The fish in the background look spooked to me, with two swimming away, as an ominous-looking juvenile hammerhead shark glides past. Photo taken at the Cairns aquarium.
A pelican flies in to join its friends at the Cairns esplanade, Australia.
Close up of a lionfish. These fish are beautiful but have poisonous spines, and have been introduced to the Caribbean, where they are now a pest. Photo taken at the Cairns Aquarium, Australia.
This little Black-fronted Dotterel was enjoying a bath on the Cairns esplanade.
Buddha tree. The trunk of a bodhi tree or peepal tree in Cairns Australia. This is the type of tree under which the Buddha sat (for 49 days!) till he received enlightenment. I am not a Buddhist, but I thought that Buddhists may like a photo of a bodhi tree. The botanical name is appropriate: Ficus religiosa. For those who appreciate the wonders of nature, you may enjoy visiting the page “Divine designs God’s creation” on my site Tracts4Free.wordpress.com which has photos of all sorts of wonderful things in nature.
Butterfly fishes come in an amazing array of colours and are common on coral reefs. This photo was taken at the Cairns Aquarium.
A pair of sunbirds live right outside my front door. I planted these flowers, and a few others, because I know they like to sip nectar from these flowers, and it has worked like a charm. For those who live in the Americas who are familiar with hummingbirds, sunbirds are the equivalent birds in Australia, through Asia and Africa. They are typically not quite as small as hummingbirds, but are usually very colourful, and can hover to sip nectar out of flowers. This is a male Olive-backed or Yellow-bellied sunbird.
Even baby crocodiles know what to do. Being half submerged like this is typical of crocodiles and alligators. Photo taken at the Cairns Aquarium.
