And winter arrives with glorious weather. Minimums of 9C rising to 19 and 21C. Bliss.
The Gaiter Girls met at 6.30 at Beenleigh's Doug Larsen Park. The sun was still to fully rise, but the sky of feathered clouds, reflecting on the still surface of the ponds, had me clicking furiously.

The Hungry Hikers chose a later time of 8 am, to meet at The Wheel at Southbank. I arrived early and enjoyed our lovely river and spotting the setting moon.

Our walk concluded at The Powerhouse, where the World Press Photography Exhibition 2026 was being shown. A very sobering visit as one is confronted by the most compelling photojournalism of life for so much of our 'modern' world. War, drought, wildfire, poverty, greed and climate change.
I took few photos here, but the size of the blue whale trapped in ice, to the polar bear feeding off its carcass, was staggering.

Our amazing Gaiter Girl Janice is starring as Rita in the musical Tootsie, which has just opened at Beenleigh Theatre. Saturday afternoon saw us watching this fabulous show. Janice nailed her character brilliantly.
I loved this 'cartoon' of the cold in Sydney. Thankfully, Brisbane's temperatures are always warmer.
I would love to read your comment.
Dear Helen, your photos are absolutely stunning, my friend.
ReplyDeleteOn June 20th Summer ☀️ begins here in Canada. I just pray 🙏 that it will not be too hot and humid, as these conditions are very difficult 😑 for me.
Looking at your beautiful photos makes me feel like I am taking this lovely walk myself.
Thank you so much for sharing this magnificent tour.
I am glad I brighten your day, Linda. I love snapping photos and sharing them makes it more rewarding.
DeleteSome beautiful skies!
ReplyDeleteThey were, if only we had seen them this past week.
DeleteGlad you are finally getting some dry days. Nice photos of you and your friends and brava for your actress friend Janice.
ReplyDeleteJanice is brilliant. She often entertains us as we walk.
DeleteLoads of beautiful blue for you! Look at Janice! What a treat for you to see her play Tootsie!
ReplyDeleteAlas, the blue didn't stay.
DeleteThat looks a great day a lovely walk. a visit to Southbank and a show with a friend starring.
ReplyDeleteLife is good, Andy!
DeleteCurious to see a chilly Australia. Stunning images as always. B x
ReplyDeleteThe southern states do have it very cold but not for the long months as in Europe.
DeleteIt isn't as noticeable because we don't have deciduous trees.
DeleteSorry I am so slow. I love the cloud reflections in the calm water. You and I share a love of clouds. I also love live theater. We go to Fiddler on the Roof in early August. I'm looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteI kow how it is, Linda. 'Retirement' takes up so much of our time. I keep falling behind too. You will LOVE Fiddler on the Roof!
