March was a month of ups and downs for me. My husband and I fled the dull weather in Sweden and spent a week in Florence, seeing the sights and enjoying the sun. Add some health problems, and March was gone in a blink of an eye.
Despite the whirlwind of travels and hospital visits, I made it a point to continue editing photos from my Kangaroo Island trip in November and December. First out are these fighting fur seal males at Admiral’s Arch in Flinders Chase National Park.
We spent two hours watching the fur seals all alone (a benefit of waking up early, no other tourists to be seen at 7am) and we enjoyed every moment. We were fortunate because the seals were quite active; the pups were playing, while the males were fighting. Most of the time, however, they sleep, which doesn’t make interesting photos.
A tender moment between mama kangaroo and her daughter, one of my favorite types of photos. I love watching and the capturing these moments of tenderness between parents and their young.
One of my favorite activities is observing animals in their natural habitats. Initially, they are cautious, as this is their instinct. However, as they become familiar with my presence and recognize that I pose no threat, they relax and go about their business. I love these moments; sitting still for hours, watching them regardless of the weather is no hardship.
A siskin from a few years ago. I still have so many photos I never edited, especially backyard birds. Some people turn their noses at them, looking for exotic animals and birds to photograph, but I love them all.
Having a wildlife garden is such a joy! Something happens every day: a woodpecker stealing hazelnuts from the squirrels’ stash, crows or badgers doing the same to the walnuts; jays and blackbirds bathing in one of the numerous bird baths; squirrels chasing each other up and the down the old oak; tree sparrows chattering in the bushes; or roe deer raiding the flower beds.
And a squirrel because I love squirrels ❤️
