Now, you may think that the 13th anniversary 'thing' was 'lace' - phah, fru-fru nonsense. It's whales, didn't you know, WHALES. We'd been hankering to go for ages, so finally treated ourselves yesterday - fantastic!
On the boat at Nelson Bay, ready to Watch some Whales! Nice scenery round there, too.
Humpbacks Breaching!
Humpback waving his flukes - and grinners in the wind
Seal sunbathing - you'd think it would be easier to just get out of the water but apparently not.
You can just see the two dolphins disappearing under the boat if you look hard... and some more further on
Nelso Bay Marina - off for our fish and chips!
Hungry Horaces waiting for Food
FOOD! Damn fine, too!
Pelicans and Playgrounds
throwing sand (glory) and someone utterly asleep after a tiring morning

Thanks for the lovely, super pics Poppet and Pie. As usual I put lots of comments under the Pie’s photos and again they all disappeared. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Any suggestion would be very appreciated (within limits, please). You are both such excellent photographers and your subjects are also well worth loads of shots. You all seem so happy and enjoying yourselves, I am so glad for you. Sometimes I feel a little guilty that I am having such an easy time while you are struggling with children and homes, but I hope the good moments make up for it all.
ReplyDeleteWe were both very impressed last night when the Non was writing her questions to show us on Skype, she is such a clever little sausage. I hope she will soon manage to regain all her toys, Filippo went through exactly the same phase. He and his parents are now going across Canada in a mobile home, I hope they like it, I would prefer a five star hotel or even just stay at home, but then I am an old chicken.
Lots of love to all seven of you.
Woofie
HAPPY LATE ANNIVERSARY!!! MAny apologies for absolutely being a horrible pie as usual, home things took over and some bad behavior from Leo recently so everything just slipped my mind,I think it's a "before turning seven" new bout of phases, the more frequent they are the more one gets tired and angry and things tend to get even worse. I'm so glad that you had a TERRIFIC time- what gorgeous pics! The whale one- wow, like a NGeographic master, Non must have had a blast! I love the one of her throwing sand, so blissful. For us you sent a lovely present and all and as usual Pie fell short again...
ReplyDeleteHope that all the peeing is going well, we had more episodes of the same recently over here as well so I know where you're coming from.If you find a solution please let me know cause I'm out of ideas. Thanks for taking time for all the comments, ours weren't worth it since we were too busy being wet most of the time to take anything worthwhile...
Sweetie sausage (not as porky as mine still!)
as sweet as ever, and grown again too if I may add, look at those leggies! Writing questions?
After all the learning Leo still has to be reminded to actually READ something rather than ask me "Mummy what's that about?" and then not listen anyway.
Let me not meander on more of that again, anyway happy happy belated anniversary, thanks for the LOVELY pics and hope to catch you soon!
XOXOXO, S
