Camouflage

Posted by Organik Mum (Victoria, Australia) on 5 November 2007 in Animal & Insect.

The two small mounds of dirt and stone on either side of the echidna were dug within minutes. They have very powerful claws that rip through even the hardest patches of earth. To watch, it is like they 'swim' through the soil as they dig, pushing the earth to both sides, which then produces extra protection that they lay and hide in. While motionless, they pierce the earth with their claws, holding tight, so they can't be moved.

Thanks for stopping by my visual journal! Any comments written, are greatly appreciated.

I take photos because I enjoy it, I find it relaxing, it's a creative outlet and because I can't draw! lol I have no style to speak of. If something catches my eye, I'll photograph it, as I perceive it. I'm experimental if I do any PP work to a photo, as this is part of the creative process for me. So as you can see, I have no aspirations to be a Master Photographer. I take photos simply because I enjoy it. If you're interested there are more bits and pieces here.
