Moon

Lots of photos here but I thought you might like to see Semaphore early in the morning.

Shooting the moon

It takes me about 10 minutes in the car to get to Semaphore it is a lovely beach and it is where I go to the butchers and green grocers and do my shopping.

This is where you will find me at dawn on Anzac Day.

Boot Camp
I don't understand why on a hot morning you would go to the beach with a women who yells at you............................. and run up and down the sand.
The beach was beautiful this morning just perfect for walking and enjoying not running and sweating.
Don't you just love the one on the end trying to keep her pants up.

Shooting the moon

then to top it off you have to do push ups and get sand on your hands urrrrrrrrrrr

Shooting the moon

I think these 2 lads had just given up and died.

Shooting the moon

now they had to sit in the sand and do sit ups
it just isn't natural

Shooting the moon

I hope you enjoyed a visit to Semaphore to see the moon and the sun come up.

This post is for your Leanne............and Jodie I know you do some moon snapping too.........

I was watching Oprah's Australia visit last night and forgot to turn on the hoses so I ran out to put the timers on and look what I found
the moon was rising...........a stunning full moon.........
it was down a bit further in the clouds when I first saw it............
and when I got up this morning at "sparrows fart" look what I found..............
the moon was setting straight out the front window............
so I grabbed my camera and raced out again with my new tripod I  got for Christmas...........
I was having fun playing on my manual camera settings changing the F stop and the other number dial...........whatever it's called..........
all taken at the same time but look at the difference.........

going going............

Starting With J!



These pictures of the 'Jetty' are taken at our local beach...'Jubilee Beach'. This particular beach is on the Main street in Swansea Tassie, and where most of the tourists and locals go in summer for a swim...except me because I'm always worried that Jaws might be in the water!... lol! My boys also spend alot of time fishing off the end of the jetty and have caught many a fish!
