Hard to believe I have made it to the start of the 12th and final month!! Seems like yesterday that we started but there have been days where it felt like years ago.
Feel good factor today. I saved my subject from a horrible death. I found him wandering across a busy road. Nearly ran over him then did a U turn to go rescue him.
He was a bit reluctant at first to pose - just curled up into a ball but eventually realised I meant him no harm and came out to play.
he is so low to the ground and in recently cut grass that a clear shot was difficult!
More's the pity
So here he is.
I must say he did look a bit of a tramp!

Very cool shots and a great save.

When I drove to work the other morning very early (0230am) I saw a small brown thing on the road, I dodged as much as I could as I was doing 130km/hr (speed limit) when I got to work I found numerous echidna quills in my tyre. I do hope he survived, but I think I would have clipped him a bit.

The roads are put through their natural habitat, you will probably find paths off the side of the road where they have walked.
Some of the turtles we've helped went down a cement curb and were on asphalt roads. We have a lot of canals and too many housing developments.
Or people simply build hotels right on their traditional routes - in this case elephants.

I just wanted to try out my tripod tonight but had no plan.
This meant I could try slower shutter speeds so I went to a fairly busy "intersection" - a place where people emerge or enter the local riverside walk.
of course as luck would have it the only action I got was one cyclist before I was properly set up and in too much light. A real "Grrr ... " outing.
Here is the cyclist.
I would have preferred that shot in this light
And here is a BW version of the latter (just to show I am doing my homework!)

Nothing wrong with your photos Lawrence. I guess you are not 100% happy with your PP'ing at present but that'll improve once you get used to the new software. I'm thinking this last month might be the hardest. Dunno about you but I am out of inspiration and enthusiasm ATM and just want it finished, but I won't be caving in and giving up this close to the end 
and I hope you won't either

No @Vixen I can't see me giving up unless I do so on the last day - just to prove a point.
Inspiration has gone but I am learning so much about PP. Have signed up to Lynda.com and find the videos and teaching style suit me perfectly. So everything is onwards and upwards but I am looking forward to 1/1/15 at very least.
