Bobbin Head walk

Sphinx Walking Track, Cowan Creek, Bobbin Head, Apple Tree Bay and Mt Kuring-gai

On Sunday, I did another great 16 km hike with Meet Up.  It was wonderful to meet lovely Liz who would later become a leading member of our hiking gang.

 I went on a nice short walk with Craig to admire the Spring flowers.  They were beautiful.

Bobbin Head

I went to Bobbin Head today while Ally went to her craft school. I decided my photographic theme for the day would be "up close" so spent most of the day with my macro lens and extension tube. In fact, the photo below was the only non close up photo I took.

I loved taking these bird portraits of the birds I came across. Such beautiful expressions. Wonderful and sacred beings.

The lookout from the visitor's centre is beautiful...

Easter Friday at Bobbin Head

Bobbin Head is one of our favourite spots in Sydney for a walk and to take some snaps. The million dollar boats are always photogenic with their reflections in the Hawkesbury River. The local Kookaburra is always up for a close portrait shot, as are the multi-coloured rainbow lorikeets. The mangrove crabs are also colourful in their green or red armour - though notoriously difficult to get in focus even with good macro lenses while lying on your stomach on the boardwalk. The view from the visitor centre is stunning of the river below and the shady forrests are always restful with their generous shade. Not to mention that the local shop stocks my favoutite icecream and does great coffee. All in all, a wonderful spot for an Easter Friday ramble with Mum and Mike...
