And more holiday snaps
Jul. 5th, 2011 07:24 pmAgain, thanks to Harliquinn for these:
Spinifex Pigeon at King's Canyon. These reminded me of winged hamsters; as soon as we got into their territory they came out to see whether we had any food to spare.
Holly bush in King's Canyon.
Rock face, King's Canyon.
More King's Canyon.
Kangaroo ennui.
Camel love! Rey rode a camel.
Old lighthouse at Lady Elliot.
Beach and sky at LEI. And another one.
Sun and clouds.
Zebra cone shell.
Broken-off end of cone shell.
And another one, from the inside.
"I Love LEI" done in red coral, blue starfish, and human bones. Or maybe coral. Tumbled staghorn coral tends to look a LOT like bones.
Fred, a buff-banded rail who hung around the dining area trying to steal food.
White-capped noddy. Some of these guys had missed their migration; they were standing around looking cold and trying to find patches of sun.
Giant clam. Every clam has a different colour and pattern to its mantle, but all of them are gorgeous. The biggest one I saw was about 2 feet across.
Velvet sea star and a different type of sea star.
LEI from the plane as we were leaving.
