Tidbinbilla trip

[calissa]

(View from a lookout. Ah, summer.)

As per our tradition, Sahaquiel and I visited the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve on New Year's Day. I didn't take very many photos this year because it was a very hot day (even though we went in the morning) and I didn't feel I had any fresh perspective to bring to it. However, the lizards were out in full force and I was able to snag a few pictures.



The fellow above was clearly loath to give up his spot. Every time I'd get too close, he'd move just enough to get me to back off before he returned to the sunshine. In contrast, the lizard below was a jumpy one that necessitated the use of zoom on my phone (hence the blurriness).







It's probably hard to tell, but the kangaroo is on an island in the photo. It was very hot and water levels in the wetland sanctuary were the lowest I've seen.

Deadlines are currently chewing up all my time, but I hope to get back out there soon.
