The first weekend in July 09

Over the weekend I got a couple of opportunities to use my new camera. Thankfully the weather was fine and sunny for both days. On Saturday I went to Cumberland State Forest and has a wander through one of the walks and the nursery that is in the forest. In the nursery there were a few black boy trees that had just been watered. It was late in the afternoon and there was little light. Here is one the the photos:


Then on Sunday, I went to the lake in Norwest Business Park. It is a nice place there, and with the sun out, it made for a lovely afternoon. There was a guy who builds remote control power boats and he was running them around on the lake. They were rather noisy, but they were very fast and handled like they were on rails, turning sharply. I had a chat to the guy after he has crashed one of the boats into the wall on the edge of the lake (fortunately no major damage was done), and he was saying that the plain white boat was capable of speeds upto 80km/h. Here are a couple of photos I took:
