JANUARY 2018

Sorry - a bit late, but we were away for a week.

Had a return trip to the Boer War memorial.  They are really life like and well done.

 Jan 1 supermoon - that cloud-bank finally overtook the moon, and it did not reappear until quite late.

Super Moon rising over Lake Ginninderra

 Both dogs enjoy being out in the boat - Esme keeps a bone there :)

Passing cyclist - panning practise

Flowers on my morning walk

More flowers - these grow in marshy conditions

More panning - Esme at speed - everything is moving :)

Waiting patiently for 'The Boss' - he'd gone fishing - Pepper with her poor paw

The Super Blue Blood moon of January 31 was a non-event for me.  Heavy cloud cover hid the moon until well after midnight.

Jan 31 Supermoon - it disappeared behind the clouds before the eclipse
