Busy times here at present, but I've still been able to enjoy our great outdoors. The camera is always present for me to snap away.
15 March - My favourite coastal walk was enjoyed with my son, now returned from Austria. Thankfully he has just accepted a new position in Brisbane.
Fun and laughter with the Hungry Hikers on our Seventeen Mile Rocks, Brisbane River walk.
Nature's tranquil beauty on an early morning, local walk.
The flowering Mock Orange trees made aromatic carpets for me to walk on.
This sunrise just begged me to just sit still and be mesmerised.
The Gaiter Girls were finally four again, walking in Scribbly Gum Conservation Park.
Yesterday I was meeting the Hungry Hikers in the city at 6.30 am, for our walk along the Corso stretch of the Brisbane River. As I was totally awake at 5 am, I made the decision to leave early to watch the sun rise over the city. Dark clouds hovered, so there was little colour but it was still worth the earlier drive.
First Citycat of the day was 'Bingo' from the children's TV program, Bluey.
Our city, a wonderfully 'green' city!
Another birthday celebrated at the end of our Corso walk of 11 kilometres.
This morning I was surprised by the size of the flocks of Ibis and ducks visiting the golf course, in front of our home.
'Down Under' we are enjoying the approach of autumn and its cooler temperatures. I am reading regularly that many of you are eagerly watching for the first signs of spring, tulips being one of the first indicators. Here is our Tulip Tree!
It took some time to reorganise our outdoors after making it secure for Cyclone Alfred. Normality had returned. As I write this however, rain is once again teeming down and the outlook is for one very wet weekend. I feel quite sure that it isn't going to be a concern for us, but this low pressure system has dumped torrential rain over most of the state. For many, it has been from drought to flood. Here is a screenshot of headlines.
I would love to read your comment.
So glad your son will be working in Brisbane. Having family nearby is great news.
ReplyDeleteFrom a distance, the ibis look like sheep until one looks closer.
The early morning shots of the city are gorgeous. The light is captured beautifully. So are the tree reflection photos.
Hope you don’t get any flooding. No worry about fires for a bit.
Congratulations to your son on being back in the work force! I am mesmerized by all your photos not just the sunrise shots.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing photos of you and your friends hiking and having fun. Wonderful sunrise pics! So glad your son had a job back home!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful post, Helen, and wonderful news of your son having a job back home. Many of the photos of this post would be wonderful as wallpapers. :) My favourite would be the misty morning (number 13) but you have shown us also gorgeous trees, flowers and cityscapes...
ReplyDeleteI hope the rain will not create problems. Have a happy weekend! xx
I love the photos from your coastal walk. And wow, that sunrise!! Just beautiful.
