lazy sunday

Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 19 August 2008 in Animal & Insect.

This photo was also taken on Kangaroo Island also at Parndarna sanctuary. He just couldn't be bothered getting up and I love the contrast with the yellow flowers

I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

Love the soft, dreamlike effect here, it's very soothing and calm... Like a pillow of flowers.
