The Lorikeets are plentiful in the yard:

Hey! Careful you, or I'll invoke the Platypus. And the Birds around here are pretty cool.

Gawd no! - I live 1000 miles away from snow by choice! :-) But the Fatty is excellent value on the beach.

Sure do. But I live about 1000 miles away from the nearest place it snows. https://youtu.be/fYsbm2HrYy4

We also get these beautiful Pygmy Tree Frogs after rain. They make quite a racket surpassing their size. This fellow is about an inch long.

We get a few green tree frogs around the place too - I think they are superb.

My girl likes the Dragons and other native lizards - a lot - she doesn't like the Geckos we mostly get in the house as they are an invasive species. There are some natives which she is cool with - but most are Indonesian or South American - and …

Oh, he does lots of jobs around the house: https://www.facebook.com/dooglethedog/videos/1147583835252133/ https://youtu.be/d31r3TAnMOM

It's much more a Brit word than Aus, but it's still the most apt description in this case. The flurry of legs and the wiggle of the body is quite comical.

Cheers - He's mah boy. https://youtu.be/8viKOtfOy7A

And the rats. Although the lifetime score is currently Rats: 0. - Doogle: 8.

Eastern Water Dragons are timid and run away if approached too closely. May chuck a hissy fit if cornered, but generally they scarper. Plenty of other local lizards are way cool. Blue Tongues are common around here, there are some beautiful skinks …

Whereas this Water Dragon was basking under a test motorcycle I was picking up and it scared the **** out of me when I moved it - and it bolted.

This fine fellow lives somewhere around the bike path I take most days. He's about 1 metre long (large for a Water Dragon) and although quite timid, he loves grapes.

... and take a photo. Test riding a bike on Mt Tambourine, Qld. Diamond Python around 2.5 mtrs long. Beautiful creature.

120! That's only 3rd gear :-P I also got to fully tap out a Buell 1125r on a runway and a V-max on a 'closed road'. 280kph ... maybe - I didn't really have time to look.

> if some wild child like @DangerDave hops on "One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything, except a good reputation." - Oscar Wilde. Me likem Firebolts and Lightnings ... doh!

:-) - I got one. The Dwarf Magnolia tree in my front yard sets a nice table of 'fruit' in its flowers for the passing insects. But there's no such thing as a free lunch hey.

I'm going to pull the trigger on a D850 as an upgrade for my D800 shortly. I agree it's good that there are other players - but the pixel count isn't enough to tempt me to change brands - not because I have any brand loyalty (all my movie kit is …

Yeah - the trick is to clear cut the subject, paste it into a new layer, fill the hole in the first layer with the clone brush using the areas surrounding the hole, then add the motion blur filter. There is also a good trick to add dof using …

Post production apps. I use Adobe photoshop express and bump the vibrance and/or saturation.

It would be really cool if it lit up like the Tron bike.

Enquiring minds are answered commendably.

So why can't we embed Flickr slide shows in Cake? Enquiring minds want to know! The embed options are working well for me in my Blogger site: http://blog.daves.place/ Feedback-wise, I was pissed off with the way Flickr billed without notice …
