catching up around here...
good to get out with my camera again... poor old camera... always good to get across to the beach for fish and chips and a quick walk occasionally too whew, I nearly loaded way too many of these photos of the lovely rainbow lorikeet a nice day at the beach when I went over last week... the lovely Mooloolah River... plenty of people enjoying the warm winter weather here and on the way home, a shot of the banksia flowers...
Strange Bird
I am not very familiar with the bird world, especially in other environments so unfortunately I do not know what this particular bird is. Found it being very still in the bushes at the beach, the day the little grandson went to sleep on our way to look at the "beach water" name is a curlew..see my comment below...
more pre Christmas scenes from the Australian Beach
Christmas scenes in Australia are quite different to the northern hemisphere! Although it may look cold, it wasn't. It has been quite warm and sunny at times, rainy and humid at other times. But we have been mostly lucky and had fun with family. A barbecue at sunset was a great time, The last two posts have been partly for Donna at Country Days and Journeys and the little photo competition which is about pre Christmas scenes this month! No doubt there will be more to come!
concentration and having fun ...while you can...
concentrating... carefully... making time for fun and relaxation, even when you are feeling a little unwell... learning to play new notes, in a new skirt learning a new balancing trick.. and having fun at the beach while you can... the kids have had some days off their normal routines while they were just a little unwell, and this Grandma gets more fun days to be with them.. This week, I am a teeny little bit unwell, so I have enjoyed catching up with Ann Voskamp's blog Holy Experience and some of her latest links... her weekend links are always inspirational, especially the two I have read so far on some of the world's greatest libraries, and four sisters photographed every year....for 36 years...interesting..and wonderful! and On being a MOM she shared at In Courage was good too.... Thank you to Ann for being so open and honest, and inspirational... and faithful!
Psalm 148 Praising God
I was lucky enough to get to the beach with the grandchildren ... the beach was great ... the sea was a little wild for the little ones, but they had a great time nevertheless. Psalm 148: Praise the Lord from the heavens, Praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all ye heavenly hosts Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars. Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths, lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding.... Let them praise the name of the Lord for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
