Bush Stone-curlew

This lovely woodland bird stands 50-60 cms tall and lives in parts of Australia. It is the Bush Stone-curlew and much of its habitat is threatened. This is an adaptation of one of Ben's photos take in Queensland.The photo actually shows the birds standing on someone's veranda early in the morning, so they can't be too shy. Spunky, is how he described them.

Another lovely bird on this desktop. He/she is a blue heron that I spotted in a park, overlooking Auckland Harbour in New Zealand. It was enjoying the beautiful day, as we were too.

Crested Terns

This photo was taken by Ben on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia.I thought that it had the look of a painting about it, so I have used a watercolour filter to create that effect in a desktop.
Ben's bird photos are very lovely and I hope to use some more of them later on. Permission granted, of course.
On the left of my blog you can play one of his short video clips.
A zip of three sizes of the desktop can be found HERE.
Thanks for looking. I hope you enjoy using it.

Don't forget the lovely Easter cards in our gallery and on the card site. The link is on the left, directly below the butcher birds.

Byron Bay

I have been playing with textures and effects, inspired by a recent week's holiday in Byron Bay.
Byron is on the north coast of NSW and is a town of wonderful beaches and clear aqua water with resident dolphins and green turtles joining the many board riders who find this place a little piece of Paradise.
Byron is also renowned for its music scene, the vibrant local markets, the visiting backpackers and 'hippie' population. If you are nearby I can highly recommend a visit. Guaranteed to keep you young!
