THORUGH MY LENS

These are some of the fireworks photographed during the Cairns Festival recently.  I know they are nowhere near Mersad’s photographic standards however they are the best I could get with my camera.

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.

SATURDAY CRITTERS

It resembles a mix between a turkey and a dove and is notorious for its loud and rambunctious call, which starts slow but gradually grows in pitch until it reaches a fevered note. In Costa Rica, someone who talks a lot is known as a chachalaca.
