Gifts from the great grand daughter.

[Tom dinning]

My great grand daughter has a connection to nature I’d not witnessed in other kids. At 9 years old she knows more animals and their history than I can imagine.

I believe it’s through her indigenous heritage she has gained a great deal this understanding and connection.

As a result of this, I’m constantly being informed.

Specimens are collected regularly and fill my office.

Yesterday it was some bush tucker and a dragonfly. My job is to photograph them, store them and lose possession of any free space I might have in the house.
Heaven forbid when she learns to drive and starts bringing home road kill.

You know it’s been a good day when you turn up to Pre-school and your then 4 year old has found you a gift for the office.

She was the only one in the school mad or brave enough to catch it and pick it up.

The dragonfly detail is very nice but what kind of snake is that?

Great photograph Tom... the bit of motion blur works well! I didn't know that you had abilities to make photographs.
