Have been very slow at keeping up here... Here is my new friend ;-) It was raining when I went over to the beach for fish and chips one day... But it is still nice to be there.. Hope you have had a good start to the year.. And an even better week! God Bless.

 I see these lovely colors every time I go to a particular store nearby  my first crocheted rug..  pretty colors  rug number two  and another trip to the beach  what is this ugly monster doing on the beach..a water side... for the school holidays no doubt!  lovely native plant seedpods a flower about to bloom...  the local water dragon  very handsome fellow  was glad this one slipped away over the side before I got there..lucky I had my camera despite the fact that it looked very dark initially , I wonder was it a green tree snake...? couldn't bear to leave you with a nasty reptile to finish, so here is the latest gerbera in flower... Hope you have a great week... we are having some lovely much needed rain here at the moment!

  a water dragon down by the creek  another lovely camellia blooms and the planets align...I was a little late and only caught this photo of Jupiter and the moon...although I was lucky enough to see Saturn and Mars also before I ducked inside for the camera. Must have missed Mercury and Venus, or they were hiding behind the clouds on the western horizon.. Have a great week everyone, hope you are able to relax and watch some of the Olympics...

As I was sitting out in the sun one day, I happened to see a lizard. Decided to take some photos. Had no idea until the last couple, as I moved around the other side of her, that she was actually laying eggs into one of  the holes she had dug! I think she is a water dragon, and I think it seems as if the eggs take 12 weeks to hatch. I wonder how many of them will make it? I hope I didn't frighten her! Think she might be one of the lizards I saw the other day, and I think I posted some photos of the two of them then, not all that long ago. Hope you too have the time to sit and relax, and enjoy the world around you this week. And to observe something remarkable about God's creation also.
