Bowen Wharf, Tugs and Black Cockatoos

It has been so long since I have been here and updated...I am so sorry if you have been to visit.But tonight I got inspired again!!! Thanks to Camera Club and Shutter (check this out a bit further down)

A few locals here have started an amateur camera club, meeting once a month!
It started with 10 of us, wonder how many will turn up when everyone knows about it.....We have been set our first challenge....

Take the camera off of Auto and photograph a specific tree at the local Lions park.

Anyway getting back to my photos...Here are a few from Sunday at Bowen, these are the tugs at the Bowen Wharf/Jetty . There is usually only the 2 white ones out there but I was fortunate that 3 were there on Sunday!
But I do however have some photos of Black Cockatoos!
I saw the hugest turtle I have ever seen but unfortunately for me all you can see in the photo is just a bit of his head just out of the water! So I can't share these with you.

I used to visit Shutter when it was a photography blog but tonight I joined the Shutter Ning Site which is run by Mel Connell. Pop over and sign up and add your photo to the Photo challenge "Luminate" this fortnight ending 17th. I have just added 2 photos of what I see as Luminate. Well Good night now it is way past my bed time!!!

Looking forward to sharing more photographs with you all, in the mean time Happy Snapping! Point, Focus and Shoot!! Luv Shaz xoxo
