PERFECT AFTERNOON


My idea of the perfect afternoon:
......go for a drive in the country.....making sure you take the camera......
because you may see something worth recording......such as this:

The Weddin Mountains make a nice backdrop to a canola crop.

Then, after driving a little further, you see a couple of God's wonderful creatures on the road:

Eastern Bearded Dragon, possibly female.

You stop the car and get out, thinking that this will scare them off but hoping it won't......
You're in luck! They just flatten themselves on the road, thinking they won't be seen.......
though the tip of the smaller one's tail (right) is a bit of a giveaway........

Eastern Bearded Dragons, possibly mother (left) and offspring.

You spend AT LEAST 10 minutes in their company, taking photos from various angles......
They even allow you to get close enough for a reasonable close-up............

Eastern Bearded Dragon, possibly female.

They are so quiet, you are tempted to pick one up.......but think better of it!
They don't move, even after you get back in the car and drive on.......right past them!
A memorable encounter!
And, just to finish off the day........

Canola farm near Greenethorpe.

Actually, this one was taken a couple of days ago.......just thought I'd chuck it in........
