Back from Adelaide

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



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



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




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:


Lachlan, Hayden's cousin, loves this bag:


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.

At the markets:

Lachlan getting a bit tired and grumpy, and letting Hayden know all about it :)

Adelaide Zoo

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



Colourful mandrill showing his chompers:

Katherine and Michael's Wedding

Loved the expression, like "OMG What have I gotten myself into"! Hehe.

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.
