A few Emus...the one in the portrait was walking along side of me, I had my 300mm lens on and had to push him away a bit so I could get a shot...

Nice shots Ron. 
That’s really starting to look like Jurassic park!

Oh good! It’s comforting to know you’re ok!

With that look in his eye I was a bit worried there for a while...

Cool shots of those emus!! Are they wild and in your neighborhood or at a park or zoo? They must be fairly tame to come so close to you.

Thanks Dodie, these were in a wildlife park. I was a member of Wildlife Photographers Australia for a few years and we worked out of this park. The Cleland Wildlife Park up in the Adelaide Hills.
They do run wild though, a short drive into the country and you can see them, just need to be careful they don't try to run across the road in front of you. This is a big problem with Kangaroos.

Beautiful shots Ron. An Emu is used in a car insurance TV commercial here in the states.

Great set Ron. They have such big eyes. Must have been fun to be that close to them

Thanks Jim, yes it was a bit unsettling at first but he seemed to take to me OK...
