Keeping a promise

When my Mum passed away in 1998, we promised to spread her ashes, along with Dad's (when he finally went) in Marion Bay.

Well, my Dad passed in 2014, and due to the extreme distance of Marion Bay ( 275+ kms = 4 hours drive) it was going to be difficult to organise.

We (my sister & myself) spread both their ashes in the Port River on 8th October 2015; what would have been their 60th Wedding Anniversary.  However, I did keep back some ashes with the intention of spreading them when I eventually got to Marion Bay ... whenever that was going to be.

My friend Joy learned of this, and offered to take me and combine it with a photography weekend away, so that is what we did :)  I am so glad that I was able to keep my promise.

We raised a glass of Port for Dad and had some Cadbury Fruit & Nut Chocolate for Mum :)

Thank you Joy, for enabling me to keep my promise, I could not have done it without you!

Here are just a few pics from around Marion Bay - we are going back again next week!

This is my friend Joy, who nearly lost her jeans attempting to get a photo of a kangaroo that was really close :)

I am sure some people must think that because we live in Australia, kangaroos are just jumping down the street LOL - not the case at all!  So it is always such a treat to see them out in the bush and to be able to get so close to them is a constant source of enjoyment.

Spring is here!

Yesterday, 1st September, was the first day of Spring for us here in the Southern Hemisphere

I spent the day at Adelaide Zoo with my friend Joy, but first here is a pic I snapped when I first got up :)



my camera club had a presentation on 'phone photography' and seeing the morning light, I was tempted to run outside and take a pic with my phone - it didn't quite come up as pretty as it looked in real life, but hey, thems the breaks!  They say the best camera to have is the one that is with you! :)

Linking with Skywatch Friday

We went to Adelaide Zoo specifically to see the new baby Meerkats that were born recently :)



Talk about cuteness overload!  oh, they were so gorgeous, and they proved to be very popular with the visitors - it took a while to get in to a good spot to take some photos.
