SUNDAY

 
When one loves, one does not calculate.
St. Therese of Lisieux

On Sunday we decided to drive up to Mt Keira, a few kilometers away, to admire the view and have coffee. Unfortunately the coffee shop was closed but we did admire the view.

This is the view facing east over the city of Wollongong and across to the harbour.

The picture below shows the industrial area of Wollongong to the south.

 This is the view to the north, up towards Stanwell Park.

Looking north up the coast
Walking down the track along the edge of the mountain made me remember how much I love bushwalking, although I am a little limited by aging knees.


Look -out walk
On Sunday evening we went to church. One of the things I like about the evening service is the modern music.

Last night the band had a saxophone player, which really added to the music.

A FOGGY MOUNTAIN TRIP

 I wondered why somebody didn't do something. Then I realized that I am somebody.

Another wet day

It is raining today. Below is a picture of my back deck. It is taken through a wet window.

I love the way the trees look so green in the rain.

Raindrops on eucalyptus leaf
The plants at my front entrance look lush in the rain.

I have some sculptures hiding under the edges of my plants that daughter R made. They remind me of wizards.

 Trip along the mountain
P:-) and I needed to go to Sydney, about an hour's drive away, for some business. The pass up the mountain and along the top of the mountain was wet and foggy, but very pretty.

All in all it was a very green and grey, and wet day.
