This past weekend was a weekend filled with nasty storms. 2 of these storms were called super cells. This one was taken on Sunday heading straight for the northern suburbs of Brisbane. It brought with it hail stones the size of golf balls and even larger in some places. It was also a king tide and I must say that I have never seen the water so high around this old jetty. ps if you look closely there is a pelican at the end of the pylons. He just sat there taking it all in :)
The air was thick with smoke as I headed to Cleveland Point this particular afternoon. It was due to the terrible fires on North Stradbroke Island that were burning for over a week. The smoke in the air made for a pretty picture and I was lucky that this pelican was obliging. © 2014 Beth Wode Photography - All rights reserved
I know that this is not a sail boat but i love the quote for its inspirational message. This was taken just after a thunderstorm passed over yesterday afternoon. The sky was amazing, to the west was this and to the east were rainbows :)
Break of day over Raby Bay Harbour. What a peaceful and calm way to start a day.
I have to say its not easy getting up at 3.45am . I could have easily gone back to sleep but something was beckoning me so I made the effort to get up and this was my reward..what a beautiful way to start my day :)

Scores of jellyfish were washed up on the shoreline at Raby Bay. This image was taken between heavy showers of rain.
It was such a weird afternoon here in Brisbane last weekend. These storms rolled through unexpectedly bringing heavy rain to Brisbane and tennis ball hail to chinchilla on the Darling Downs. The skies after the storm went through were just amazing.

It was a beautiful almost balmy evening in Cleveland last night. The sunset colours were strong and beautiful due to a scrub fire that was burning towards the city somewhere.

South East Queensland has been hammered by vicious storms all weekend. This one was to the north over Caboolture and Bribie Island this afternoon. Some areas have had hail the size of golf balls. We have had no hail here in Cleveland but we have had torrential rain. My gutters couldnt cope and I woke this morning to find water in my house. Thankfully we have had no damage.

I don't usually do panoramas mainly because I never think of it so this is a little different for me. I loved this sunset and I think it looks beautiful in the panorama mode :)
This old jetty is very rapidly deteriorating but the camera still loves her :)

Wow, what a beautiful sunset last Sunday night. I was surprised that there were not more photographers taking advantage of it at Cleveland Point.

I finished work at 5pm on Friday afternoon and saw that the sunset was going to be a good one so I headed to Raby Bay which is only a 5 minute drive from work. I am so pleased that I live AND work in such a beautiful place.
It was 1 degree when I shot this - I had been in the water photographing the mangroves before I shot this - I could no longer feel my feet lol am I crazy or what?

Cleveland Point Sunset. Long exposure with a very co operative pelican who was enjoying t he view as much as I was.
Honestly the Poinciana trees this year were absolutely divine, particularly here in Cleveland. Streets were lined with these gorgeous trees and they were a sight to behold.
Why would I want to live anywhere else when I have views like this just 5 minutes from home.

It was a lovely sunset tonight so I decided to head down to Raby Bay. I was rewarded with great reflections and pretty colours.
I left work on Wednesday afternoon to be greeted by this! I raced across to the harbour to try and capture as much of this beautiful sunset as I could.

What a stunning sunrise we had through the week. I didn't have a lot of time as I had an early start at work but I quickly headed down to Cleveland and got a couple of shot before bolting home to get ready for the day ahead.

A stormy night in Brisbane last night led to me heading down to Cleveland Point. The lightning was mainly sheet lightning illuminating the sky turning night into day.
