I'm really loving this lens. Again, this is from my back deck. It's really dry, we need rain badly. The roos are coming up looking for water and green grass.
A dozen fav's!! What a fantastic picture of a mama roo and her little one. I feel for them though, being short on water and green grass. What a wonderful view you have from your back deck.
What a great lens, 600mm is a whopper. Very sharp as well. I have been trying for a shot like this for a while. But our Roos here are timid and my 300mm isn't long enough to get a shot like this.
So, so cute! And what a sharp lens - you've scored with that one. You're too dry over there and we've had rain for the last few months. I think it was the coldest and wettest summer we've had in a long time. Now they are calling for a repeat of what we encountered last winter - very cold and lots of snow. I really need to move!
@shepherdmanswife how could that be Chantal, lol. You just didn't look in the right places ;) the thing is they are normally more active from dusk to dawn. and it is impossible and very lucky if you don't see some travelling in the country at this time. Maybe you need a return visit? If you didn't go to Kakadu then you should put that on your list :)
Fabulous capture!!! This is an amazing shot!!! Absolutely love this mother kangaroo and her baby!!! Instant fav!!! Can't believe you shot this from your backyard!!!
Beautiful shot. It does look very dry. You can have some of our rain, we have had storms and rain here for the last couple of days and it has gone really chilly, what happened to Spring.
@kass Oh gosh! Maybe you need to move to Oz, although I wouldn't recommend near us. We are in drought now, it's heating up something fierce but hopefully we will get a wet season.
@triciaodonnell@eyesmile@soboy5@annied Thanks so much, they are pretty amazing animals really but that little head sticking out is just so cute. When they are out and hopping around on their skinny little legs they are even more adorable.
@frankhymus Maybe you will have to treat yourself Frank :)
