Auroralicious!

Bee coz I...have sent off for my new passport, have been medication free for 2 weeks, it's time to get back on track!

I'm to scared to step on the scales, I'm guessing by my pants (the ones that have no give in them) that I am still around the 32-33kg loss range, the pants that I wore when I had lost 30kg are still loose around the waist! So unless its all gone on my feet, or head the damage bill may not be to bad! I want to get at least to the 37.5kg loss that I was up to by the time I go on my trip in October.

I had an awesome time in Tassie, lots of time with the family and Mother Nature put on a fabulous Aurora display for us to go capture.

My brother loaned me his camera and gave me instructions over the phone on how to use it in the pitch black! My dad helped on site and mum was the lighting director (with her book light)

The first night was fun, I got my first ever aurora photo. The second night (I had learned how to use the camera better) Mother Nature ramped it up to a whole new level and put on a fine display!

This is my best pic! It looks very different in real life, in some ways more spectacular than this as although the colours are more pastel/opaque to the naked eye the movement/dancing across the sky is breath taking!

The camera shutter is open for longer so it picks up more light/colour. It is so exciting taking the pic then waiting 30 seconds to see it in the back if the camera!

I will never forget that second night!

My brother has given me an old camera body and I have a new lens to see if I can start taking some better pic than I do with my trusty iPhone!

Well I had best be off as I need to find my runners if I'm going to shift these kilos! I will give myself a week before I venture on to the scales lol
