Conceptually, this week is virtually identical to last week since the location I was originally planning to shoot turned out to be inaccessible. So I'll write a bit about Parramatta Park (where this was taken) instead.
For those who have never been, Parramatta Park is huge. So huge that it took a good couple years of (infrequent) visits with friends (mostly Emily) before we ran out of places we hadn't seen before while hunting for good photos. I appreciate it for its versatility, seeing as it's got everything from gardens to open fields to the riverside. It's the sort of place I'd recommend to anyone who wants to get a range of photos, since it's pretty easy to move between the different areas relatively quickly despite its size.
There's also quite a bit of wildlife that likes to hang around, quite literally in the case of the flying fox camp along one section of the river:
On this particular trip we also spotted a heron, ducklings, and a bright red dragonfly, in addition to the lizard pictured up top. I'm not great with animal classification so if you know what kind of lizard it is, feel free to drop me a line and I'll update this post accordingly.
Parramatta Park: 10/10 would recommend.
