And eleven pics from the actual day of actual birthday under the cut...


A fresh emu print. Very clear and crisp, so I knew if I looked around...

Emu! I spent quite a bit of time idly wandering in a roundabout way that just happened to bring me this close without spooking them.



Dune crossroads

I love the way the wind has blown this bit of vegetation around to form the circular shape in the sand.

When I saw how sharp the edges of the track crossing the other one were, I decided to follow it. Had to scout through several clumps of grass and bush to refind the tracks before...


If I keep really still, the big weird thing won't know I'm here...


Me contemplating being 40... or trying to get a wanky pose right for the camera.
