An Island Getaway.



If you want to see the most amazing colors fill the sky at sunset, you HAVE TO go to Moreton Island in September!  We took the one hour ferry trip from HOLT St Wharf (how appropriate!) to Moreton a few weeks ago and it was a fabulous getaway for the day. We took in a whale watching tour on board a catamaran, and saw over 12 different humpback whales frolicking in the sea. It was amazing! They were quite the show-offs when they knew there was an audience watching. When we reached the shore Dave & I took a stroll on the beach and had a picnic. The sunset was unreal, the sky turned from bright, fiery oranges and reds to brilliant pinks and blues. I guess what they say is true, red sky at night, sailor’s delight! Of course I took advantage of the lighting...so many gorgeous photos, they almost looked profesh!

Nightfall signals the dolphins for a feeding frenzy! About eight wild dolphins swam into the bay and we were able to feed them right from our hands! They were actually kinda freaky...well just really big, with pointy teeth, but it was still neato to get up close and personal for sure!

 
So, needless to say, I will definitely be getting my relax on...with many more trips to Moreton Island in the near future! Its hard to believe that such a beautiful oasis is only an hour away from home! Now I can get used to that!
