this one of our eucalypts which something is digging in to. Hubby is going to put the wildlife camera over there tomorrow so we can see what if scrstchingbthe middle out.
the snow gums are pushing out some blossom for spring
lovely to see all everyone's photos, but couldn't respond earlier.
Hi Fidget. We used to grow Silver Princess in Canberra, but haven't bothered to try here. There are so many various eucalyptus growing naturally here that it hardly seems worth it. Very large buds though, not like our local ones.
lovely shots of the tropical Sea life. You must have had a wonderful time over there. (Memory is that it was the Carribean?)
Most of those sea slugs are eastern Indian ocean. Some at Ningaloo, some xmas or Cocos island. The indo Pacific region is wonderful for diversity in sea life. Tomorrow, do you want crabs or fishes?
I thought I would start with Christmas Island crabs.
Everyone knows about the red crab migration, but there are other land crabs,and also lots of crabs on the coral. Some we couldn't find in the identification books.
One of the coconut crabs. Lynnie the divemaster had one in her garden, she called him hubcap. His shell was the size of a car hubcap. He cleaned up after barbecues.
Knobs on the shell make this crab look like the coral around it.A mantis shrimp in his burrow. They have wonderful eyes.

Pat, it will be interesting to see the resulting film from the wildlife camera.
The reddish stems set off the white blossom on the snow gum
Yes I agree Joyce.

Fascinating Fidget. Such intensity of colour.
