Every once in a while (like 17 times a day) my wife is overcome with the urge to hug Jasper. The price you pay for being an adorable fluffy dog, I guess. Well, there are worse things than being loved, Jasper.
This is 'Bri' a young friend of mine who loves photography & doing a little bit of modelling for me.
I love Taking classic B&W photos but i have to admit i do really enjoy doing selective colour B&W in editing.
Hervey bay/ˈhɑrvi ˈbeɪ/ is a city in Queensland, Australia. The city is situated approximately 290 kilometres (180 mi) or 3½ hours highway drive north of the state capital, Brisbane. It is a natural bay between the Queensland mainland and nearby Fraser Island. The local economy relies on tourism which is based primarily around whale watching in Platypus Bay to the North, access to Fraser Island, accessible recreational fishing and boating and the natural north facing, calm beaches with wide undeveloped foreshore zones.
At the 2011 Australian Census the city recorded a population of 76,403.[1] Hervey Bay is an area of high population growth...
Climate
Hervey Bay has a mild climate with an average 30 °C (86 °F) in summer and 22 °C (72 °F) in winter. The coast is predominantly affected by the south east trade winds throughout the summer with occasional strong northerly winds and storm swells. These winds keep the temperatures down in summer and up in winter, preventing temperature extremes. As a result, Hervey Bay rarely experiences temperatures over 35 °C (95 °F) in summer or under 5 °C (41 °F) in winter.
Cyclones are a threat at times with Cyclone Hamish threatening in 2009 as a Category 5. The land mass of Fraser Island significantly affects the pattern of weather in Hervey Bay and protects the immediate marine environment from open ocean storm effects. Cyclone Oswald in 2013 caused significant damage in the area, mainly as a result of tornadoes spawned by the system. The average rainfall for the year is around 1,100 millimetres (43 in). December to March is the main rainy period, with a secondary peak in May and June. The months of April and from July to November are generally dry and sunny.
Whale watching
Hervey Bay is the whale watching capital of Australia, with humpback whales migrating along the coast between April and October every year. Researchers at the Oceania Project conducted a 14 year study which found the bay was an important social hub for humpback whales.[15] Whale number have increased from about 2,000 in 1992, to around 7,000 in 2005.[15] Hervey Bay is the resting place for Humpback whales, Mum's and Calves, they come to the Bay to rest and build up energy for their long travels back to Antarctica. The Adults come to play, socialise and there have been heat runs observed in the Bay. The Humpback Whales are known to be very relaxed in the company of the whale watching vessels.
It has been raining for a few days and forecast for more rain most of the coming week. What better time for an Aussie Mudbowl rematch!!! Besides, gotta burn that energy off rain or shine!!!
(FYI, everybody won!!! ...except Mom & Dad and the towels)

Don't know this one, out of our area ( about 200km from where we live ). We were looking at bee sites and of course I took the camera.
Have a great weekend, work as usual for us.

A cabochon I made from polymer clay with a glass gem and bits of jewelry. There is a little sprig of holly and a Christmas tree. A fellow artist said it looked like an Australian Christmas...hot, brown and dusty. LOL! Well....I promise it's not dusty. XD

The sort of shot I been hoping to get. This is a great sport and offers real photographic potential for those who could get proper access. No-one's fault but mine for not doing proper research.From front-on you can get a much better view of the jostling etc that's involved in getting position on the runners preferred flag.Anyway. That's all from the Aussies on the Sunshine Coast. Hopefully a little bit of interest, even without any birds :-) .

Art lessons with the Kangaroos on our latest holiday out west. Found a nice spot in the bush and set up and the roos didn't care. They went about their business and we set about ours.
Lia Vansevenant of the Wildcats ladies in action yesterday. She'll be in Aussie next year, and I am sure she will do well there.

This little girl has me baffled. She has no heart on her butt (or any sign of one)and her tag reads '87 but the last 2 letters are unreadable (so not an '88 baby)She has dimples, but she is paler than my other Aussies but darker than my US boys. She seems to have the DR's style fringe.
