A day on location at Murray Falls ... A Fortunate day

We live in an amazing place....and the range of locations is amazing..

Murray Falls , less than one hours drive away is one of these great places.

For a couple like Andy and Bernie this is a world away from the

business of Syndey and their lives as professional dances....

We called it a "fortunate day" the thunder, lightening and rain stop held off  until we were done...

 

An amazing sight to see and hear..... the roar of the falls was deafening !

Mission Beach State School Concert 2010

It is always a great night.... not to be spoiled by dripping heat,

thundering rain or passing snakes....

 

 

A night of great joy, a crowd of smiles...

90 years young... A celebration...

 

It was such a joy to be invited to photograph a 90th Birthday party... It was a night filled with memories and laughter, it was a night where four generations of the Rigato family celebrated their oldest and dearest..

It was a night of love and laughter..... and it was wonderful to be a part of it 

thank you

A picture captures a tiny moment....

It will be totally great when Mission Beach has its own pool , but in the meantime the Tully pool is fabulous.... it was an amazing tropical day.... hot ,steamy and then super wet..

I love frogs...

This Eastern Dwarf Green Frog only grows to about 2.5 cm... 

and this was not fully grown....a tiny wonder to behold....

and a perfect way to avoid doing my bookkeeping..!!

 

This frog is associated with a wide variety of habitats including coastal swamps, lagoons, dams, ditches, and garden ponds in forest, heathland, wallum country and cleared farmland. The Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog lives in reeds and similar plants both near and away from the water. They often will inhabit banana trees in the Northern areas of Australia, and are sometimes shipped with the bananas throughout Australia. They are known in Australia for becoming lost frogs by turning up in fruit shops outside of their normal range.The eastern dwarf tree frog is 15-25mm long from snout to the behind. 
PS.the tadpoles are bigger than the adult frog, with a size of 30mm imagine if our babies were bigger than us !!!
