Penguin Island | Penguin Island is home to Western Australia's largest colony of Little Penguins (the smallest penguins in the world). Approximately 600 pairs nest on the island, but spend most of their day feeding in the waters of the surrounding marine park. These birds are very shy and are rarely seen in the wild, but visitors can see Little Penguins at the Discovery and Rehabilitation Centre. The Island is a dedicated bird sanctuary with breeding and nesting sites for the Australian Pelicans and many other species, including migratory birds. A network of boardwalks enables visitors to explore the islands. |

SIGNAL HILL VIEWS OF LONG BEACH, CA (12/20/07)On a cloudy day, with 30% prediction of rain, visibility was good enough to capture a few views of the Long Beach and harbor area from atop Signal Hill.
I had hoped to shoot the Los Angeles skyline too, but to the north visibility was much more restrictive.
The enlargements come up original by default, 960 px wide. If smaller size is desired, click either "medium" or "large" at bottom of enlargement for view to fit your screen.

Rottnest Island | Nineteen kilometres offshore, west of Fremantle, Rottnest Island was so named by seventeenth-century Dutch mariners who mistook its unique, indigenous marspial Quokkas, for rats. The island, colloquially abbreviated to 'Rotto', is 11 km long and less than half as wide, with one settlement, the main resort, stretching along the sheltered Thomson Bay on the east side. West of the settlement, a low heathland of salt lakes meets a coastline of clear, scalloped bays, small beaches and offshore reefs. Rottnest Island is a popular holiday destination, easily accessible from Perth or Fremantle by ferry and makes for a fun day out. Motorized traffic on the island is virtually non-existent which makes walking and cycling from bay to sparkling bay the best way to appreciate 'Rotto'. |

6/3/07 - I was a bit slow putting the Hummingbird feeders out. I just put two feeders out and saw a Hummingbird within an hour. They must have been starving, just waiting for me to get the feeder out.
