Spiders are one of my favorite subjects to photograph, they come in a wide variety of shapes, colors and sizes. My photography often features Spiders as they are misunderstood and feared, I want to help people understand spiders better so they do not have to fear them. In this gallery you will find some that are cute, some that are scary and others that will leave you amazed. I hope you enjoy the gallery don't be scared they won't jump out of the screen.

Australian flora is a reflection of the often harsh environments they are found in. However harsh the environment can be there is still beauty to be found, even in the places you would least expect it. Australia is a place of diversity and extremes, there is the tropical north, the frigid alpines and the dry hot center to name a few. The local flora is equally diverse and has adapted to living is such extreme conditions. This gallery contains photographs of flowers, fungus, trees, leaves and so on.... I hope you like them.

"I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror - The wide brown land for me!" excerpt from My Country by Dorothea Mackellar. In this gallery you will find photos I have taken while traveling around this beautiful country, it is a collection of landscapes, seascapes and sunsets. I have traveled many thousand kilometers on my journeys around Australia and seen many amazing and beautiful things, but I have barely scratched the surface of what this country has to offer.

The easiest way to tell the difference between Bugs and Beetles is to look at the mouth. Bugs have a needle-like mouth part that is used to suck up a liquid diet, Beetles mouths are designed to chew food. Bugs and Beetles come in some of the brightest most beautiful colors exhibited by nature, some are even iridescent. The range of colors is only superseded by the diversity of shapes and sizes found in these two amazing families of creatures. Here is a collection of Bugs I have photographed over the last season, I hope you enjoy them . ENTER GALLERY
Flying insects are some of the most fascinating small creatures on the planet, when you take a closer look you realize, they look more like high tech flying machines than bugs.
No macro shoot is more difficult than flying insects, they are incredibly fast and easily disturbed. In this gallery you will find Flies, Bees, Wasps, Mosquitoes, Cicadas, Damselflies and Midges, may you find the images as fascinating as I do. ENTER GALLERY

Butterflies and Moths are easily identified by their resting stance and by the time of day. Butterflies are active during the day and rest with their wings closed, where as Moths are active during the night and rest with their wings open. Moths are usually dull in color, some however are incredibly beautifully colored. I hope you enjoy the diversity and beauty of these flying creatures. ENTER GALLERY
