 | 1186.SIGNAL HILL VIEWS OF LONG BEACH, CAOn 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.

 | 1187.Rottnest IslandNineteen 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.
