I took most of them myself on my Canon digital camera. In 2008 I have taken 2,852 photos, so far, and had to pick
the 16 for this calendar. I hope you like them.
January: What is left of the Dickie wreck on Dickie Beach at Caloundra on the sunshine coast
February: The Big lake at Forestdale, the suburb we live in. Just goes to show you don't have to go far to get a
good photo.
March: A rainbow over Forestdale not far from the lakes. I also like the light on the trees
April: Sunset from our back yard. I don't think anything can beat the colour of a sunset, and it is even better if
you can get it in your back yard
May: A lemon we grew on our lemon tree down the back yard. Mary and Jim gave me the lemon tree when we lived in
Glenroy, Victoria where we had it in a pot. When we moved to Forestdale, Queensland, we planted it down the back
yard and it struggled and never had fruit. Then we move it to over the septic outlet and it loved it. Heaps of big
fruit and so this photo.
June: The western end of Johnston rd, the main road that our suburb come off, about 8 km from where we live and
near where Marg currently works. I was driving when I saw the moon backgrounding the high voltage power lines and
stopped to take the photo. To me it shows human endeavour and how insignificant it is compared to even something
as small in the universe as our moon.
July: My Daughter and my Mother. the younger and older generations in contrast. This one was taken by Kristi
August: The Nerang river at the bottom of Cavil Avenue Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast at dusk. Again some
Great colours created by nature.
September: Taken directly out from the back door in the dark whilst their was a electrical storm over Brisbane.
This had a 15 second exposure to capture the lightening bolts. I had to take about 20 shots to get about 3 with
lightening in it. This was the best of them. More great nature.
October: A close up of a few flowers/leaves of the Bougainvillea plant just out the back door. Marg took this one.
Again the great colours of nature
November: Mother and Baby Possum on the brickwork of our front garden. They live in my Kayak that is suspended
from the roof of the carport and come out every night. Most days when I have a apple for lunch I throw the apple
core into the Kayak for the possums to eat. They also seem to have an appetite for some of Margs flowers.
December: In October we stayed a Mt Tambourine for a few days and on the way home we explored Lamington National
Park where I took this photo when a rain storm move down the valley so creating the rainbow.
Holidays Left: On the East of the Bruce Highway in a pine forest between Caboolture and Caloundra looking west
towards the glass house mountains with one of the mountains in the background. I like the contrast between the
loose gravel road, the pine trees, the sky and the dark mountain
Below October: A quite tame wallaby on South Stradbroke Island where Marg and I went to the Christmas do with
Lacota, the mob we do the seniours voluntary computer training for.
Below November: Sunset at Beachworth where Marg and I stayed on the way home from Melbourne in January. This is the
best of the many we both took of this scene so most likely Marg took it. Some great colours from nature helped
along a bit by human pollution.
Holidays Right: A Carpet Python snake slithers off the road a wet night in February a few doors down from us. Im
not sure if it is the same one that took a Duck in our pool last year considering the possibility of their being
two Carpet Python of about the same size. But on the other hand they do have to breed some how.
