Blue-tongue lizard
This is an Eastern Blue-tongue lizard. These are the largest members of the skink family and are found across eastern and northern Australia. This one was near my house. They can grow to about 600mm and are harmless, though capable of giving a substantial bite. Most usefully, they eat slugs and snails.

Dried fruit
For Macro Mondays group 27/11/2023, topic #337. "Dried fruit" For this image, I photo-stacked three images using ON1 software, maybe should have used more. :-) Happy Macro Monday everyone.
Later note of clarification : these are not prunes but mixed fruit, mainly raisins (grapes).
Over the water
In this case, the photo was taken over the water from Australia, in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Wishing everyone a Happy Bench Monday and a good week to follow.

Tablets

If getting this image had given me a headache, at least a cure was nearby. :-)
Waiting at the airport
In the passenger terminal at Canberra Airport (see also PiP). I can only presume that these statues must have been fully dressed when they arrived, but that they disrobed after an airconditioning failure while they have waited for their flight!
Wishing everyone a Happy Bench Monday and a good week to follow.
