We was on the way to Milkshake Hills Forest reserve yesterday and decided to call in and have a look at Trowutta Arch on the way.
Wasn't going to as we had planned to do it next month when the Fungi are usually at their best.
Boy was I glad we stopped, the weather was kind.the sun was in the right position and put on a show just for us.
Only thing missing was the Dinosaurs.
Not being a photographer it's hard sometimes to portray the same feeling in pictures so I hope you enjoy these.

- No, Nicki is not skiing, just holding my pole. It helps put the size into perspective.

Haha, thanks both of you.
I didn't mean I don't take pics, LoL. I take too many, just have to see how long it takes us to go somewhere as opposed to others
.
I just hope what I see turns out when I get home and let me assure you that many times it doesn't.
There are a lot more people on this forum much more proficient than I and in many cases I wish I had half their skills.
Always said it would be smart to do a course but I never seem to have the time to fit it in so I guess we'll just keep on taking one step after the other and taking happy snaps along the way.
Glad you enjoyed them, I enjoy taking them.
Cheers
Davo

Hope you get the same light as we did, it really did look special that morning, like someone put a spotlight on it just for us, still get a funny feeling thinking about it.
