Lancelin Pt. 1

Saturday we took a trip a little ways north up the coast along Indian Ocean Drive.  It was a beautiful drive through the bush, and we saw Kangaroos and even Emus (a rare sight in the wild) [unfortunately we did not get any pictures of the Emus].  We ended up in Lancelin, a small town with some lovely beaches, and a distinct smell of sulphur in certain areas.  I will be posting most of the photos in days to come, but thought I would post one now, just start things off.

Macro

This a picture I took recently at the Kings Park Botanical Garden using a telephoto macro lens. I took the photo from about 2 metres away and did not see the ant crawling up the stamen of the flower, or the spiderweb until after I loaded the picture on my computer. Just thought I would share.
