http://macpurdys.blogspot.com/2011/08/gramma-sadie.html
Saturday, August 13, 2011. The kids and I left for Montreal last Saturday and did the 14hour drive to Antigonish.Darryl's home town. We stayed the night with his parents and then headed to Mabou.my hometown.on Sunday morning. I was in a hurry to get home as my Gramma Sadie (turning 96 in September! Thank you for sharing your many talents with us. Many of us have mastered the "Scrabble" board and improved our playing skills simply from listening to you say, "Are you going to challenge me? Thank you for al...

The Gecko Hunter: August 2009
http://gecko-hunter.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Not quite ready for crocodiles . First snake in a LONG time. Mom and Dad's blog. Saturday, August 22, 2009. First snake in a LONG time. I spotted this little fellow while we were having breakfast. It's a young green tree snake. Like the one Clo saw last year on April fool's. It didn't stay very long, just passing through the garden. Green tree snakes are not. Venomous and don't even have fangs. It's been over a year since we saw a snake in the wild so I was pretty stoked about this little guy.

The Gecko Hunter: November 2008
http://gecko-hunter.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Not quite ready for crocodiles . Mom and Dad's blog. Saturday, November 22, 2008. With all the storms and rain we've been getting, the wildlife has changed around here: . Most of the trees behind our house are gone, so there are less birds. Also, the flood way next to the house has been full of water for a week now, so we're starting to see ducks down there! Yesterday I spotted this little guy clinging to the patio door. Right out of a Telus ad! Saturday, November 22, 2008. Saturday, November 1, 2008.

Not quite ready for crocodiles . Mom and Dad's blog. Sunday, September 28, 2008. Sunday, September 28, 2008. Sunday, September 14, 2008. Just a few shots of some cool bugs I found while out on a macro photography run around the house. I'll spare you the spiders this time, instead I have this cool grasshopper. He was tiny but I caught him resting on a basil leaf and got this shot. Tiny but colorful little fella. Can you spot him? Sunday, September 14, 2008. Sunday, September 14, 2008.

Not quite ready for crocodiles . Leonard the Cane Toad. Mom and Dad's blog. Sunday, November 29, 2009. Leonard the Cane Toad. This is Leonard. He's a cane toad. He comes to say hi every night outside our dining room window, so I named him. We think he uses the light to hunt delicious crunchy Christmas beetles. I know I'm not supposed to like cane toads because they're an invasive pest and they're dangerous to domestic animals but LOOK AT THIS FACE! Sunday, November 29, 2009. Sunday, November 15, 2009.

Not quite ready for crocodiles . Mom and Dad's blog. Sunday, May 4, 2008. Here's a small picture assortment of different birds around the house. Clo took most of them, she loves the birds here, I also took a few. One of the trees just behind the house started flowering this week. It's a "Weeping Teatree" ( Melaleuca leucadendra. Be sweet because this morning as we were enjoying our sunday morning pancakes, Clo noticed 3-4 rainbow lorikeets chirping and feeding on these flowers. Clo really likes these guy...

The Gecko Hunter: June 2008
http://gecko-hunter.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Not quite ready for crocodiles . Mom and Dad's blog. Saturday, June 21, 2008. We've been told by a few Australians that you should always look where you walk anytime you're in the bush. In Canada, most of the things to look out for on a hike would be at eye level somewhere on the horizon. Things like bears, elk, squirrels, low branches . We went for a bushwalk with Nick from work and his wife Mariana this morning and were reminded why Australians always look where they step: snakes! Tuesday, June 10, 2008.

Not quite ready for crocodiles . Mom and Dad's blog. Tuesday, October 21, 2008. Here's some pics of critters we saw while camping last weekend in Noosa. This big guy greeted us on the first morning. He's a Gould's Monitor (aka Sand Goanna) and was about. This Green Tree Frog was pretty annoyed at us taking picture after picture, lots of flashes for those senstitve eyes. This is a Garden Orb Weaver. It was fairly small ( 2 cm) and had cool spikey legs. Skink There were LOTS of these.
