Little green frogs

For years I thought green frogs were some kind of myth since I could never spot one.
Then one day somebody told me that if I looked carefully in the pond I would probably spot some.
And I did.

Not larger than 3 cm most of them are very shy and hide under leaves or hop away if approached.
It took some patience and steady hands with my favorite Kodak Cine lenses to finally capture them.

Rocky creek

There was an early summer heat wave and temperatures were exceeding comfortable levels for bushwalking.
We hiked-in at night to avoid the blazing sun and the effort was rewarded: the creek was flowing with clear water, inviting.

We spent the weekend swimming and relaxing in the shade of the trees.
The only access to the creek is by a couple of hours walk and that keeps it pristine: we had the place for ourselves.

Ball play

Never tired of chasing that ball.

Pure gold

Even the imperceptible power of water can shape pure granite, given enough time.
As it carved through thousands of years it changed its course and today it flows in a chamber much lower, leaving behind the leather-like smooth rock.
Sunlight bounces around making it appear as pure gold.
