Kristy and I went over to North Stradbroke Island for the Australia Day weekend. Apparently it was a babymoon.

Just the 2 of us. Oh, the 2 of us, plus the march flies, plus the blue bottles, plus the sharks, plus the other tourists, plus the atrocious service at the hotel restaurant, plus the staff that obviously hate serving holiday-makers despite them being their primary income.

But seriously, it was a great weekend away. We did have fantastic weather, and it really is a great place to visit. So close to home, yet I've only been there a handful of times.

Got out to do some bushwalking and took some landscapes. Thought I'd share.

This was my pick of the bunch of photos I took. Like the colours and textures.

I liked the way the odd-looking tree here kind of framed the shot with it's silhouette.

Time again to post some of my recent photos. I really should try to do this more often.

Kristy has been feeling the kicking for a couple of weeks now, but when I put my hand on her tummy I haven't been able to notice anything.

Last night I actually felt it kick. I am surprised at how emotional I was. No, they weren't tears - I had sand in my eyes or something.
