NEW BLOG ABOUT MELBOURNE

Hi everyone! You might wonder why I haven't been posting many photos lately. Life has been busy, and I have visited Melbourne, Victoria some weeks ago. Since I have taken loads of pictures over there, I have decided to start up a MELBOURNE BLOG.

You can visit the site by clicking on the following link.

I will still keep the main blog on Western Australia and will hopefully get around to get "out and about" for some new photos!

Cheers!

Salt Lake, Lake King WA

As summer is approaching fast now, water supplies fall even shorter and a lot of lakes dry up and turn into "salt lakes". Kilometers of salt crusts cover what was once a beautiful lake.

Green Looper Caterpillar

I discovered this little bugger munching happily on our Geraniums, perfectly camouflaged by its green colour. The way this caterpillar "loops along" impressed me, so I decided to place it on a slightly more contrasty background in order to photograph it. This caterpillar most likely belongs to the family Noctuidae and grows up to 40mm long in size.

Nectarine Orchard Farm

This is the last image to my spring orchard series. It shows a well maintained nectarine orchard located in the "Perth hills".

Spring is already on its way and summer is now not far away anymore. Last week I went to some orchards farms in the Perth hills area where the nectarine and plum orchards are now in flower. The smell and the colours are magnificent!
