Riding the waves

Enjoyed a delicious Flat White at Barcelona's Cafe & Wine Bar at Abell Point Marina whilst waiting for the Ferry to Hamilton Island.

Horizon on slight tilt ...    In a bit of a rush
Coffee arrives just in time to rush off to the ferry

Bit choppy on the waves, but had a chance to glimpse the entire fleet competing in Thursday races of Airlie Beach Race Week - Pioneer Bay.  Just a few of the 135 boats in view here.

Been trying a different photographic genre - think I'll call it photo painting in rough seas .... i.e. stay in the cabin and take photos through the window (even though feeling a little green).  Have lots more like this one - love the effect :-)

Getting ready to board the plane now.  Next stop Sydney.

Bye for now.

Counting down ... to an African Safari

Yes ... It's so long since I wrote on my blog that I've had to start again!!!  Now I'm trying to get back into the swing of things & remembering how to go about it.

So ...  Welcome to my very first post of my new blog  zoomfocusshootphotos.blogspot.com.au

First, I'll practise inserting photos & adding captions  :-)

This Cairns Birdwing Butterfly (Male)  

was visiting my citrus fruit trees.

Now it's time to play with text etc. &  let you know what's happening ... 

Yes ... I'm Counting Down to our African Safari.  

Flights, Accommodation, Transport & Safari are booked!    Packing is underway and we leave home tomorrow on our adventure.

The first leg is Airlie Beach to Hamilton Island, then off to Sydney.  We have a few meetings scheduled in Sydney as well as checking out some other camera equipment.  Hope to get time for some photo opportunities at Taronga Zoo, before we leave Oz on Monday.

Bye for now.

Cheers  Jen
