Today was mostly cloudy and not very conducive to scenic photography. It was supposed to start clearing off around noon, but it was still 95% cloud cover by then. I went to the Tower Hill state park to see if I could get a little bit more wildlife. The park is located in an ancient volcanic crater and has several small lakes inside. It is supposed to be a good place to see the Emu, a large flightless bird. I did see several there and got footage of individuals, pairs and a small flock. I also saw one Koala Bear there, but it was not possible to film it as it was obscured high up a tree and the background was bright white cloudy sky.

A small group of Emus. They are a little smaller than an Ostrich. The females leave as soon as they have laid their eggs and the male incubates them and raises the chicks.

This is one of the little crater lakes at Tower Hill.
