Weekly Winners: 9 August - 16 August

I'm going to try and choose my absolutely favourite shots that I took during our holiday in Shelly Beach, and because I missed last week's WW, I'm going to show you photos from the 9th onwards.
Hope I don't overdo it, but I'm finding it very difficult to choose from the 700 odd photos that I took. LOL! If you can, please choose your top 3, because I want to submit 3 of these to Camera Club this week and I need some help choosing ;)

Watching the sea

There was a LOT of debris on the beach which was washed up a few months ago in massive storms. The beaches have still not been cleared properly but the massive logs and trees made wonderful props.

The logs made wonderful jungle gyms too!

Leaping off the log

Woohoo!

Copying my brother

Cracks in the wall

I was JUST too late for this shot, but I still like it (I managed to cut off part of his wing)

Flying from the wave

Seagull on the rocks

And of course the magnificent sunrises! It's a pleasure having small kids when you know you have noisy "alarm clocks" to wake you up in time to set up tripods on the beach to wait for the sun to some up ;)

Weekly Winners 2 Aug

I have taken photos all week, like usual, but my week was ALL about yesterday, so I'm only going to show you some that I took yesterday.

My dad, sister, brother, me and the boys flew to Cape Town yesterday for the day so that we could visit my grandparents in Hermanus. My grandad is very ill, and when my dad said he was going to see them, we all said we HAD to go too. I wanted him to meet Connor and see Bradley again.

It was a VERY long day. In a nutshell... 2 hours flight there, 1 hour drive to Hermanus, 1 1/2 hour drive back, and 2 hour flight again... with 2 kids... it was a looooong day. But the 2 1/2 hours that we spent with them was more than worth it, and in fact, long enough for him (but not for my grandmother). By the time we left we all noticed how tired he'd got. Anyhoo, here are some of the photos I took.

This is by far my favourite photo of the day. It's not the best ito photographic skills, but I love it. Connor relates to people so much faster than Bradley ever did, and he was sharing chips with my grandad (which I think meant the world to him because they had a "moment")

And here's more for you

Hermanus is the most beautiful town. It's on the coast close to Cape Town, and is known for the whales that come to the bay every year. It's not quite whale season yet but that didn't stop us walking to the cliff path to see if we could spot one (And I had to get some of the energy out of the kids before we headed off for the airport again).

The end of a long day

My only regret was that I didn't get a photo of my dad with his parents. I only thought about it last night when I was proofing the photos.
