"I took that one for you" says Master J (17) as I marvel at it's beauty. Master J has had the last two and a half days away on a Duke of Edinburgh hike with a small group from his school. He took this photo early this morning, they had camped by a coastal lake last night. I was impressed, and touched.

Identical minor edits only, no cropping or straightening - he has a good eye!
Then they headed off for another hard day of walking where no tracks existed.
His last photo, taken early this morning before he packed up camp, a wallaby overlooking the lake.
He came home exhausted, with multiple scratches on his legs, in need of a shower, clean clothes and home cooked food but very satisfied. He hopes to join their next camping trip sometime after winter.

Wonderful photos Master J - very well done. They convey the whole atmosphere of the trip. The wallaby by the lake being a fitting climax.
ReplyDeleteHe has learnt your talent Karen, for taking timed photos with those wonderful sunrises.
The Duke of Edinburgh award is a great thing for young people to do.

ReplyDeleteI had to agree with everyone - Master J has done a fine job on these photos. They are very pretty and the scenery is awesome. I feel like I am experiencing Austrailia without even being there. Thanks to you and Master J!
ReplyDeleteLove the first bush. Such a sunset serie is also a good idea.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,

No doubt he has inherited your photography skills! What a beautiful job on all the photos. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat sequence of the sun setting. Loved it, that's a very original way of showing the sunset.

Master J took very beautiful sunrise photographs! Bravo, Master J! And how fun! I bet he really enjoyed himself. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully thoughtful son. And wow, he has talent!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. What an adventure. Being in America, I can't imagine seeing a wallabe out and about. Then again, my son had German roommates who were amazed by an armadillo. :)
ReplyDeleteOne word...jealous!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat series and love the last photo!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeletewonderful pics! love the colors of sunset :)
ReplyDeleteI really like those sunset shots... excellent!

ReplyDeleteHe indeed did such an amazing job with the camera! Excellent shots!
ReplyDeleteWonderful series! The sunrise is gorgeous and I love the wallaby near the water. Looks like a beautiful spot for camping. Great captures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip for Master J....looks like he got a lot out of it! How lovely to see a wallaby on the bank! So different from a wild creature we might see! And Master J is quite the photographer! A chip off the old block! I know you are proud!
