    Main Falls - Cedar Creek

    Today I ventured far up Cedar Creek, scrambling over rocks, through thorny plants and mud to reach a once very frequented waterhole and waterfall that has been closed to the public for about 10 years. This is the scene that greeted me when I got there.

    Rushing Waters

    We've had quite a bit of rain recently (9 inches over two days) - very unseasonable. Anyway, I trundled down to the creek a couple of days after the rain stopped and took a few shots, this being one of them.

    Lindsay-Anne on the stairs

    Shot at an abandoned mental health facility. Somewhat retouched shot that originall had Glen's head on the right, and a distracting railing on the left. One of many where the background lights didn't go off for me, so a classic b&w look was the go.

    Here's looking at you kid...

    Our resident Carpet Python was on the driveway when we got home today, so I grabbed the camera with macro lens and dived out of the truck to grab some shots. He was about 8 inches away at this point. Eventually he got curious enough to almost lick the…

    Guarding the entrance

    Spider Ant. Formicidae Leptomyrmex Formicinae. Not quite as sharp as I would have liked, but you still get the idea. This guy and a couple of his mates were carefully guarding the entrance to their nest so I didn't want to be seen as intruding too…
