MY WORLD ~ Moonta Bay


Moonta Bay is situated on the far coast of the Yorke Peninsula
in South Australia, approximately a three and a half hour drive
from us.

When we arrived in the late afternoon, I stepped out onto our
balcony and pointed my lens at Port Hughes in the distance.


Sunset from our balcony.


Who needs the raking of a Japanese garden when nature gives
one this on the beach in the early morning?



The Moonta Bay jetty, beloved of fishermen/women,


and all lit up by the rays of the early morning sun.


I caughts nothing in the morning except for a few nice shots
but the evening saw us bagging a bucket full of crabs.

Crab and bait fish in the net.


Here's looking at you kid!


and 'as you like it', cooked to perfection on a plate.



More photos to follow on World Bird mem and SkyWatch later in the week.

With thanks to the My World Team for letting me share my delicious crabs with all of you.

MY WORLD ~ Japanese Garden


Last week I had the first really fun day out in town for ages.
Amongst other things, I had a chance to enjoy the Japanese
garden in Adelaide's South parklands.

the garden wall.

The wood duck was obviously very much at home in this pond
*

and what would a Japanese garden be without the sound of
trickling water?

Near the entrance gate stands this lovely Zodiac lantern
With carvings of all the signs around the upper part

except this cute little bunny which graces the foot of the
pedestal.
