FOX ON THE RUN
I visited the Braeside Wetlands this morning to photographed birds in the wild. I was joined by fellow photographer Kathie Thomas.
Braeside Park Wetlands Circuit trail provides visitors with a number of wetlands viewing opportunities and to observe the many varied bird species that reside in the park. The trail travels through open Red Gum and Manna Gum bushland area to the north east of the wetlands, with more grassy vegetation along the south western edge.

Sadly, there were few birds about this morning, however I was absolutely delighted to see a beautiful fox nearby. Here are two photos (among others) I had snapped of this wild creature:
There have been very few opportunities that I was able to photograph foxes in the wild. Here are two photos I had snapped in 2018:

BIRDS AT BRAESIDE WETLANDS
Despite the seemingly lack of a huge amount of bird life around, we walked around the Wetlands circuit, approx 5 kms or so (I was informed that equates to over 10,000 steps today!), I did manage to snapped many photos of the bird life that was seen. Here are a couple photos of mine:

MY PHOTOS PUBLISHED IN INDIA
A few years ago I travelled around India, particularly in Kolkata (Calcutta), and one of the many subjects that I challenged myself with was photographing popular singer, Christopher Lobo, at the many venues that he was performing at. I gave Christopher a whole lot of photos of mine for him to use in his publicity and media activities. I am delighted that he is using many of these photos to this day. Here is an example of such use:
Here is the original Photo of mine:
Keep on rockin, Christopher!!
