Flamin’ Galah

FILED IN: Personal

Alf Stewart would have loved it. Yesterday as I gazed out my kitchen window I noticed a galah perched upon the fence in my carport. A real life flamin’ galah just sitting there practically begging for his photo to be taken!! Needless to say I was happy to oblige, I rushed to the spare room, attached the 70-200 big bertha and shot a few shots through the grubby window. If nothing else it proved that such a classic Australian bird was on my property, but the shots weren’t exactly blog worthy, it was time to move outside. As I got closer and closer Gary (that’s what I’ve named him) was totally un-phased, I moved all around him, left to right, behind, always getting closer, I eventually was no more than 1.5m away. Gary was just playing it cool.

It was a perfect house warming gift generously bestowed upon me by Australia’s native fauna, although it must be said the ice cream scoop I received that night ran a very close second.

Here’s a couple of shots around the house, plus a bunch of Gary.

Don’t forget Adelaide, I live here now and am taking booking for weddings and portraits so if you know someone who’s after some beautiful, fun and elegant photos then point them in my direction!
