I really love Australia and there has never been a moment I would change since I have moved here.3 years ago my wife's cousin invited us to a vacation in Tasmania for our belated wedding present. Wow what an amazing and generous gift it was! I was reminded of some of the beauty I experienced growing up in Anchorage Alaska. Tasmania has many different landscapes and I wasn't able to take enough pictures while I was there.*

1.Black swanshttps://steemitimages.com/DQmWAFYz5QqFR6kxWt5Mtz93fESFkynaobprv4RizRCsQrA/IMG_20141020_154556.jpg

These gorgeous birds didn't seem very frightened as I tried to get a few poses from them. The weather was perfect that day and ducks were around the black swans as well. I reckon they wanted some bread or chips or something but I only came with my tablet so they were out of luck. I might add they didn't look hard pressed for feeds as I had never seen such handsome looking birds before.

2.Table cape lighthouse in emerald green field.

The lighthouse is in the North West Coast of Tasmania, and built on a volcanic plug that formed 13.3 million years ago in case you don't know that is a mighty long time ago.

___ # **3.My fishing spot.** ___ ![IMG_20141023_141033.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaopAz5EoURQc85AY3MLX1JcNJcQFWjf7mwLTLk5YfTJE/IMG_20141023_141033.jpg) ## What a great spot it was nice green grass to cop a seat and just fish while the day drifted away. I used a few yabbies' and even tried some bread balls the fish weren't biting that day but any day I get to spend on a day like that is a great one. A nice cool shade tree and a cold drink with my trusty fish pole and I am a happy camper. ___ # 4.The amazing blue color of the sea. ___ ![IMG_20141016_143116.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV6GERfqpMxJSrAacychH4GUSJGnwSh9s73eoiXLzrYBf/IMG_20141016_143116.jpg) ## This is an amazing example of how blue the water was in the Bass Strait I hadn't seen the deep blue color like that in ages. I could have just stayed there and pondered the sea for the rest of my life there. The ebbing and flow of the waves. The ripples of the surface was hypnotic to me. Sometimes I wonder why I feel so relaxed when I hear the sea waves. Do you find the ocean sounds relaxing? ___ # 5.What else but a waterfall? ___ ![IMG_20141023_115354.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVXFMkUfyA7UX86ciHy7TYdkj2riqsfySTNAE5ZzNMooB/IMG_20141023_115354.jpg) ## I saved the best for last this is the best waterfall I have ever come in contact with. I am by far not as traversed as most of my readers here at steemit however I know how this spoke to my heart and soul. ### The picture doesn't do the experience justice I would compare it to going to a grand orchestra or opera where nature is performing it's eons ago rehearsed symphony. I treasure this vacation and hope I provided distraction and a moment of memory of what an amazing and beautiful country we all live in. Remember to be human go out experience the wonders of nature the air even felt better to breathe as I stood near the falls. *Thank you for reading and enjoying my memories of Tasmania what an amazing first trip.* *The pictures were all taken by me.* *in closing I would like to farther help and give you some assistance here at steemit* ### One you will need to be social and make connections and friendships here why not join minnow support project they are all a bunch of great people that are there volunteering there time and help in blog posts as well as chatting in discord read how to join the community here https://steemit.com/minnowsunite/@hypexals-spiral/minnow-support-project-how-to An awesome group of people at teamaustralia very good posts and subjects to read about why not join and be a part of the wonderful land of Oz. https://steemit.com/teamaustralia/@choogirl/team-australia-new-recruits-update-06-10-17-and-steemit-goes-down ##### do you need some free to share pictures here for steemit damn right you do! you don't want to use copyrighted stuff so just google images and look for advanced search in the settings and around the bottom there will be a usage rights drop down box select free to use and share even commercially. example here https://www.google.com.au/search?as_st=y&tbm=isch&hl=en&as_q=cats&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&cr=&as_sitesearch=&safe=images&tbs=sur:fc ##### when you first start out you may be lost as to how to curate well my tip is just use steam voter here https://steemvoter.com or ShadowBot read here https://shadowbot.us/shadowbot/faq.php # Thank you for all the comments they help me learn to create better content.
