Vixens other Shots and Random Wanderings

Kinda off topic....but you should check out the spiffy new 10 million dollar yacht that partially sank during its launch.

But the shots of your yachts are gorgeous. And I hate the ocean.....

I saw that. How would you feel?

About a 10M yacht sinking at launch? Well after I stopped laughing hysterically I would probably make the designer/builder(s) walk the plank.

The sad thing is the designer probably went broke with that effort and the owner got no recompense But if you can afford a 10mill yacht, it maybe doesn't matter

Local creek. The water is a bit low at the moment, it's better after a bit of rain when the falls are running more, but still a pretty spot anyway







and another couple near my favourite local farm













All that cloud and not a drop of rain

I so enjoy your photos
And will have to catch up on 2 weeks worth soon.

It was a lovely afternoon on the beach yesterday while I was waiting for sunset & moonrise

Had a trip up the coast to see my kids yesterday. I don't often go over the bridges so decided to stop for my photo of the day. Just a quick 5min stop to snap off a few quickies on a grey & dreary day

I went to a very small local craft market today. I had hoped I could sit somewhere and see people come and go and maybe take some candid shots, but it didn't work out that way. I hate taking "people" shots. It is something I hope to kick very soon. I did take a couple of photos of people but they weren't all that good. But just to show that I actually did, this fellow was sitting just outside the door of the local hall



a couple of other photos I took in the park yesterday













Just love these strangler figs

 

[Michael J.]

WOW, the tree/nature shots are wonderful

 

[Marilynne]

Our Strangler Fig is consuming our chain link fence. We didn't plant it and never knew what it was until a few years ago. It's very messy!!

Nice nature shots! Were you using a fisheye? Or a wide angle?

Wide angle. Tokina 12-24mm

Found another new spot on one of the local rivers yesterday. IT was lovely and peaceful in the late afternoon sun

a couple of other recent shots.......

When I was doing the shot with drinking straws for 202/365 days I took this one. I love the colour



Up on the headland today I had another go at BIF and got this one which I think is pretty good. Normally the birds don't come in close enough to fill the screen like this and I have to crop out, but this one flew right over my head



My poor old doggie. She loves to go out but tires quickly these days. Here she is looking tired and fed up just before we came home

It's sugarcane harvest around our area at the moment and after the cane is cut, and the remains made into mulch hay, the farmers burn off the remains & stubble. Caught a field burning off as we were driving across to the beach today





Trying to find a spot with some long grass so I can get some long exposure shots. Long grass...easy eh? Nope.....not around here



Long exposure water



It was windy so I had a go at catching flying sand



and todays 365 shot was cropped out of this shot

Your burning cane with the tractor shot is exquisite.
