Some time ago when travelling in the Australian inland,
in the middle of no-where
it was a good year for Emu
families of eight or nine kept popping up on either side
unfortunately, when going at 110km,
the conditions for bird photography are less than ideal

Oh, how fun to see them running free!! Great shots for the day!! Hope your week is going well, Arija!!!
ReplyDeleteYou still got good photos.
ReplyDeleteYou still managed some great shots!! It's nice to see you back in my blog roll. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back.
ReplyDeleteThis is the very best kind of drive-by shooting.
Great photos considering the circumstances, you were brave and optimistic even to try. I suppose that if you're going to attempt bird photography from a moving car then large, flightless ones are the ones to go for. I'd love to see these in the wild.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's about 70 mph in ole US of A - can surely imagine the photo challenge of bird photography at that kind of hoof speed! Still, you'd be dang hard pressed to find an emu at ANY mph over here ;>))
ReplyDeleteAlways a joy to see the natural happenings down yer way, Arija.

Wondrful to see wild Emu
ReplyDeleteWhat a privilege to see so many emus in the wild.
ReplyDeleteA great record and memory never-the-less! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHello, what a great wild bird. The Emu sighting is cool. Great shots. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteArija, This is the first time I've seen an emu outside of a zoo. You need to brake for emus!
ReplyDeleteCan Only dream of seeing these in real life (where they actually belong)...I have seen them in wildlife parks here. It has been good to see your comments on FB sometime ...on Stewarts posts usually I think... I
ReplyDeleteAwesome emu! Love that our Australian friends can post such different varieties of birds than we have in N America! Thanks for this treat!
ReplyDeleteDear Arja; I see you are still going strongly; good on you to keep the fire burning. Best wishes T.
ReplyDeleteThanks for caring dear friend. I have been blowing on the embers but still managing to keep body and soul together.
DeleteWould have never thought you were photographing from a moving vehicle. You managed to captured those emus quite well, Arija!
ReplyDeleteThere are two emus here in Vienna's zoo. They have a large wooded area all by themselves. I see them regularly when I walk up to Schönbrunn's Gloriette. Although their accommodations are quite luxurious, I'm sure they'd rather run wild with their flock.
Hello, dear Arija! So good to see you. I have never seen free roaming emu before. I would have had to stop my car and sing to them. :) Hope you are having a beautiful weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteGreat shot for a drive by. And nice to be out for a ride.
