I know you do everything you can to keep from making the koalas become too accustomed to, or comfortable around, humans so I think these moments must be quite rare and all the more sweet for that.
@gardencat indeed. firstly, usually they are quite high up so I'm not really near them. Then with this one, I was sitting on the bike which was turned off, and had been taking the photos of Bullet that I posted yesterday. He was around 25 metres at least from the ground. I turned to start the bike and ride away, and there, just 5 or 6 metres in front of me, in a young tree was Matilda. really was magic 😊
It's like she's saying, "Hello Camera Lady. I think I'm interested in what you're doing today, so go ahead, take a close-up in truly close-up form!" Beautiful portrait!
Matilda is a beauty.
