This is my new fangled camera which has been taking nice photos for me. I am still working out all the settings but it is pretty user friendly. It has an 18x Optical Zoom, 27mm wide, 10 mega pixel lens and too many knobs and switches to mention. Most of the sunset photos were taken on AutoFocus - so just point and shoot. Nice!
After a very hot day at work, we packed the car with a bbq tea and headed for the beach at Southend. This is B15 and her friend M14 frollicking in the waves.
Clowning around in the shallows. Very cooling.
K18 took this photo, love the water flick!
A pair of bathing beauties sunning themselves in the dunes.
Time for a bit of high-flying dune leaping! Who has the energy??
A quiet talk between friends..or giggling more like!
We had lamb schazliks, sausages, red noodle salad, satay rice and tossed green salad. Posh for the beach I know, but it was very yummy.
This is our BabyQ Weber barbecue. It is ideal for the beach and the lid keeps the sand out if the winds blowing and it keeps the meat hot after you turn it off. Fabbo!
As the sun started to sink lower, I started taking photos of the sunset. It started out a bright yellow and at this stage it was still very hot. Not real sure of the time but it must have been about 8pm.
Still talking and giggling...
...the waves kept rolling in, the sun getting a deeper yellow...
...almost down over the point at Southend....
...ooops, this one should have been above, either that or the sun has risen higher again...
...the colours were amazing....
...typical women, still talking...
...the clouds put on a wonderful display....
...this was the end result....
Just beautiful...
...they stopped talking just long enough to pose....
Oh, dear...this photo should be last. At the end of a very long day, on the bus home!
A very relaxing day spent with good company (great friends).
Gus and Big Dudda!
Just some of the lovely food we enjoyed all day.
The Cape Jaffa Seafood and Wine Festival is held at Cape Jaffa in the SE of South Australia each January. About 3,000 people enjoyed the fantastic weather, food, wine and music in a very relaxed atmosphere. You should join us next year!
This is my mission today - to tidy my linen closet which is showing clear neglect. It is a great little room to toss stuff when there is no other place for it at the time you need to toss it!
We watched Australia v South Africa at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Boxing Day. Ricky Ponting made a century, the crowd was entertaining and a good day was had by all.
This is Brianna and Kirby with their cousins, Sam, Max and Jed.
