Having now completed my new camera upgrade with the addition of a
Nikon 50mm Lens, I shot this photo of Oscar on Thursday night, then converted to black and white. I'm now really happy with my camera kit, and snapping away like crazy. Saturday 26th April was
ANZAC day, falling this year on a weekend and so no long weekend... in Queensland at least, NSW/Victoria get one...
Anyway, Oscar's school had a number of pupils attending the march and Oscar was adamant that he wanted to march to remember our fallen. We of course had to support this, so we all went off to Sandgate Saturday morning and Oscar proudly marched along.
After the march, we decided to do something I at least consider to be very "Aussie", and went to the beach for the day. We invited our friends Christopher and Caroline along for the day, and had a great time. Although we are approaching Autumn, the weather has been wonderful recently so Oscar was able to splash around in the ocean and had a great time chasing up and down the beach. We had a bbq under a tree and spent the afternoon playing beach Cricket.
All in all a fantastic day and really a reminder that those young soldiers fighting for our freedom, didn't lose their lives in vane. It's an extraordinary thing our freedom, to us it seems almost trivial but its easy to forget the costs of keeping it.
