Richard's birthday

We had our traditional birthday BBQ for Richard's birthday on Sunday.  It should have been a lovely warm Spring day, however, we had an artic blast and it was cold and rainy.  We did not let this disrupt the proceedings and we all enjoyed ourselves.

A cold and rainy start to the day.

Foggy and misty weather.

In spite of the weather we all had a good time catching up :-)

Lunar Eclipse last night

 The moon rise was right in front of our house and we had a great view of the Lunar Eclipse.

The moonrise was just after 9pm, it was still light.

A close up of the moon.

As it the night gets darker is more difficult to get a really good photos.

I took photos every 15 minutes or so.

Sorry, blurry.  Half way.

Total eclipse with the Blood Moon.

Later in the evening you can see the moon re-emerging from the eclipse.

November Long Weekend

We had a great day at Greens Beach on the Sunday of the November Long Weekend.  The weather was magic.

There were yachts going past our house in the morning.

There was enough breeze for them to have their sails up.

The Tiruna went past.

The Low Head Lighthouse from Greens Beach.

Going to the water to see how cold it was.

Not sure!

Not too bad.

Sharni and Jason getting their feet wet.

Laying in the warm shallows.

Richard walking to the water to go for a paddle.

Then a snooze in the sunshine.

Making sand castles.

We were eating snacks and the seagulls invited themselves.

They were cheeky and were really close.
