Rob > A momma hen with one of her chicks under wing.

The vine in the shot is the tether the hen was tied up with.  I really really really tried to get a shot without it, but the great light in this photo didn't manifest itself with any other angle of shooting.

Rob > A wild Rainbow Lorikeet.

I spent the better part of a day stalking these birds, trying to figure their habits enough to get a shot of one.  I found the key was to plant myself near the papaya trees - these guys loved them and made regular visits to eat from the still-hanging ripe fruit.
