It's starting to cool down a bit in Tasmania so spending time in the water is getting to be a rarity. The other day was particularly "chilly" so I grabbed the camera and indulged one of my other past times "bushwalking and photography". I followed a creek and noticed something splashing around in one of the larger pools, to my delight it was a Platypus. The little creature was not threatened by my presence and came within about a metre of where I was standing on a log. Not the best shots I know, but the light and glare off the water made it difficult, but definitely a first for me.
