It's a shame we can only see the avatars so small, once  we should all post them in large. Then we could see them better.

Here is mine: DSC00060 (2) I would love to see your avatar as a photo.

Hi M-L, this was a different bird taken down the other end of the plant on the same day.

What a beautiful shot of a gorgeous bird, Shane. Did you take that yourself because I was wondering what time of year it was taken?

Thanks qyn55. This was a defining moment for me as I had acquired a 150mm Macro lens and was into photography of insects and flowers mainly, and had gone for a walk one day at Minnippi Parklands in Brisbane to photograph macro subjects. Then I saw these little birds flitting around in the late afternoon light which blew me away when I saw them through the lens, so with all the aplomb of an elephant in a china shop I tried to sneak up on them and thanks to their curiosity allowed me to get a series of photos of males and females which as a result, simply got me into bird photography. This is why I chose this avatar because of its significance of a day I will never forget. I took this photo in the beginning of November 2011 at 5.09pm. I have used this photo for birthday cards and to cheer people up and it seems to work. Any way here is another from that day.

Regards

Taken in the Botanic Gardens in Sydney. I chose this pic as an avatar, taken by a close friend 

as I love cheeky cockatoos. They never showed any aggression but liked landing on people!

Of course this freaked out some people but the tourists mostly loved it.
