A Montage

I keep a folder with miscellaneous photos in it that I like but haven't posted to a specific day so I'm going to add them in here.  Some are people, some are just kinda interesting things seen while out and about.

Tons of unsuspecting fish swim by while this bird waits for the perfect one, this one looks a bit too big.

Watching and waiting for the bird to catch his dinner out of the koi pond....

Huge ferns growing at the crater

This is a beach that you don't find on the maps and it doesn't seem to be advertised, lots of locals like to come here.  There's a somewhat rocky trail down to it so you don't want to have to carry too much stuff, but once there it's a beautiful quiet spot.

No plans except to watch the waves.....

This little guy loves to hang out with his mama, no matter where she happens to be.  :)

Near the place we're staying we have some local wildlife as well:

There are numerous cats in the area, this one we call 'Mangey' and he's always at the cat feeding station which is looked after by local volunteers.  We've seen this guy here for the past three years, he likes to sleep away the day in the shade.

There are also lots of birds pretty much wherever you go, these ones are usually seen in pairs all around the grassy areas of the resort.  The birdsong in the morning is so nice, very relaxing to sit and drink coffee and listen to.

Today Ted is off to play tennis and then will meet the rest of the family at A-Bay where we plan to rent some watersport stuff, should be fun!
