Leading into last weekend – it is lunch time Friday and we are on the road – a 2 hour road trip for a weekend adventure – our long anticipated weekend away at “Moogerah Dam” spending two night staying at a beautiful old house based on the banks of the Dam itself – a nicely secluded (as in the last house on a dead end road with a lot of farm land between us and the closest neighbour) – sharing the time with some great friends.
On the evening of our arrival, we were treated to a stunning sunset across the water.
In summary a great weekend – we photographed, fished, and did a little bit of boating – there was a bonfire – we will be back.
A link to their website is here for anybody looking to go there – there is also caravan and tent accommodation available separately but you do not get this fabulous seclusion.
If you want to see even more photos from the weekend – I will have these and more on my facebook photography page soon
Just a few of our local visitors – these birds have been visiting for a number of years – and can be here on a daily basis – or sometimes months between visits – we have a Bird Feeder – which I put seed out on a random basis – so the Birds do not get dependent on it.
Mr Fluffy Cheeks thought I was taking too long to acknowledge his request and was threatening destruction on part of the balcony if I did not comply
And then having a bit of a preen
Meet Psycho – one of our more regular visitors – he looks innocent enough – but will quickly throw a wing up to keep anybody else from sharing the seed with him as per this video
And this post will hopefully be the start to a return to blogging .
It has been while since I have blogged for various reasons – and have had some ongoing camera issues – well some of the issues might be me – so went out yesterday morning for a “testing ” session and ended up at Nudgee Beach.
I spotted this Grey Faced Heron in the Mangroves, and he behaved and did not fly away when I interrupted his hunting, insteadt just flew up into a tree for a clean while I loitered around below him.
Looks like I still have some issues with focussing – so more work to be done there.
Inskip Point had an abundance of Bird Life, so may continue posting them for a few days ( and also because I have had to work and not gone out and taken any more photos since (except a quick sunset last night).
So bird of choice for today, I thought should be the Pelican, it is Saturday here, and they seem a very “saturday” sort of bird.
Is there any photo that says weekend better then a photo of aYacht, Pelicans, sand and water?
.
Okay, there should be more Pelican photos, but not saved on this hard drive, will have to do a second Pelican post then sometine later.
