I enjoy that you generally don't try to make everything so bright that it hurts my eyes to view it.
It must have actually been pretty bright when you shot this, by guessing from your posted settings.

Perfect angle, timing, and shutter speed got this one. Color free makes it even better.

Bad girl, shooting while in the landing pattern when all electronic devices are supposed to be turned off. : ) The photo was worth the risk.

Looks like the bug spray worked!
You found some very quirky places on your vacation. I like the pastel look for this.

You made this "weed" look great! Too bad you can't eat them.

This is wonderful Roz! This is a very pretty bird. I thought that it was a senegal at first until I saw the wing colors. You are so lucky to be where there are so many wild parrots. I hope that you can get friendly with a few of them that you like. If you call, whistle, or ring a bell when you put feed out, they will quickly learn that there's food when they hear the sound. It will make it easier for you to bring them close for photos. Keeping a regular schedule for when you feed them helps too. They just know what time of day it is, esp lunch time.

Downtown through the Trees

This is very thoughtfully composed. Your camera settings were exactly right for the scene too, with shadow detail, good highlight control, and good color.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a bird.

Flying "a-round" ?
I'm impressed.

Another fun experiment

I also shoot like this occasionally. With a little practice, you can get to know the angle that your lens will capture. I find that shooting with focal length at about 35mm seems to get close to the angle of view that I would normally be seeing while looking at the scenery.
That is a very interesting looking old place, with all the historic looking farm equipment.

Petroglyphs

Now we know where the presidential seal came from. It's interesting that from this pov, the group of rocks look like some kind of animal, with the head being at the right end.
