Grabbed these two photos in the lobby of the hotel hotel which is located in a trendy area of Canberra re-branded as New Acton. To be honest I really liked the ambience of the place with artistic wooden accents and large planter boxes all over the exterior.

Im pretty happy with how both these photos turned out. The top photo is even a little bit Saul Leiter methinks! I will give myself a 7.9 imposter syndrome points out of 10.

I took the photo of the lady entering the lobby only to look up and see a security camera literally 0.5 meters above my head and pointed right at me. I thought I had better get out of Dodge… just as said lady (who was totally gorgeous) spotted me and gave me a spine-melting smile.

So. Worthwhile. And I will give myself an extra point soaking up that smile.

Photo taken of staircase in hotel lobby. Side view with wooden accents. A man is seen walkin down the stairs, but his image is blurred.

Atmospheric photo of hotel lobby. Silhouette of woman in a dress entering revolving doors. The main focus of the photo is a wooden planked sculpture filling the left side of the photo. This is lit with orange light.

Macro photograph of a small black and brown fly on a linear green leaf, surrounded by beads of water after a rainfall. The fly appears to be looking at the camera and holding one bead with one arm. A row of bigger beads are resting on the white central vein of the leaf. Background is vivid green.

Mongoose! There were many others out of shot, which I deeply feel should be described as mongeese, but I think are mongooses (we had quite a lengthy conversation about this at the time).

A photo of a mongoose standing behind a slightly blurred rock. It is a small mammal with short almost orange fur on its body, lighter on its round face and small round ears. It is facing me, but looking just off from the camera with dark orange eyes.

The very serious and contemplative white-headed vulture, looking a little like it's wearing a very fetching black feather boa.

Also, don't want to be picky, but it really should be called a pink and blue headed vulture.

A photo of the head and shoulders of a white-headed vulture (do vultures have shoulders? head and neck anyhow). It is taken from below, and the bird is looking to the right. It has a pale peachy coloured hooked beak, pale blue where it meets the head which is featherless pink skin at the bottom, then short white / tan feathers above its large eye. Around its neck are fluffy black feathers.

Although I'm sure I will get distracted with scribbling at points, I have a few photos from our trip to Chester Zoo that I just want to post to say LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY, so I am going to stick them together as I sort through

This is the first. A purple starling and, well, LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY!

It's been a slow, rough spring for #bakeapples on the north coast of #Labrador. We've been here since June 7, and it looks like peak bloom, if it ever arrives, will be next week.

Still, always enjoy my time here!
