Back from Adelaide

Went to Adelaide for 5 days to visit Kristy's grandmother who hasn't been able to travel to meet Hayden.

Jacob's Creek 4

Day 1: Couple of photos from Brisbane airport waiting for the plane down there.

Kristy chasing Hayden

Just liked Hayden's expression of wonder/surprise in this one:
priceless

the plane!

Day 2: Went to the Adelaide Zoo. Really enjoyed the zoo, felt really open and most of the animals were quite active, not sleeping or hiding. I've already posted a couple of photos here.

Same mandrill but different pose:
Whatchyoo lookin' at?!

Lachlan, Hayden's cousin, loves this bag:
try to keep up

Day 3: Went into Adelaide city in the morning, visited the Central Markets in the morning, then Jacob's Creek in the Barossa Valley to catch up with Kristy's grandmother and cousin for lunch.

More than a mere cat, a meerkat! I know, I'm hilarious:

M20 Trifid Nebula

This is my one and only deep sky image that I took at Astrofest. Quite happy with the way it turned out. I particularly like the dusty regions showing through.
