I told you I would tell you more about the photos from yesterday, so last week part of the reason I didn’t blog was because I took my mum down to the Great Ocean Road.
You see, my mum has seen that I go down there a lot, and have taken other people. She started getting shirty with me because she had never been there. Each year I would say I would take her, but she always came down at Christmas. That means summer and that means tons and tons of people.
I decided that what we should do is plan a trip in winter and she should come down then. We planned on a couple of days down there and that’s what we did last week.
We drove to Angelsea and started there. On the first day, we stopped at all the interesting spots on the way to Port Campbell. Then the next day we did all the touristy spots around there. On our last day we took a drive to Cape Otway on the way home.
I might do a more detailed post on this trip and similar trips in the future. Maybe help plan a trip down there. Include things like the best times to take photos and such.
Anyway here are a few photos of the trip. The beginning of many I think. Now all these photos were taken with the Tamron 11-20mm lens which has just been released for Fuifilm. It was fun trying it out.
Ah Ocean Road a favourite of mine … I bet your Mum had a lovely time!
It is a great drive along there. Yeah, I think she did, she isn’t one to show emotion much, but I am sure she liked it. Thank you Julie.
Great
Thank you.
Beautiful photos of your trip!
Thank you.
You are welcome!
😁
Beautiful scenery!
Thank you.
So great! I wish my Mom were still around so I could show her my blog and take her places! Best wishes to you both.
Thank you Phil, I am lucky, I’m sorry to hear your mum is no longer around.
Mother and daughter, sky and water!
LOvely way of putting it, thank you.
I used to go on trips with my Mum. Glad you got to do it. Lovely work.
It is a great thing to do Sherry, I hope you have some wonderful memories. Thank you.
The Great Ocean Road…my favorite place in the world
It is one of mine as well, thank you Brenda.
A beautiful coastline, your mother will be very happy now.
It is beautiful, and yeah she will be, thank you.
Hope your mum enjoyed the trip. It looks a wonderful place to go.
I think she did RJ, it can be hard to tell sometimes. It is fantastic down there. Thank you.
I’m glad that you spent some quality time with your mum, so important, Leanne! The new lens did a beautiful job for you! Very beautiful photos. ❤️🇦🇺😊
Thank you John, it was good to get away with her. We travel well together. I am pretty happy with that lens, I think it did a great job too.
You are lucky to have her. My mum passed in 2012. 😭
I am lucky, so for your loss John.
Beautiful images Leanne! Looks like you had a good time with you mum and I’m sure she appreciated it.
Thank you Anne, we did have a good time. It was lovely. I thought a lot of you guys and our trip there. Have to admit my fitness level made this trip really nice.
I know that feeling of not wanting to go anywhere during the summer. Colorado Springs becomes constipated from Memorial Day to Labor (or Labour) Day… overrun by tourists who bought cars without accelerators or turn signals. :/
Too many tourists make it so hard to get around. I hate it. Thank you Matt, good to hear you understand.
