Default A Few New Years Day Shots...

We had a lovely evening with Steve & Angela (Steves Shots & Angelb) at their home on New Years day, sharing a barbie dinner and observing the sun going down at the end of the day. These are just a few captures observed from their deck. The roses are part of Angela's beautiful garden, and the moon shot was from our back door after we returned home.
I hope you enjoy.

Pauline, your camera is making sure you have a collection of great memories that both you and you family and friends can enjoy. Your part of the world is truly stunning and I so enjoy viewing your shots. Steve and Jill have been, along with you and Dennis a great source of encouragement to me. I look forward to spending 2010 together with you all. PAUL

Wonderful set, Pauline. The overall feeling of this combination of photos is just so peaceful! I'm so glad you were able to capture such a variety of beauty in one afternoon, and even gladder that you shared it with us!

A beautiful set Pauline, and a great way to bring in the new year, with family doing what you love. TFS

Thankyou Paul. God willing my friend we will have lots of time to share our part of the world with you, and enjoy doing it. Steve & Angela are a great couple and sharing time with them is just magical. It was a awesome beginning to the New Year

Thankyou Helen. It certainly was a great afternoon/evening and in this beautiful country setting one feels totally at peace with the world.

Thankyou Michael. Family is our No. 1 love, and being able to share time together is just so important for both of us, but I have to thank Mother Nature for providing these photo shot opportunities.
