Anybody who reads my blog regularly (I think there are about a dozen of you out there), know that I really really LOVE my tennis.
When I was a working girl, I always took a week off work for the second half of Wimbledon every year so that I could sit up all night watching the tennis.
I especially love the Grand Slams, because that's where you get to see the best of the best competing against each other.
I enjoy seeing the young ones playing in their first tournaments and then watching them improve and work their way up the rankings.
Of course I love to see the Aussies doing well in any sport, but especially in the tennis, because we have such a wonderful and successful history.
So tomorrow is the big day and our highest ranking Aussie male, Bernard Tomic (who was actually born in Germany and moved to Australia at age 3), is playing early tomorrow against a much higher ranked player from Spain, FernandoVerdasco.
On paper, Verdasco should win, but with the home ground advantage, Tomic is set to gain 'favourite' status.
I won't get to see the match tomorrow because Adoring Husband and I are heading to Childers to check out the Reptile Park and take some photos.
They have snakes, crocodiles, lizards and frogs with shows and guided tours throughout the day. I'm looking forward to it and hoping to get some good shots to share on here.
This morning I got a few bird shots, but it was quite difficult because there were light showers every so often, which meant packing my camera away to keep it safe from dampness.

Sleep time for me now. I am yawning uncontrollably!
Nite all.
