Some of the folks who were at Heron Island posted their pictures on this site: http://www.flickr.com/groups/775007@N20/
There are some really great underwater ones (that show what it was actually like underwater, compared to my puny, cloudy shots).

Parking spot project is almost done! (& Garden)
This year's garden features three kinds of tomato, yellow squash, and zucchini. The other third of the garden is the same strawberry from the first year which just keeps growing and growing. Eventually it is going to be a strawberry raised garden bed. Yum!
Today it is 94, yesterday my car said it was 96. This is our second hot weekend this year, and I am loving it.
I went and got one more load of dirt from Joe today (the third). He helped me load it up, then I unloaded it. It looks like I really could take the rest of the dirt (a fourth load), but I think I'm going to quit. Hopefully this week I will get a load of gravel and then the third parking spot will be finished.

Odin's 9th Birthday Party
Odin's best friends in the whole world showed up for his 9th birthday party, hosted by Kevin in Seattle. We ended up with really nice weather: no rain, nice temperature, and even some spots of sun. Odin made a lot of new friends just hanging out in the park, and even Stampy was well behaved on Odin's special day. Sam and Patti got Odin some really cool new toys which are now in high demand at home. Odin says thank you to everyone who came!

Underwater - Last three photos from me
Me & Dad snorkeling with Heron Island behind us.
A washed out "typical" complex reef teeming with life.
A sea turtle from up high.
Underwater camera: Rays
My underwater pictures didn't come out very good.
This is at least 27 rays in a pod (?). I think they were whip-tail rays.
And the shark looking thing is actually a shovel-nosed ray.
Brisbane sights
The climbing rock (Kangaroo Point) from our hotel room, and the Mt. Coot-tha Botanic Gardens dome.
Reef
Dad is holding a type of sea cucumber that has a very weird life history, which involves the use of the word "bum" multiple times. And just one little piece of coral teeming with life.
Heron Island: Reef Walking & Starfish
The water is so clear this is with my regular camera. You could walk all the way to the edge of the reef at low tide and look back at the island.
