"Street" Photography

Today was Under 7's soccer in Yandina. Master J was awesome of course, as per usual! But it was a really good, close game (we still won though of course!!). The biggest problem with Yandina soccer is the parking. They've got markets going on at the same time right next door to the soccer grounds! Sometimes you get to listen to a brass band or some bongos playing while the kids play, but no luck today. But the upside is the people watching...!! You get away with taking photos of strangers by calling it "street" or "candid" photography. Maybe even paparazzi!! lol. So anyway, there were definitely some interesting people in Yandina! :)

Red red RED hair, black nails, and "pink and green should never be seen" sunglasses. You go girl!

There were a few guys and gals like this getting around the Yandina township. Not sure what their thing against shoes were...

Ahhh, Mr JBV. AKA the family packhorse!! :)

So as not to be picking on just Yandina, I took a snap of this man with his ferocious canine back here in Noosa...

This poor pup! Not sure why this guy felt the need to muzzle him!! The pup wouldn't even walk when the guy put him down, he was dragged for a bit, before the guy picked up his ferocious beast and walked away!

Peli-CAN

Master J used to be absolutely petrified of pelicans! It all goes back to when we were fishing down the river when he was a toddler. A pelican was wondering on up towards him, and JBV started yelling and screaming and carrying on like an absolute tool- reckons the pelican was gonna eat him!! It scared the cr@p out of poor Master J! I must admit the pelican was as big as, if not bigger than Master J, but it wasn't going to EAT him! But still, it was the beginning of Master J's long struggle with his Ornithophobia. See, i can use google!! 5 years later, he's finally getting over it. Still a little cautious- but game enough to feed these guys the little bream he was catching so I could take photos!



Naturally Nambour

JBV and I had huge plans on exploring the Noosa Hinterland today, aiming for some photos up Malaney way. Our day was cut short after spotting some friends in town that we stopped and had a yarn with, followed by KFC for an early lunch/late breakfast... so Nambour is as far as we got! We weren't disappointed though! Heading up towards the Mapelton Range, we spotted loads of what looked like yellow bushes mixed in with the normal greenery on the hillsides. It wasn't until we started up the range that we realised that it was actually masses of yellow flowers! The photos really don't do it justice. And the smell!! Pew! The bees were having the time of their lives though!

Not a great photo (it was taken from a moving car!) but you can kind of see the yellowish mixed in with the greenery. Like I said, does NOT do it justice!!

And there was of course lots of other things to photograph as well!!
