This 1.5 m crocodile swam across the Lake at Half Moon Bay golf club in Cairns Australia, to have a closer look at me. The photo is taken from about two metres away. The crocodile was too small to be likely to attack me, but we did have an eyeball to eyeball standoff for a minute or two. Unnerving.

There is something exciting about going to the beach and when you arrive, seeing a path down to the beach and the sea. In this photo of a tropical beach near Cairns, Australia, I like the framing elements of the coconut palm fronds on both sides.

These two wild wallabies are actually testing each other’s strength, like an arm wrestle, but I like the photo because they look like they are dancing, perhaps a waltz. This species is known as the agile wallaby, and the photo is taken in North Queensland, Australia.

Rain makes rain forests, but rain forests also make rain. Billions of bacterial particles combine with transpired and evaporated moisture to form and seed clouds which then rain on the forests in a magical natural cycle. Photo taken in Mount Whitfield National Park, Cairns, Australia.

Cassowary birds are very large birds that look they would not be out of place with dinosaurs. They are potentially dangerous and have a powerful kick which can kill you. This bird at Kuranda Birdworld finally struck a nice pose for me.

This Yellow Honeyeater at Kuranda Birdworld allowed me to get really close to photograph it. There are numerous Honeyeater bird species in Australia, which eat nectar and insects, They are active and intelligent, and important flower pollinators. They can easily be attracted to gardens if you grow the right plants.

This blue and gold macaw took a while to get through the shell, and then dropped the nut onto the ground. I picked it up and gave it to back to the macaw, who treated the whole affair as if it was perfectly normally for humans to be running around doing errands for it.

Balancing rocks is a fun family activity, and is popular in some parts of the world. The pile in the foreground is just begging to have more stones added to it. I enjoyed playing around with depth of field taking photos of these piles of pebbles.This popular site is next to the sea between Cairns and Port Douglas in Australia.

I like the way the soft late afternoon light illuminates the face of this bird. Bush stone-curlews are nocturnal, and their big eyes help them to catch insects at night. These birds are also extremely well camouflaged when lying on stones, or dead leaves and twigs, but easy to see here on a lawn.
