Our Little Corner of the World...on Our Way to Singapore!!!



4 Days at sail...
on our way to Singapore!


No fog...nothing on my lens...
except moisture from the humidity hitting my lens!
Geeze...it was humid!!!
Being from sunny, dry California, I didn't know
you're supposed to warm your camera up 
before using it in the heat and humidity!!!
And purchase dehumidifier packets as soon as you get back!


So what do you do with a fogged up photo...
Edit it vintage style, of course!!!


Or for you purists out there...use the dehaze tool in LR...


The Golden hour off the ship is pretty spectacular...



Pretty nice view for 4 days, eh?


Beautiful clouds...


...and a calm sea...
makes for peaceful sailing!

Our Little Corner of the World...Visiting Darwin, Australia!



Our last stop in Australia was Darwin...
we booked an excursion on a river boat to see Crocodile!


This guy was one of the first we saw...


...he was pretty impressive!


This stately matron was guarding her nest of Crocodile eggs...
hard to tell from the photo...
but she's missing her two front legs.


This guy was pretty adamant that he was ready to snack on 
the goodies the boat was dangling...


...he kept coming back for more...


Yeah...not in any hurry to dangle my arm over the edge of the boat!


We did see some birds...


...but not being a birder of any sort...


...I'll have to defer to my blog friend Stewart
to see what's swooping down for nibbles 
of the treats the boat had for them!


This guy didn't want to accept the treats were done for the day!


After our river trip we stopped for a bite to eat.


If you noticed the floats around the swimmer, this is the area
that is protected from dangerous critters...
like the Crocs above!!!
One thing we found out while in Australia is there are
a lot of critters and bugs in Australia that can hurt or kill you...
...yep...
Aussies get the reputation of being a tough
group of people for good reason!!!  


I never did see just what this guy was "shooting"!


Heading back to the ship...

...next stop...

Singapore!
