Isadora Art and Photography 
Wonderful shots of creatures in the wild, Isadora. You’ve seen quite a few of them, and seem to have gotten up close and personal to them as well. Really enjoyed the BW background in the Macaw shot – you really made the birds stand out. I haven’t seen that many black swans in Australia but they are certainly beautiful 😊

I was just made aware of this issue from @ramblingranger. I’ve navigated my blog but don’t seem to be able to find what’s wrong. ☹️
I’ve contacted WP but no help so far.
I hope everyone gets to see it. I searched my photographs and had found some interesting pics. Thanks for letting me know. It helps …
