Hi everyone,
The response I recently received from fellow birding-ausers who had the most
beautiful photographs made me so glad that I had summoned the courage to put
out a request for help with images of small woodland mammals which I wanted to
incorporate into an illustration for a local community project of a woodland
plant community incorporating all creatures great and small that may have
belonged here before European settlement. The pressure was really on at that
stage but thankfully now I'm allowed to spend whatever time is necessary to do
the work justice. I'll post an image of the final artwork to everyone as a pdf
once it's completed.
The group have asked whether I could do another sign which gives information
about Silver Banksia (Banksia marginata) in the natural landscape and the
garden. I've done the research for the text but I'm just wondering whether
anyone has any images which show animals (birds and mammals) feeding or nesting
in this plant or relate to the plants' response to fire.?
(I've been wondering whether I might resort to bribing my two pet red
wattlebirds to pose for me but, while I can draw and paint beautifully, my
photography skills (and the camera) are nothing compared to the skills of the
people who replied to my request the other day and my birds tend to be more
excited about the potential of my hair as nesting material than posing in the
bouquets I bring them to supplement their Wombaroo.) I hope I am not pushing my
luck by asking for help a second time but would love to make the sign as
meaningful and engaging visually as I can and would acknowledge any images used
that are not my own. Can anyone help?
