For Mothers' Day here, I'd like to share this portrait of my lovely wife, Pauline. Many of you have sent kind wishes concerning her health issues. Since earlier this year she has had some serious medical complications which have prevented further treatment, but those now seem resolved. I'm very glad to advise that, following a teleconference with her oncologist a few days ago, her treatment is likely to resume next week.

All my very best wishes for an enjoyable festive season to all my ipernity friends. In Australia, Christmas is when the fresh fruit is at its best. I hope you'll also enjoy this great Christmas track which (to my surprise) is 60 years old this year. Best viewed on black.

Shades of red! HFF.

They don't come much more common than these, but I was delighted to find this House Sparrow in the Callistemon bush outside our motel room in Junee. Besides, it gave an excuse to play with the long lens. :)

For some reason it was a little fluffed up, though it wasn't a cold day. RMC Tokina 400/5.6

New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae)

Taken with Pentax SMC M macro 100mm f4.0 on K10D camera - and with an obliging bee. :)

Great excitement at the first flower on our (fairly new) frangipanni tree.

When my "new" (well almost 40 y.o.) Pentax SMC 50mm f1.4 lens has arrived, I tested it at close range and wide open on these daisy flowers. Nice narrow D.O.F. and creamy bokeh: I'm smiling.
