A cat possessed by the devil heads the creature gallery.
“Continue reading” for another 30 creatures. No more cats – promise.

Our Siamese cat called (blush) “Bubbles”. A change from the “Ohh, he’s so cute…” kittens of social media. The “red” reflex in our cat is whitish in this flash shot.

Our semi-rural property sits in the Australian bush and many creatures come to have their picture taken.

Well, this is Australia. This kangaroo with a joey in the pouch hopped the fence to get the grass very close to where my earth wire connects for my Tesla coiling. (it wasn’t set up at the time).

A close up of a small gecko. He ran away when startled by the camera shutter noise.

Above, ants come out at night to eat a small lizard.

And last the obligatory domestic dog, a Labradoodle (Labrador/Toy poodle cross!) called Milo.
I now have (2006) a new Sigma 180mm lens that has 1:1 macro ability giving both much better closeup and telephoto shots.

Saw this Rosenberg’s monitor walking along the road (not actually visiting). He is about 3 feet long and eats snakes and skinks. No time to set up the tripod. Rumour has it that this fellow can mistake you for a tree and climb up you if startled.
