Martin and Me!

Bob and I are back home again in Arizona. We already miss Australia and our friends! It sure was a FANTASTIC holiday in the land down under. Meeting Martin felt like reuniting with a friend I've known since childhood and Ruth, Adrian and Daniel are now like family. The touring through Sydney, the hiking in Tasmania and the island excursions of The Whitsundays exceeded our expectations. What amazing adventures we had! Thank you, Martin for encouraging us to visit, helping us plan our trip and showing us such a great time. Thank you, Ruth for your hospitality & delicious homemade meals! Thank you Adrian and Daniel for the body boarding at Wander Beach and fun outing to Manly. It was the trip of a lifetime and we will cherish the memories (and the 2600 photos I took) forever.

  1. Jane - Don't envy your job of picking your favorite pic from 4,000. I know you can do it!!!

  2. Hi Karen,

    Ok, I had to add up my photos to see just how many I really did take. I took 2,609. Guess I exaggerated...but it felt like 4,000 and I still don't know how to sort through 2,609. In my defense, I was trying out a couple new lenses and using my camera on manual - so about 1/2 my photos are immediate deletes because I was trying to figure out the settings/lighting etc. :-)

  3. Loved reading about your trip meeting the awesome Martin and his family and touring Australia, and loved seeing the gorgeous pics!! Worth every single shutter click it took to get those. (Ask Bobby to tell you how many pics I've taken with the poor old Nikon...)

  4. Thanks, M. Sydney is such a beautiful and cool city. I'd like to hear more about your time there! Glad you understand about the photo taking. :-) Wish we lived closer so you could give me lessons!
