When the search for a small animal turned into a close encounter with a big one! This portrait of a Western Grey Kangaroo – often overlooked and taken for granted in the Australian bush – shows its raw and authentic features when foraging at arm’s length. Inquisitive enough to pose for the camera, sufficiently alert to defend its nearby doe with a kick of its mighty hind legs.

Nice! That could also be called “In Your Face!” 🙂

It certainly was Janet! Despite being so big and bulky these roos sometimes use their stealth as all of the sudden it stood behind me!
Really? Ugh, that sounds super-freaky!
I took this picture at Conto, a place popular with campers, so he must have trusted me loads!
What a portrait, Maurice!
Thanks Dries, I think both the roo and I were taken by surprise that moment. Took the photo faster than his decision to take off.
With a brilliant result!
That’s too much mate; thanks 🙂
Oh, wow! What a shot! Brilliant photography.
We’re looking forward to following your blog. 😀🌿
