Fiery sky this morning on the way to work.
A view down a road that is going down hill. Above is an overcast sky but in the horizon the clouds are very pink, with pink tendrils upwards.

@peachfront@toot.community after all, it did have its morning disturbed by a phone many times its size being shoved at it.

Yes, more tiny frogs today. This one was too close for the big camera, so iPhone it was.

I did not take my macro kit in to the office today, so of course there’s an extra tiny frog right by the fence this morning.

Found another Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog this afternoon. Same general area as the others.

So tiny, so cute.

Female Swamp Wallaby and joey standing to the right of frame looking towards the rock i place offerings on. She’s already eaten all the carrots so there is nothing there.

Bigger than a pademelon. This is our regular Swamp Wallaby. She's been visiting for over a year now and has had a few joeys in that time.

Looking lovely down at the creek this morning. Water was quite cold though.
Looking down stream over a fast flowing creek over granite. Trees line the banks. The water is clear with a slight green tinge.Looking upstream over a fast flowing creek. A low bridge crosses the creek with the rectangular culverts underneath. Blue skies above.

#fotoFail time. This is what happens when you have a slow lens, not enough iso and try to shoot a moving bird in a dark forest.
a brown and cream streak that might have once been a bird but it now just a blur.

Cicadas have the best names. This one is a Bark Squeaker (Atrapsalta corticina).

It flew in front of me and landed on the ground where I managed an iPhone shot of it (thus the not great detail)
