On our recent trip to Cape St Francis, Chaos Boy decided to tag along on my outing to find the wreck indicated on the information sheet at the resort we were staying at. While I was taking pictures all over the show, he was exploring away on his own. I liked how his red shirt stood out against the greenery.He found a lot of "sea sound shells" as he calls any shell he can keep up to his ear to…

In September I did a post featuring the Seal Point Lighthouse with a Candelabra flower in the foreground which I took some time ago. On our recent visit the Candelabra flowers were in bloom again and I decided to see if I can get some slight variations on the original photo. So here is one of the pic I came up with.

Regular visitors my remember that I did a post a couple of weeks ago about a Rain Spider's Nest. This last weekend on our camping trip the people on the site next to us found a rain spider in their caravan and the man caught it and brought it out to release it in to the bush again. As always I had my camera on hand.

The wind out at Cape St Francis was just right for the kite surfers to come out and play. The wind was on-shore and the guys were gunning it up and down the beach in the shallows.
