A bit of everything

Good Morning one and all....These first 3 photos were taken near the river or on one of our many drives to the river! If I don't go to the river about 20-30 mins drive away at least once a week, I start to go crazy!!! The river is my happy place!

This photo was taken on one of my early morning photo sessions...We were out taking photos of Moonlight Cactus to capture them before they close up at dawn

This sunset was taken near Nebo/Glenden when there was a huge fire around somewhere. The red glow from the fire just set the sun alight!!!
Looking forward to sharing more photographs with you all, in the mean time Happy Snapping! Point, Focus and Shoot!! Luv Shaz xoxo

Dragonflies, Almost Butterflies, Bugs, Spiders and Bambi

The first two dragonflies are Treena's Dragonflies....I have never ever seen a green dragonfly!


These are all my photos now!!!




Well everybody just a quick post today....Hope I can inspire you all to go out and take some photos. I am so glad that I have inspired you Angie to go out and take some new photos, as I love the photos that you have taken and shared with us all.

Mystery Drive....to all this beauty

Finally I have the time to get around to sharing some more of my photos with you. These were taken on Easter Sun when Baz & I went for a Mystery Drive to what I thought would be Mt Dangar!!! But as I said in my blog post we didn't get to where I wanted to go, BUT! I got to take some lovely scenery photos along the way!

We think this is Mt Dangar! Still don't know though! LOL

The Don river with a Jabiru in it
Dead Trees were a highlight

An Abandoned Homestead and the family horse
Another Dead Tree

So we decided to go to Bowen and spend the rest of our day exploring the beach and relaxing by the beach and these are the photos that I took .

Washed up seed pod on the beach
New growth of Mangroves

Sorry there are so many it is hard just to choose only a couple to capture this day! Even though it was overcast most of the day I love the photos that I took!!
My favourite would have to be the seed pod!!!

Totally random and a lil bit naughty

Hello one and all....Here's hoping today is a beautiful day for you all!!
Hope you all have a wonderful Easter and happy holidays!
Just wanted to share with you some totally random photos and one that's a lil bit of naughty photo! Funny Naughty!!!

Here's another what is it photo????
Looks a lot like a bear hugging my mango tree....but NO! That isn't it!!!
Will tell you at the end of this post.
The next photo is of raindrops on the long grass at the river when it was in flood last year! I took this photo with my friend Marissa's old camera Canon EOS 350D while she was playing with her new camera Canon EOS-1D Mark III.
This photo is of a Tree at Eungella National Park.....Love how the vines have become part of the tree....
Up close and personal with a cicada
And this last photo is a lil bit naughty....But I did warn you I take the photos of everything!!! We were on holidays at Mission Beach and I saw this photo opportunity!!!And the answer to my question in the 1st photo is.... A Swarm of Bees took over my mango tree. It was totally random chance that I got this photo!!!
My Son Jeff was mowing our lawn and had been in the backyard for quite some time and I went down to give him a drink and that was when I noticed the black thing in the mango tree!!! I was like get away from there!!! Obviously the queen bee had moved the hive and all of the workers just followed! We left them alone and the next morning they were gone!!! Just lucky for me that I saw them because Jeff didn't!!!

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

This place takes my cares away...

This is my happy place, the one place that takes my cares away!!! I always feel so relaxed and happy when I come back from the Bowen River!!! Just wanted to share these photos with you. It was about 5 pm when we got out to the river, so yes these photos are a lil dark! They have a natural late afternoon ambiance!!!

The first photo is of a Butterfly (of course, I had to take a photo of them because I LOVE Butterflies) The next photos are of the River with it's stunning reflections from the sunset....

Another photo of a Butterfly way up high on a tree...
Hope you feel relaxed now too! Looking forward to sharing more photographs with you all, in the mean time Happy Snapping! Point, Focus and Shoot!! Luv Shaz xoxo

I Need a Holiday....

Hello my fellow bloggers!!! So much has happened to us over the past weekend!!!(Check out my CreativeMe68 blog) So I feel like I need a holiday!!!
Caloundra or Camping.....mmmm I think I would rather the luxury at the moment!!! I need to be pampered! Wanna come on holidays with me???
What are your plans for Easter??? I don't have anything planned yet, should get onto that, in the meantime check these out!!!

Picture postcard locations, Beautiful Caloundra on the Sunshine coast!

Or the Peace and Tranquility of the bush out the Bowen River where we go camping! Just such a lovely peaceful spot to camp! You can hear the water cascading over the rocks and listen to all the different birds that are singing their own lil songs and watch nature come out at night! For me it is just so nice to be relaxing near water!!!
Sorry it has taken me so long to update my photo blog, but I am just so fortunate that I have my external with all my photos on because I lost all my doc's and photos on my new computer over the weekend. I will have to try to create the same watermark for all my other photos! Yeh I lost it too!!! Wish me luck in finding the same website so I can!
Looking forward to sharing more photographs with you all, in the mean time Happy Snapping! Point, Focus and Shoot!! Luv Shaz xoxo
