    1. Our home is in a wonderful position to fully enjoy dawn and sunset. Sometimes I just need to get up earlier. I doubt you are out and about with your very low temperatures at the moment.

  6. Fabulous sunrises and sunsets, Helen! All the year looks so lush and colourful.
    I wouldn't be able to pick a favourite but I must say the Coolangatta Beach looks amazing.
    Thank you for your comments today... and for the tip! The books by Janine Marsh sound delightful. Who wouldn't dream of a rural life in France? :)
    Stay safe and well! Happy 2022! 🥂✨🤗

  7. No snow on the ground here Sara! Coolangatta Beach is always perfec for either sunrise or sunset.
    I am glad I shared the book with you. On reading this book, my dreams of a life in rural France have been reignited. Very much only a dream! My neighbour is going to make Cassoulet for us.

  8. You can't go wrong with sunrises and sunsets, in my opinion! What beautiful images! Isn't it interesting how every day - really, every moment - is different? I, too, feel blessed to experience the beauty at sunrise and sunset! Thanks for sharing!

    1. So true, Kim.
      Yesterday I was very late with my ironing and as a result did not witness the molten colours of the sunset. Friends sent me photos, surprised that I had not done so first.
