You've gotta have relativity in the photos you take of your art. Otherwise, it's just floating in space. -- Here's my thumb for relative size. BUT I should warn you that my thumb is not a good indicator of the average human thumb size. It is relative to no other human's thumb ever known to history. Orangutan, maybe, but certainly not human. -- #orang-uthumb #orangutandrawingbirds #birdart #athertonscrubwren #13endemics #endemic #wettropics #thewettropics #atherton #athertontablelands #bird #illustration #blacklines #naturalhistory #art (at Wet Tropics World Heritage Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brhu_rEHxLR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vm5cvorbci5e

The original hipster; a Topknot Pigeon. He was vegan long before it became fashionable and has perfected that hair over 20 million years. -- #topknotpigeon #lopholaimusantarcticus #malaannationalpark #fnq #athertontablelands #mistymountains #birdsofaustralia #australianbirds #australia #pigeon #evolution #australiana #earlymiocene #miocene #rainforest #wettropics #vegan #hipster (at Malaan-Nationalpark)

The male satin bowerbird builds a single-tiered bower to attracts his mate. He collects objects of vibrant blue, the female lands, inspects and decides if he's a worthy candidate. Today I caught him preening his bower and shortly after this photo a female decided to poke her head in and have a look. I was WAY too excited to take a photo so this, moments before a spectacular strut/dance/display by the male is all I got. Wow! -- #satinbowerbird #bowerbird #bower #bird #birds #endemic #australianbirds #birdsofaustralia #birdlovers #naturelovers #birdphotography #australia #wettropics #birdlife #athertontablelands (at Malaan-Nationalpark)

After being stuck inside for almost a month nursing a blood infection in my leg, today I managed to hobble into the forest down to the river that runs through the forest where I live. I had genuinely forgotten what beauty was until I saw this. I shall forever seek beauty and never settle for the mundane. -- #forestphilosophy #wettropics #malaannationalpark #taylorshillnaturerefuge #naturerefuge #nature #naturalworld #river #waterfall #rainforest #forest #tropics #fnq #queensland #tropicalqueensland #athertontablelands #tablelands (at Malaan National Park)
