Saturday Neil felt inspired to do a bit of portrait photography with Bradley as the guinea pig. We were pleased with the results and it meant Neil got to do some more experimenting with his printer.
The ‘guinea pig’!
Late afternoon we headed to the coast for a sunset walk along the beach. We headed to Mudjimba Beach as it’s a while since we’ve been there. A pre walk coffee was called for at a lovely café with great sofas. It’s great now Bradley can sit in between us on a sofa!
As you guessed Neil took some photos while we were down on the beach. The main subject being 'Mudjimba Island' or also known as 'Old Woman Island', we call it 'Whale Island' as it looks like a whale.
It’s 1km off the coast, Neil really wants to go there but it’s not that easy. The tales we’ve heard so far include, that there is a deep patch of water in between which contains some nasty marine life like sharks! And that the island is infested with snakes who feed on the sea birds there. Also that it’s very difficult to land a boat there, So don’t expect a blog entry from there anytime soon, if I get my way!

Sunday morning was spent giving Tanky a much needed clean out. He looks like a different ute but still covered in mud on the outside!
We packed a picnic and headed to a Lake which is about 20 mins north. It’s called Lake MacDonald and it has some botanical gardens next to it. We’ve not been before so it thought it was worth an explore. We weren’t disappointed it was a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon. There was a perfect spot by the lakeside for a picnic. We had a relaxing picnic before walking around the gardens.

At the gardens they had an amphitheater next to the lake.

Afterwards we drove along some back roads to come out at Tewantin which is the next to Noosa. We stopped at the marina, had a quick look at the shops, grabbed a coffee and fed Brads some pumpkin watching the boats and pelicans on the river.

On the way home, we drove home the scenic way and passed a cool old cabin which made a great photography subject.

Then just up the road from the house, Neil decided to photograph a local field.
Altogether it’s been an enjoyable and relaxing weekend .
