Week 1












I just spent 4 days in beautiful central Queensland.
We went to an island paradise by the name of Great Keppel Island.

The water there was truly the best I have seen. I even went for a swim in the Ocean (and I am not an ocean swimmer).

The water was around the 26 degree mark (80f), and was crystal clear for miles.
This photo is a set of deck chairs on the resort that over looks the beach and you can sit there watching the sunset in balmy Queensland evening.

What a way to start!
It's an absolutely beautiful picture. The colors are just amazing.
I'm sooo jealous - I could go for a swim right about now!

Typical of the Australians not only to get in first (darn dateline) but also to evoke an image that is almost the antithesis of what the weather is about here in Blighty! Wonderful shot.

You are sooo lucky :) Not only great shot but also great weather conditions.

The colors are gorgeous! I like the high contrast. Beautiful start for the year's PaD. Happy New Year!

Beautiful! Looks so warm and relaxing, which as obsidian pointed out, is the complete opposite of anything around this area. Happy New Year!

I will be interested in your photos this year (and will probably emulate a few of them) because I live in Hawaii and find beaches in every direction. Your first one is a good start. I love the red of the benches against the blue sky.

Those red chairs pop nicely... I think you will have unlimited options for 'things you find on a beach; :)
