The Moon and its Tide



With the heat this last week, being unwell and then having guests over new year, I've not really been out of the house much, so I headed out for an evening of photos. It was too wet for me to drive to the creek so I had to walk/ trudge through mud a few km to get out there but I was pleased that I did because I got a few nice photos along the way. 


You can just see the spec of my ute in this photo to the bottom left of the moon. 






This water is all from the salt water tide that broke the banks and flooded the paddock. 






The roar of it really surprised me. So much water!




This is a drone video that I took of our tide from a couple of months ago when we had the super moon. It probably doesn't show the tide's ferociousness very well because I'm a bit too scared to get my drone too close. But you get the idea. I really needed to be in a narrower part of the creek, so you could appreciate the initial wave a bit better.  



My cousin and my sister-inlaw and I have decided to do a 52 week photo challenge and week one was self portrait. Now in keeping with my new years resolution of being kinder to myself, my body image is something I've always struggled with and numerous scars from various surgeries hasn't helped. Now believe me when I say that I'm no exhibitionist (despite rumors you may hear about me mooning people at a recent birthday celebration) but I decided to do a 'nude' shoot, I figured if the college vet students could do it tastefully then so could I. 


Believe me when I say it wasn't something that was easy to do, but eventually I just had a laugh at myself and did it and it was a lot of fun. 

Here are a couple of songs that I forgot to mention last week that go well with my new years resolution, both by Kasey Musgraves Follow your Arrow and Biscuits.


Got to love how the hose can keep him occupied for ages, it's my latest trick for keeping the gremlin busy while I unpack groceries.


What songs are you listening to? How are your resolutions going?
