looking great in springtime colours a kangaroo at Blowering Dam New South Wales Australia

With a backdrop of Australian native wattle flowering in the background this kangaroo freezes trying to blend in, so as to go unnoticed.

I am both beautiful & expensive

What a treat to see a Vicuna, whilst travelling Peru! These beautiful animals are famous for their exquisitely soft & hence expensive wool. They are found in Peru Northern Chille Bolivia & Northwestern Argentina. These delicate looking camelids are a shy & rare  creature found in the wild & their wool is much sought after.Vicuna

They can only be shorn 3 times a year & command very high prices for their wool.  A scarf can cost around $1500 USD. There are several reasons why this wool is both so expensive & sought after. They only produce around .05kg of wool per annum. The wool itself is extremely fine & soft & they produce some of the finest wool fibres to be found in the animal world. Due to it’s properties of tiny scales on hollow air filled fibres which causes them to interlock trapping warm air, the wool is extremely warm.

Tail slapping

It’s that time of year where the whales make there northerly migration up the coasts of Australia to warmer waters to calve. This shot was taken north of Tweed Heads in Queensland. The males slap their tails which makes for a huge splash & the sound can be heard from a great distance away. It is thought to mark it’s location to other whales.
