We've arrived ...

Now isn’t that a purty sight? Another happy accident with the camera … you guys will begin to think I have started celebrating Christmas early with a glass of wine in each hand, lol! We drove over to a house that had won the Christmas lights competition in our area, and found a wonderful display of colour and movement, and lots of excited happy kids. We had a good look, and just as we were about to leave, I stood on the other side of the street, slowly panned across the house, and moved the camera up and down at the same time. I thought it was a pretty cool effect … did you notice that Santa snuck in, at the top left of the image. DS isn’t impressed … he thinks it is out of focus, but we agreed to disagree. So long as I am happy … he says! He is a scream, he inherits his artistic feeling from his father, lol!
We have escaped city life for a few days and made our way down the coast where we are enjoying the beach life. Of course, there is no surf and no surfboard today. Hopefully the surf will arrive on Christmas morning (what do you mean, we can’t order surf, like take-away???), along with the surfboard that is still on its way. Later … we’ve been down to the pool, and beach, and it’s blowing a gale. DH says, ‘Think of it as exfoliation!’ but I’m not sure I want EVERYTHING exfoliated at the same time, lol! I’ve lasted down there just long enough to get a couple of photos, then head back to the quiet, air-conditioned unit. And guess what the best part is? I have the key, and they can’t get in till they ask nicely through the intercom. *insert evil laugh here* More next time ...
