How cool is that :D

I had a wince when I say the herring boat, he has a hell of a load on, on more fish and the scuppers go under :)

Looking forward to the hunting pics :)

G'day CM and welcome back mate.

Truely beatiful work there with those photos. I just knew you would capture what you saw well - you have a real eye for it. :D

The last photo "Just-A-Fishin'..." , is that a Photoshop effect or zoomed as the shot was taken?

I can't say a favourite as I like differnt ones for different reasons. Thanks so much for sharin your adventures with us - love it!!!

Evenin' All (CST... USA),

Jeff, that is the results from a rather pricey wide-angle lens adapter for the little SONY I use for most outdoor applications. Wasn't real thrilled at first, but this image seemed to work well that way (I did figure out that the lens wasn't intended for full zoom... ah well.).


Glad you're all finding a measure of Smile-Time in the sharing.


As Always;

CM they are just brilliant pictures you have taken there.
Well done.
I really like the pic of the otters as they are one of my favourite animals.

Thanks for letting us sharing in your little adventure.

Cm there is such an array of emotion in those picks and your wording for them is to me encompassing they are simply breath tacking, thank you for sharing.

Thank you, CM; your stories and pictures enrich the lives of all who read and view them.
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.
