Around Illawong

This page has photos from several days of "masterful inactivity" on my part.

Flora

I've little skill identifying plant and trees, so I'll just admit I have no idea what this tree is, but the flowers are pretty!

Fauna

There are many cockatoos in the area, some of them probably displaced by the bush fires of a year or two ago. They are both beautiful and incredibly noisy, especially when they flock together in the morning (very early morning!) and at dusk. Photographing them with a digital camera is a bit of a challenge, since they don't like to stay still for long!
