tropical photos on the horizon

[Blue Marlin]

Hi all just to let ya'll know i'm off to my 2nd home (Mauritius) tomorrow for 5 months and'll be snap-happy with the digi-cam every day so watch this space for plenty of unusual photos..

 

I love taking macro shots! here's some of the photos i took near our house last time i was out there, some macros, some not..

 

shame they are so compressed tho, i'm gutted as the originals are really sharp.. my friend has given me the server space for free as a favour but he is ever concious of my file sizes as i'm concistently on top of the bandwidth usage list out of around 300 of his clients websites on the server ahh well u'll get the gist, compressed or not... the originals are on the computer in MU so looking fwdd to getting my hands on em.. i'll try and post some much sharper versions..

 

wish me a (as they say) bon voyage.. my bus to heathrow leaves cardiff @ 10:00am tomorrow morning n i return to the UK end of July

they are parrot fish my friend! fab eh, really bright colours...

 

thats our house in the background obscured by the trees.. every day the fisherman bring the catch in and sort them out right outside our gate on the beach.. it's always an event with many villagers turning up for some bargain fish.. we usually purchase a few too and they throw em to us over the fence... i then gut & de-scale em & straight on the barbie.. cant get fresher than that.. suppose thats one thing to look fwdd to, i should be looking on the bright side really n stop worrying about trapesing round in a suit in the blazing sun... ups & downs init...
