365 Days In Nature - Day 173 "Sky View"

First Theme Saturday - "Sky View"

We're ridiculously lucky to have my husband's parents living at the Sunshine Coast, and my parents living at a farm (where I grew up). Both beautiful places for taking photos. Today we're at the coast until lunchtime, then we're off to the farm this afternoon. Here's the "Sky View" from the coast. A beautiful crisp, clear, blue winter sky!  I may be cheeky and sneak in another "Sky View" from the farm this afternoon!!

And my cheeky second photo for the day..."Sky View" from the farm.

A Grey, Wet & Windy Winter's Day at Caloundra

To be honest, this is my favourite kind of weather!

I do not like to be out in the sun.

But I love a cool, grey, windy day by the water.

A Walk Around the Block at Pelican Waters

Today my husband and I got a rare opportunity to go for a little stroll together...sans children!

Their Grandma took them for a bike/scotter ride so we escaped as well.

I took my camera...like I have to tell you that!

And here is what I snapped...

I think this is a female or juvenile fig bird.

Bird of Paradise...how stunning are these flowers?!

Someone told me these are called Crucifix Orchids.

I don't know about you, but I see Simpsons characters in these flowers!

Beautiful bougainvillea! It's almost winter but these make it look like summer all year around!

A sweet Blue Faced Honeyeater

I spy a Crested Pigeon in the tree!

A juvenile Blue Faced Honeyeater...which is green faced.

A scrub/bush/brush turkey. What do you call them?

I was willing myself to see a stingray in the canal today...and guess what...?!

A banksia seed pod.

365 Days In Nature - Day 132

We had a lovely lunch at Pelican Waters Resort for Mother's Day today.

Right beside this pond.

Shelly Beach with My College Girls

Last weekend was our annual college girls' weekend away.

We had a house at Shelly Beach, Caloundra.

Two nights and days with bubbles, lot of talking (and laughing) and walking on the beach.

I call it SR (soul restoration).

I had a shooting buddy this time!

Day one's sunset

Only one of us was missing.
She had to stay home for a family reunion...I photoshopped her in.

I was so upset that this one set on timer turned out blurry! :(

My friend took my camera so I could be in some photos.
So here's a rare one of me!
Soul restored...
