Snapshots of Us - Weeks 48 & 49

Oh hi there!

Since last we met there has been lots of snorkelling

 After we left Cape Range, we headed to Coral Bay.

It was ridiculously windy and rather chilly so there was also a lot of time spent out of the water. We are tropical wimps like that

 A certain little girl was particularly pleased to find a piece of coral in the shape of a 'T'

Though it wasn't all about long beach walks.

We may have snuck into the other van park so the kids could have a jump on the pillow. This was we had lunch at the pub where Mr Awesome introduced the girls to the yip yip martians. They were hysterically mesmerised. If you had a deprived childhood and have no idea  what I am talking about check out a clip here.

After we had seen the sights of Coral Bay we headed to a little station called Warroora. Where we had an entire beach all to ourselves.

Again it was a little too cold and windy for a lot of swimming, but there was a lot of fishing done.

And quite successfully as well I might add. We ate fresh fish every day we were there.

There was also lots free playing fun time for the girls with cuddles thrown in for good measure.

From Warroora we headed to the delightful Shark Bay.

Where we were once again greeted with beautiful beaches and lots of selfies.

There were also these little things called stromatolites, but they really deserve a post of their own.  

We also stopped into the Ocean Park Marine Park,

the girls were pretty entranced but again it deserves a post all of it's own. All in good time I guess.

 There were also a few more meals and drinks out on account of it being to windy to cook on the gas barbie. Oh the hardships right?

Wordless Wednesday - Birds

Last Wednesday I was going to share some photos of a few of the birds I have encountered on #ouradventureofalifetime only I decided to go with flowers instead. So guess what you get today?

This little fellow was spotted on the De Grey River. I had to careful zoom in between some branches. Hence the frames on the corner

This black swan was also on the De Grey River. Seeing it made my day. I love black swans

Hence why there is another photo of one.

Kookaburras are also on my favourite bird list.

This red capped robin was seen at our campsite at Karijini National Park. He was pretty much the only bird we saw there.

And a few galahs for good luck

Flowers for Miss Cinders

If you are anything like me you have probably had a Facebook friend or two share a post of a photo of a flower. The general gist is that they want to fill Facebook feeds with beautiful blooms rather than the too frequent doom and gloom.

One of my dear friends, who also happens to be the super cool blogger known as Miss Cinders did this just the other day. 

Never one to be an over achiever when an easy opportunity presents I thought I would take it one step further and do a post full of beautiful flowers I have come across lately.

Snapshots of Us - Weeks 41 & 42

It wasn't a conscious move. Or planned in anyway. It is just the way things seemed to have panned out. Snapshots of Us seems to have moved to a fortnightly instalment.

Selfie time.

Though this fortnight we are a little on the light side of images to share on account of this.

Poor old Patty had to go to the mechanic and it took forever (well a week) for him to come back.

Thankfully though before he went off we got the chance to go up to Dampier and say hi to Red Dog. Or at least Red Dog's statue.

While Mr Awesome made the most of watching the NRL grand final I took the opportunity to go for a bit of a run. Or at least that was the plan. In the end I clamber up to the top of Stove Hill which while left me feeling rather awesome didn't not involve too much running till the way down.

Other than that we have pretty much just been lazing around hanging out with the birds. Some of which are visitors

and one of which is part of the family
