Wow, I  love pictures of the sky and storm.  I can see a big storm brewing way off yonder, you are in summertime in Australia?  Did you end up getting any pictures of lightening, they are something to behold.  We went to Fiji about 6 years ago, it was in beginning of December, it was very hot and their summertime, it was so hot that at 6:00 A.M. no one could even go on the golf course, very strange to aclimatize to because we were in the throws of wintertime.  But Fiji is a wonderful place to visit.  I could never have imagined that people could ever be so friendly and be treated with such respect.  I loved snorkelling when we went on a little 3 day cruise there to islands, the water was so warm and blue.  There was many many people from Australia there at our hotel, is your climate similar to Fiji, do you know?  Great day.

Yes its only 5 min from my place. There was a storm trying to happen. I havent managed to take any decent lightning pics in 4 years. Its hard as I cant travel and have to wait for the storms to come to me.

Fiji has a tropical climate, we are sub tropical here. Melbourne is famous for having four seasons in one day. Our climate is all over the place recently. The other week it was 0 degrees C on tuesday and 7 days later it was 40c. Thats like from 35f to 102f or something.

wow, incredible, i guess it would be hard for one of us to adjust, darn...heh, only the thought you're in the middle of summer puzzles me :?, hehe

hey, what's that fence along the shore, i mean, it CAN'T be the Famous Dingo fence, lol

yeah, it's hard to catch a lightning, i tried once, maybe two times, gave up after 5 mins.

Nah its just a fence to protect whats left of the vegetation. Its only a bay beach, I would prefer a surf beach of course, but we cant have everyting.

I havent seen a shark in the bay, although Safety Beach just down the road was renamed from "Shark Bay" to get the tourists in LOL.

There is usually one or so spotted every week in summer. We have shark spotter aircraft etc. to look for them.  Mainly Bronze Whalers, Hammerheads. Great whites ususlly dont enter the bay, although whales do once or twice a year (that we see).

Cadiz is in front of Africa, the last town where you can find european civilization before jumping to Morocco from Spain. In the post "Atlas" at this photo area, you can see the African mountains (Atlas), from Europe.

TO EVERYONE:

Please keep the photos coming - It is what makes our forum extra special to have such a VAST INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCE and to see their homes, hives, landscapes, oceans, everything we get to see is an experience I can not put into words EXCEPT to say, I am so proud of you who take the time to share bits of your world with the rest of us through photos.

I agree with John.  Not all of us are fortunate to be able to travel worldwide, many of us can.  But to see pictures of what the world looks like, the different types of hives, different species of bees, eveything can take us to your world in nothing short of a moment in time.  It is great, I love the pictures too, and I look at everyone's pictures, some I am still in wonder over, like John's pecan pie!!!  3 days to pecan pie at my daughters!! LOL. Great day.  Cindi  I will be sending many more pictures too, come on everyone, get those pics downloaded and share your life worldwide to people who would love to see them!!!!

I love seeing the beach, so beautiful. This is a really great place to see all of you other bee people. I find it really interesting to read about all of the adventures and see the photos. It makes this big world seem small for a few moments and that there can be a common thread found between people.

O.k., enough of the deep thoughts. I just like the fact that I have found other folks interested in bees!
