Behind the Scenes; Margaret River WA.




 Ever had one of those ‘oh dear’ moments!  It happened on day 340 whilst visiting the Margaret River area.  The wineries, micro-breweries, chocolate houses are some of the manmade treats in the area.  Nature gives you the beautiful beaches and country side.  She also throws up those rogue waves whilst visiting Margaret River Beach.  Wide angle lenses really get in there.  Sometimes you have to get a little closer, not sooo close that a wave is going to take you back out into the Indian Ocean.  As I said ‘oh dear’ on the last shot, whilst scrambling down the wet slippery rocks, kelp, foot twisting, wave coming around the corner, slipping, holding on to said camera, and still remaining upright.  Heart beating out of my chest; still had camera in hand that was main thing all be me a little wet.  As I make my way back to hubby waiting on the beach.  He couldn’t understand why I high tailed it.  I apparently missed the best shot!  Will just have to live with the one that got away!  This time chose the camera from a salt bath, and yep I may have said something other than ‘oh dear’ but this is a ‘g’ rated show.

Behind the scenes....



Behind the scenes at Shwedagon Pagoda; the grounds are swept by a team spanning the base.  Magic dance of weaving in and out of the people walking around, praying, standing staring at the glory of the stupa rising high into the sky.

Behind the Scenes...

Christmas day; Two dogs, dress ups, props, host of family and friends, Christmas cheer.  What could possible go wrong with getting a picture of two puppies on Christmas day?  Love working with animals it sets the challenge and when you work with two cuties, it is a bit hard not to have a fun, and get into the giggle loop.  :)

Behind the Scenes...Vegas

  Full of life, a beach, hot summer's day.  Vegas loved running up and down the beach.  All be it a little afraid of the water, but hey she is croc savvy so no need to go there...a beautiful spirited girl. :)

Behind the Scenes with Cassie, who said older dogs are no fun! Even in the heat, Cassie did an amazing job. Sometimes food rewards help too! :)

Behind the Scenes...

They say never to work with kids or animals whilst taking photos, but sometimes they just bring a smile to your face. :)

Day 229 – Sunshine; Storm; Sunshine.


 

  Mix bag of weather today, but the sunshine held out to explore Holloways beach just 15min from Cairns CBD.  The stinger nets are up on all the northern beaches, and if you are a little lucky or unlucky you may even see a ‘snappy handbag’.  It’s the mating season so they are on the move between rivers finding a partner.    So even better reason to swim between the flags and in the net.  :)

One day to go.....it will all begin again :)

I really can't believe it has come around so fast.  I was counting down the days then BAM, Dday is tomorrow; 5  April 2012.  The beginning of a new year through the lens.  So let me brush you up on the rules of 'A Year Through the Lens'.  I have to take a photo each day, no matter where I am and what I am doing.  Post it, when possible.  Not all the places I will be will have access to the web; yes I know it is hard to believe but there are still some places like that exist, and they are amazing. 

So sit back and enjoy the ride.  This year to start off with at the end of the month be heading to the Victorian High Country and chilling around the outskirts of Melbourne, July heading back to China for the Bring Me Hope camp, plus a couple of days in Honkers, September off on a car rally of the Red Centre of Australia, and right at the end of the year heading to Myanmar (Burma) which is very exciting.  Of course there will be lots of 'local' Cairns scenes to get you to come and see a great part of Australia, and a bit of abstract stuff thrown in along the way.  Who knows what will turn up this year, but then again that is all part of the adventure.

Enjoy.

Kind regards
Michele :)

PS:  Something to get you starting, this was taken when we were visiting Vietnam a really magical place that definitely has to go on the bucket list of travel.




Halong Bay
In the far north of Vietnam, off the coast lies the pearls left behind by a dragon.  Left dormant over thousands of years they have formed into limestone mountains; jagged edges protruding from the sea to form the spiritual wonder of Halong Bay.  Junk boats weave in and out of the mountains on the calm oceans at sunset.  While fisherman earn their living casting nets and lines.  Taking back the catch of the day to their floating villages.  Whole cities on water, children born with sea legs.  Vietnam has many wonders and is one of my favourite countries visited thus far.  It is definitely one to add to your bucket list of travels.
