compare your birds and plants with ours. We have cattle egrets and blue herons here.
ReplyDeleteI noticed a persimmon in yesterday's photos. Our native persimmon is not very tasty, but a beautiful tree.
Wonderful repoain and such qualtiy shots to accompany. I love it all. The photos, the info and especially the funny captions. Thanks for todays tour.
ReplyDeleteGreat birds in flight photos.
ReplyDeleteStunnind as always. I really do enjoy visiting your site every week and being overawed by it all. Thanks for sharing. In answer to your question. No I don't fish as it doesn't appeal to me but quite a few do. Not from the quayside that you can see though I have seen a few young children fishing there but further along the breakwater out to sea. Maybe next week I will post one from there.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. I just love to visit botanical gardens, we went to the University of Michigan gardens over the weekend and there were so many pretty flowers in bloom. I really like your top photo of the birds in flight.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your post.The first picture look great.
ReplyDeleteKeep posting........
Wonderful ibis shots and the synchronized formation was priceless.
ReplyDeleteArija this glimpse into your world is simply wonderful! I see birds that I would never at home..I did run into an egret out here in the desert lands though!!
ReplyDeleteYES..shocked me too..I'll post about that soon!! Loved seeing your world! hugs
Such gorgeous pictures! It's so hard to pick one, but I really love the first picture.
ReplyDeleteWow...these are some great shots! I love that first one! Several others really caught my eye, too, but when I get to comments where I can't see them, I forget which ones. I liked the goose.
ReplyDeleteA true delight,
ReplyDeletethank you! :-)
Australia's flora and fauna are out of this world beautiful.
Dear Arija, I never so anything like your Ibis practising synchronised flying! What a wonderful picture! Thank you for sharing all those wonderful things! Hugs, Maria
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, I love the goose pretending to be an ibis! This looks like a fabulous place with so much colour and so many things to see.
ReplyDeleteThe birds in their flight has been captured well.
ReplyDeletewow, each picture was outstanding. I always wonder how others get to take wonderful pictures of birds in flight
ReplyDeletewow!!!!. That's for the first photo. What kind of camera do you use?
ReplyDeleteLove the Ibis in flight shot, fantastic.
