It's showering again. Cold. Wintery. Makes one want to cook, eat, light a fire in the fireplace, sleep in, get under the doona, drink copious cups of tea, drink red wine, watch good (or not-so-good) t.v. I'm doing well on the first two! How does roast pumpin, sweet potato, onion, garlic soup with risotto floating on top sound?

It seemed hopeful of sunny weather this morning, but, no, now it's overcast and very, very blowy.
This doesn't take anything away from how gorgeous our slice of paradise on Tambourine Bay is.
It's just that maybe I won't be kayaking for another few months, until the sun warms up....

I'm not taking my camera out into this soaking rain. It's enough for me to go out in it!
Have a look at day-before-yesterday for a drier image.
(I still feel immensely grateful for this wet respite in the climate of our drought-stricken country.)

How could a yoga pose be as beautiful as these boganvillias?
I guess that's the challenge.

I'm back, with my camera resurrected! And our view of Tambourine Bay in as paradisical as ever. 3:15pm on the second shortest day of the year. We can now celebrate the return of the light, post-Soltice!

Evidence of our neighbor Trevor's tree felling on our property. This is maybe 5 % of what still needs to be done!

Have you missed me? My trusty Canon Powershot has been in for repairs. But here's a lovely photo from our bushwalk last Sunday. The mysterious, gnarly mangroves of Warraroon Reserve.....

Amazing what just 30 minutes difference makes in shooting, made more dramatic by the approaching sunset....Can you tell which one was taken later?
