The Most DH pulled the Rover to the side of the road, abruptly. Clutching my chest I gasped "Whats wrong?". "Emu." He said.
Peering through the camera's viewfinder with the lens out to 300mm, "Uh, no, I dont see anybody out there. You feeling alright? Maybe I should drive for awhile...Oh! Wait a minute, Yeah! Geeze, how'd you see him?"
I got this close before calling off the stalk.

If you decide to jump on the back of one of these wild animals (like Steve Irwin) will the Most DH photograph it for us?
You rock - you really ARE hunting (so-to-speak) wild animals!
Sorry I'm a little slow in returning your G'day Lavender from what I'm seeing I'll be looking in again*!*

Bimbimbie No worries Bimbimbie, things get hectic sometimes. Hope to see you again soon :)
