Weekly Winners: 9 August - 16 August

weekly_winners
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
Waiting for waves

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!

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

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 ;)

Abandoned bucket

photohuntersbz9
We came back today from our holiday in Shelly Beach, on the Kwazulu Natal south coast.  It's not the best time of the year to go there  ito weather, but it was a good break. 
I've taken SOOOO many photos that I don't actually know where to start.  In fact, I think I'll post some every day for the next week. Hopefully one or two of them are going to be good enough for Camera Club this coming Wednesday night. 
I thought this one covered this week's photohunt quite nicely.  The theme is colourful, and the colours of the bucket that the kids were playing with really stands out against the colours of the beach and the sea.
