Picture heavy post – don’t say I didn’t warn you!!

This morning we braved the Thursday morning crush at the supermarket to stock up on necessary items (very odd to be walking round a supermarket looking at salad and BBQ meats while listening to the PA system play Winter Wonderland!!) and took some photos of the local area on the way back. We braved temps of approx 35C to take this photos (aircon in cars is a wonderful invention) so please enjoy them.

Tonight we’re going to a friends house for dinner and will hopefully be taking some photos of the wildlife that she gets in her back yard – Kangaroos and Echidnas as expected with possibly some snakes and spiders as well. We’ve been lucky so far and haven’t seen any of the less attractive Australian wildlife – you’d have heard the girls all the way back in England if they’d come across a Huntsman spider or a King Brown snake. Mel lives in the village that we keep visiting in an effort to get some photos of the Christmas lights, one house in particular is beautiful but so far all our photos look like Vegas all sped up!! If it was just the lights we wouldn’t have a problem but they keep twinkling and its not easy to photograph the chaser lights or the moving reindeer made of chaser lights. We will keep trying though.
