Huon Pebbles

Well it’s 2011, and like the beginning of most years I take the time with my Grandparents to visit the Brookside Cherry farm in Judbury followed by a trip in the southern forests, past the old family camping grounds on the Huon River.

This trip saw us stop at the Huon River at Southwood, the bridge abutment burying what was the old camp ground, look around the lower Arve River before having Lunch at Glover’s Bluff and returning home.

This trip was different from many of the others in that for once the River was at a summer level as opposed to flood, which also meant the sun was out and the river was moving slow for the most part. This gave me the opportunity to take some photo of the rocks in the shallows that make the river. When dry, the rocks are not terribly exciting, but with the tannin-stained water of the river they take on various rich colours.

Passion

I can’t wait to try my first passionfruits from my vine, once they mature. Shouldn’t be long now. But the passionfruit it not only great to eat, but great to photograph as well, mainly due to their magnificent flowers. Inspired by one of the photos I saw at the HPS Exhibition, I acquired some step-up rings to allow me to fit the 58mm close-up filters to my 52mm dia, 50mm F1.8 lens. That a bee happened across the flower at the time was just a bonus. I am pretty happy with this picture.
