Otter Lake

OtterLake

Seraphim decided to check out Otter Lake, this morning. She found a very North American/European-feeling environment of beautiful, rich blues and greens, with a gorgeous, soft, cloudy/hazy sky, creating a lovely, soft light…

… the landing point was a commercial harbour. Everywhere there were great props for clever photographs, lots of wonderful angles and rich, dark hues…

… but it was the wilderness area that Seri really liked. Lots and lots of beautiful, sparkling water-filled vistas, with pretty islands…

… lush plant/tree growth everywhere…

… with gorgeous explosions of floral colour dotted about, and many more wonderful photo props…

… and many beautiful light rays in which to pose…

… Seri didn’t manage to find a lake filled with otters, she got a bit lost, then some guy started stalking her, and getting in her shots, so she went home, satisfied she had enough stunning images for at least this post. Otter Lake is really gorgeous, well worth a look (:

Heart-rending Koala Rescue

KoalaHug

Seraphim read this, this morning. The video clip, at the top, of Toni rescuing a literally burning Koala, just made her cry and cry. The whole story about the losses the Koala population have suffered is equally heart-rending… but that one scene, of that wonderful woman putting the burning Koala out with water from a bottle, and him wailing in pain… it just kind of encapsulates the sadness of the whole situation.

They named the little guy ‘Lewis’, and he survived, thanks to that amazing, brave woman (:
