While fly-fishing at Harvey Dam yesterday with some friends, we came across the 1.5m dugite snake shown in the photos below. Actually, it is probably more accurate to say it came across us.
While standing on the edge of the dam water with a rod in my hand, the snake's arrival was announced via some screaming by a female friend.

The snake was clearly terrified, and tried to blend into the background by not moving at all.
I immediately grabbed my camera, and started shooting the snake.

With some gentle encouragement with a fishing rod, the snake departed up the hillside, and disappeared in a hole in the ground.

With summer almost here, and the weather starting to warm up (37 degrees forecast for next week Wednesday!), I thought I'd dig out a photo from a much colder season.

This photo is from my trip to Canada in April this year, at the end of the northern winter. While exploring near Barrier Lake (in Kananaskis Country), I saw some snow on a bench, and decided to get closer with the camera.

Last month I shot the wedding of Marius and Alice. The rain held off during the day, with only a shower or two when we were driving between locations. It was a fun day, and we visited some of my favourite wedding photo locations, including UWA and the Crawley Edge boatshed.
Here's a few shots from the day.
