You should see the colours as it moves around. From Aqua to Bronze. It's like an opal. Abalone shell, even.

That's the fun part,... the serendipitous moments.



Mudlark is one name, Magpie Lark is another.. Anything is better than Peewee.

I waited half an hour in front of the otter enclosure at the Adelaide Zoo, waiting for the pups to appear.



When they did and I got just a few shots of very little quality, it was like a lottery win!!!



For a few minutes I LOVED my camera more than anything in the world.
