Back Beyond the Boabs!

I ❤ DERBY!



Couple of my favourite baby boabs.



We moved back to Derby...I missed the Boabs!!
The river called me back...or maybe it was the local ladies.
Oh yah!  Feeling the love when I was told I had been Sung back to Derby!!!  
Don't care how I got here, just glad we are!  I've missed my trees!

I have a new love for Baby Boabs!  They are so beautiful!

Tree on the left has nuts, right Kites...I love them too!!!


This is an infant boab.

Dogs weren't so happy about looking at the boabs in the middle of the day.

Serious mum, it's too hot!


Another day, another lot of Boabs.  


Shame Charlie got so excited running around the boabs...no water to swim in here!



NO Swimming here!  Everyone doing what they love...Charlie playing in the mud!

My new favourite photo!!  It's my screen saver at work.
Has it all, Beautiful Boabs, blue sky, and open space!
My heaven!
  No Filter Needed!






Another fav photo, baby boab and wide open space!


We thought you were bringing us feed?
 Ooohhhh these calves!  I just wanted to take them home!!  I kept stopping to take photos of the Boabs, they kept walking up to the car.  But not close enough for me to huge them?  Don't they know I love cows?


I'm such a twitcher!

Ok fav photo number 3!



Oh yah, and this happened ...

Birds Eye View of Exmouth

Johnno's Xmas Present 2018: we finally used the gift certificates I gave him!

Keeping it simply, (because I have just sorted the first 600 photos to make this blog!!), and have another 900+ photos they gave me, still to look at!!

Birds Eye View is a company in Exmouth WA, run by the very fun & energetic owner Gavin: meeting Gav is worth the trip on it's own!!  
Tiny (like the smallest planes in the world!!) microlights, fly from Exmouth Airport just out of town, over the Ranges, to the amazing Ningaloo reef.  We saw so much in the water, but sorry I took my short lens for scenic photos, so didn't get any good shots of the Whales, Whalesharks, Sharks, Turtles, and HUGE balls of bait fish we passed over.

I'll tell the story by photos:

Johnno getting the safety talk from Gav...What could go wrong?

View from my seat, we are all ready to go!


I had my Nervous Giggle going on as we took off, my poor pilot had to listen to me for the first 10 minutes before I settled down.  As we left the ground I was suddenly VERY aware of how very small the microlights ARE!!!

I suddenly felt VERY SMALL!
and our Microlite sudden felt very small as well!!

Johnno was grinning the whole hour!



Exmouth Marina



Both Microlights had GoPro's taking photos...so I have another 900 photos to look at yet!

Crossing the ranges.

My photos do not do it justice, the whole hours was stunning!

Sun starting to go down behind us.

Thanks Johnno down there, checking out the Sharks, Dolphins, Turtles, Dougongs!




Turning to head for home as the sunsets behind us.




Cape Range National Park looked amazing with the sun setting behind us!

Exmouth Gulf ahead with sun setting behind was so beautiful!







Such amazing colours!
