kids on parade

When I was in Sydney I came across a parade celebrating Greek Heritage and stopped and took some shots.

Uluru Self Portrait

Also known as Ayer's Rock, Uluru is nearly dead center in Australia. It looks like sandstone or some other soft stone, but it's hard as iron. BTW, I'm the one waving.

Just got back from a trip where I actually got to take some photos!

parrots amok

I hope Blogger fixes it so I can post pictures directly again, because I had to jump through some hoops today to get these up here.

These aren't awesome pictures, but as the little dog below the subject supercedes the composition. When we were in Australia I was amazed and delighted at the hundreds of cockatoos you could see coming out of the forest at night to feed. They are so plentiful there that some Aussies consider them a nuisance. They were really fun to watch.

kiama rocks and surf

Back in September we spent some time with my bosses in Australia and had a great time. One one day we visited Kiama and the famous blowhole. Unfortunately the tide wasn't high enough to get any shots of geysers of water coming through the rocks. This shot was taken nearby.
