SATURDAY CRITTERS

I photographed these at the Cairns Festive one evening.  The first one is a Whale which at present is stationary however later on we saw it moving. Then we have a Dragon.   The fish are part of a steel sculpture that are erected right in the lagoon near the Esplanade.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for WeekendReflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is N and Neat. At the Cairns Festival, there was a NEAT firework display at NIGHT organised from a barge in the bay and these people were NEAREST to the display.  This is my STREET PHOTOGRAPHY.  The final two shots are two different roads at Botanica Lifestyle Resort and the gardens keep all our front gardens very NEAT.  Our cars are to be kept in our garage and when on these roads we only do 10 miles per km so very safe.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for WeekendReflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is M and Multiple.  In Botanica House there is always a jigsaw being worked on by quite a number of residents. Each jigsaw has MULTIPLE pieces and this one is under construction at present.  There are MULTIPLE boxes of jigsaws in this cupboard.

This final photograph is of a child on a MAN’S shoulders watching the Cairns Festival Parade.

I am linking it to James’s STREET PHOTOGRAPHY meme.
