Female Eastern Rosella

Image Details :- Eastern Rosella Taken Using my Canon 650D Lens:- 70 - 200mm f/4-32 Focal length 200mm 1/250, f4, ISO 100 About this picture Taken in my backyard August 2016 This was a Female Eastern Rosella on the ground with one young. Eastern Rosellas have been visiting frequently for the last week or so. We had 12 in the back yard at once one day, which is the largest group of Eastern Rosellas I have seen grazing together. I only usually see them in two's or threes. I was pleased to get some good shots of these two yesterday afternoon as I usually find them quite flighty and hard to capture.

It has a red head, neck and breast, with yellowish to greenish upper parts, a yellow underbody and a yellow-green to blue-green rum...

Cotter Dam

This week we headed out to Cotter dam on the afternoon I heard it had reached its new Capacity for the first time and was about to overflow. The Dam was quite tricky to photograph with any level of satisfaction but I did get some OK partial shots of the water falling with a total storage capacity of 76,200 million litres since the upgrade finished in 2013. That has me feeling quite secure in terms of water supply for now. We went to see the Dam but as per usual I was more enamoured with the wildlife and the canoodling Cockatoos were enchanting. I haven't been very active here but I have been working on something new that I will share soon, I'm also doing some behind the Scenes work on this baby to make it easier for me, it shouldn't affect what you see. x

Let me tell you about my Oven.

If you have been reading my blog for a long time you will undoubtedly remember my new oven from late 2009. I was in the thick of my learning to bake bread phase when it happened, we were weeks without an oven . So when we came here and I saw this ... I was disappointed. My old oven was the one thing I would really miss, mind you it was not without fault and with use I ended up thinking those telescopic slides were a pain in the butt. The grills were extremely hard to clean and it was a loathed job. I still loved my oven. In my mind updating the oven/stove in our new home was a first order of business. Baking is so much a part of my week. I have cooked on Gas cook tops for so very many years, adjusting to the old electric coils took some work but I think I have mastered it. I was dismayed the first time I tried to make cookies to find my cookie sheets would not fit inside the oven cavity, so I adjusted to using the one small ...
