Mangoes

The mangoes are looking plump and ripe for the picking in the back yard.

Frangipani

Some new growth on the frangipani tree in the front yard.

Beautiful Tree

One of my favourite tree shots so far.  Outback skies and eucalypts make good photos.

Flying Kangaroo

I was out walking in the middle of nowhere and this flying kangaroo came past.  It definitely is the transport mode of choice in this big country.

Beautiful Day

It was such a beautiful big blue sky day in Mount Isa this morning that I had to go to the lookout for a photo.  Here it is.

Freshly Washed

A freshly washed landscape on a warm and humid, stormy afternoon.

Drenching

A summer storm sweeps by and dumps some rain on the dry hills.

Astronomy Evening

Preparing for an astronomy evening at the lake.

Geometry In The Trees

Scene from the Mount Isa City Council Civic Centre (try saying that 5 times).

Rigby Trickle

After recent rains I headed to Rigby Falls to see if it was running.  Unfortunately little rain had fallen in the catchment area.

Scorched

A tree singed by fire.  And rocks cleared of spinifex.

Storm Clouds

Some storm clouds gather on the horizon.  Rumbling thunder could be heard and a few lightning bolts seen, but I was not lucky enough to catch any on film.

Termite Hill

A quiet hill in the outback.

Outback Lightning Strike

An electric bolt of energy hits the ground in the distance.  The light is red because of the high dust content of the air due to recent grass fires.  An amazing atmospheric display.  See a short video of the action below.
