Laurie and I were in Albany, the only city within hundreds of miles of where we are staying that has major grocery stores, a K-Mart, Target and some restaurants. We are driving there about 3 times a month to do our shopping and that is also where the beaches are.

On this day, we were looking for a place to have lunch when we came upon a large crow pecking at a tree. When we got closer, we discovered that the crow was in fact attacking this large tree frog that was on the side of the tree.

We chased the crow away and got a few photos of the frog, but as we were leaving, the crow returned and had the frog for lunch (we didn’t watch the gruesome part).

The desert vistas on the way to Playa Balandra in Baja California Sur, Mexico captured my eye in the late afternoon light.
A skyscraper with no walls in La Paz, Mexico. I wonder if it will ever be finished? Looks really cool though.

The Edogawa Commemorative Garden is located on the grounds of the Gosford Regional Gallery. Extending over 4,000 square meters, the garden is based on a traditional shuyu (strolling style) garden, incorporating Japanese features. It is a lovely place, with meandering pathways, a roofed Japanese pavilion overlooking the Koi pond, raked dry stone garden and a traditional Japanese tea house.⠀

A large measure of the shore of Toowoon Bay beach in New South Wales Australia is festooned with huge flat-topped boulders, interspersed with sand and rock pools. It is an extraordinary place and I couldn't help taking dozens of photographs of all the interesting vistas.⠀

The Butcher Bird may not be much to look at, but it has a lovely, fluting song. The homeowners in New South Wales, Australia, where we are house and pet sitting, feed them small pieces of meat and they are happy to come down out of the trees and land on the deck railing to eat them. Sometimes if we are standing near the railing, they will alight a few feet away and stare at us, begging for food. Afterwards they fly into the tree and reward us with a song.
