More jelly fish

The Swan River contains brown and white jelly fish, this is the white version. I wish I could make photos of them pumping through the water, that's so beautiful. They are often in big numbers and seen around the yaghts at the clubs dotted all over the Swan River.

Jelly

Yesterday morning I was walking along the shore of Swan River with a friend and found these beautiful jelly creatures on the beach. Look at the bubbles...

Roses

I have a rosebush in a pot in the back of the garden with different colors of fragrant roses on the one bush, pink and yellow!

Magpie Lark

This Magpie Lark was covered in boils on his head and legs and visited our garden frequently the last couple of weeks. He was not frightened at all and let me photograph his shiny feathers up close. Unfortunately his boils made him suffer and Saturday morning we found him dead on the driveway.

Praying Mantis

This tiny little green guy was hiding on a grapevine leave and rapidly dissapeared under the autumn leaves when I came closer.

Love

During my paddle at the Swan River early in the morning I saw this big freshwater mussel at the beach of Green Place.

Eucalyptus Seeds

The beauty of eucalyptus seeds!

Beach ball

It's already a while back that we've been camping in Biddingup and did some four wheel driving on the beach and came across these balls. The whole beach was full of them, rolled up weeds... some where the size of tennis balls others where a bit more oval shaped, but there were plenty of them.

Mulberrie leaf

We had a bad mulberrie year this year. While the berries just were starting to ripen the leaves got a nasty fungal desease which the berries catched right away and left us with hardly any of these delicious fruits...
