Great photography, Wombat. Top shelf. "Spindly" is the word I'd use to describe wild outback flowers but they're beautiful as well as fascinating.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I have discovered that these shots were taken with my Nikon D80,

I am currently using a Nikon D800 36 mp great camera, taking two pics at once .jpg & .nef (raw) jpg = 18mb    nef = 75mb

Well she takes a very nice shot Bryan. aww

I got laughed at when at the GTG at Seabird for having my little finger in the air when taking pics' (the hand holding the camera, not the button pushing one).   I had to explain I wasn't being posh, but with my photo skills I usually manage to get my fingers in front to the lens somehow (small camera) hmm no
