The Gilbert’s dragon is known as the “ta ta” lizard and found in the hot Kimberley region, about 2000 km north of Perth. They run across hot surfaces, pausing to lift one leg off the ground and wave to cool it. before doing the same with the other. When not running and waving, they are still and bask in the sun.
The Welcome Swallows in Bunbury love the sun. In the mornings, they seem to prefer to do this than fly.
Then in Merredin, there’s the Magpie Lark, with the best vantage point in the gum tree to catch first light.
The young Pink Galah does not bask in anyone’s glory but its own as it gazes down at me at home.
There are honeymooners, basking in love, who race to kiss in dawn light, at Entrance Point, Broome.
While this backpacker threw caution to the wind at Wyalup Rocky Point in Bunbury as she watched the sun go down alone.
Much like her I enjoyed my solitude at Cable Beach, Broome.
Where I found, one heart warmed by sunshine, is better than an entwined pair scorched by rue.
Until next time
As always

Beautiful shots – I love the sun and crave it constantly (esp. now as it slips further away).

Thanks Eliza. Yes, my heart too starts to sink when the days get shorter. Although it does not happen that dramatically here as it does in the Northern Hemisphere.

Yes, and you (for the most part) don’t have to deal with snow. Our world is frozen for months – it gets really old after about the 4th month!

Every day brings those windy, cold days closer! Is it spring yet?? 😉

My experience is the opposite. I’m headed north next and facing heat in the low 40s centrigrade. Landscape is amazing, so all else will be mere discomfort!
