In The Backyard

Took a few pics of the rainbow lorikeets getting ready for a meal. A while later I caught this bloke in the bignonia vine at the side of the house. The snake is a common tree snake and was put safely in the National Park behind my garden. When I went back into the house, I could smell a certain unpleasant odour, washed my hands and the odour persisted. As we were ready to go into Mackay, I had to put some aftershave on my wrist to dispel the smell. Having dealt with many snakes in , or on the breezeway,that's the first time I have had to resort to putting aftershave to mask/kill the smell....
