As I said last week we went to Balingup for a quick getaway. We stayed on a farm outside of town in a converted cowshed. It was an excellent spot. It was nice and quiet, but best of all the surrounding garden and fields were teeming with wildlife so I didn’t feel the need to go anywhere as it was all happening just outside the door. While all the photos in last week’s post we’re taken with my iPhone all the nature stuff was taken with an Olympus EM1x and my Panasonic Leica 100-400mm lens.
