LAZY HAZEY DAYS OF SUMMER.

Have not had much time for Blogging over the last week as I have been busy doing family things and pottering around in the garden. I did manage a few hours on Wednesday morning down at Bottallack with Ashley. Though the weather was not brilliant we did manage to see five Choughs
but only got a few average shots,which was a pity as the reason for going was to try and get some good ones.

For the rest its just been a few shots from around the garden. I did have some good views of a Humming Bird Hawk Moth flying around the garden yesterday, but it was to quick for any Photo's. That's four (or should I say five) that I have seen this year. Well I have to get my skates on shortly as I have to go and pick up two of my Grandchildren for the day as we have them on Mondays and Fridays on the school holidays. So below are a few of the weeks images.
