I lurked by the abelia bush for ages, Nikon D3000 in hand, watching the progress of this hidden honeyeater through the foliage. I think he knew I was there, but he wasn’t timid as long as I kept my distance. And then, out popped his head and I clicked, hoping the focus was right. It was. I love it when I manage a shine on the eye, this one was a fluke.
Thanks for looking.
I hope you are all enjoying a holiday break of some sort. Mine’s over, for tomorrow I begin working full-time on the second in my fantasy series – Cladessa – still in the revision / rewriting stage. Up to now, I’ve really only dabbled. Fortunately, I’ve reached the stage where, when I wake, my first thought is the story. Thanks to those of you who have emailed and told me how much you enjoyed Taniel. Your kind words make my day!
Thanks for reading.

It’s a wonderful photograph, Christine, and I’m thrilled that you wake up each morning thinking about the new book you have begun. That’s a positive sign for good writing.

I love it when it takes over so all I can think about is getting it written. Too much life getting in the way, and visiting birds that I must take photos of!

Wow! great shot. First time I’ve seen one even in a photo. I thought honeyeater was what it was doing until I realized that was its name.
