My boy the sheep and a sunset

Sunset on Christmas night. DH bought me a new tripod so I had to try it out. I love it.











A quick snap from the Kinder Christmas play. Chris made a very cute sheep.

Lavender

A shot from my garden tonight. It's not real sharp coz of the wind, but I really like the purple against the green.

Dave Surfing

This weekend we went camping with the people from my husband's work. I was too slack to get up at dawn to take photos of the sunrise over the beach, but I did get some photos of one of the guys surfing. It really was too far away for my 70-200 lens, but I wasn't going to wade out into the surf and they weren't coming in any closer. As you can see by the wet suits, even though it's summer down here, the water is still cold.

Mainly Pelicans

These are some photos I took a few days ago. The colour is pretty bad, especially in the first one. Getting the exposure right on the pelicans was trisky - I think some of the white feathers are a bit blown out. The last one is a mother swamp hen (or a Pukeko - a my Kiwi DH would call it) feeding her chick. I deleted the first two coz the colour was just toooooo bad, I'll repost them after I re-edit.
