On leave for a while...

It's a beautiful still, sunny morning here.
 After a night of strong winds and rain - we're enjoying this lovely start to what will be a great day.

As I type it's 8.29 am Friday and we've got a while to wait until the bus pulls in at the Post Office this afternoon.
Aboard the bus will be one of our dear loved ones, who is coming to stay for a while - yay!  Grandparental opportunities to care for and spoil to bits will abound.

Further on in the month, another dear heart will arrive and bring further opportunities to share our love.

Life is good to us, and it's these joys that cannot be measured in monetary terms... only in heartfull terms.

I shall be on leave from my blog for a while... and shall leave some photos below of what's been happening in our part of the world over recent weeks.

Keeping an eye on this swan couple


... from a distance of course :D)


On a real blustery day we had fun watching Pelicans excitedly catching their lunch..


...diving, elbowing (? !) and being every Pelican for him or herself.

 
We chose the cosier option... fish and chips in the car!


We went to the Hot Rod Show last month and saw this.  Ah, the good old drive-in!!  So easy to drive off with the speaker still attached - ouch!  Just saying lol :D)





We, of course, fell for this little get-up - so cute!


The owner occasionally offered chocolate biccies from the tins on the back shelf - I wasn't quick enough, so I took a photo instead ;D)


Having a 'whale of a time' painting still.  Am currently trying to do a Southern Right Whale - there have been a few sightings as they pass by heading for their breeding hangouts further up the East Coast.  I like how I've done her eye so far!!  Getting there.


Final photo - taking a liberty and sharing our neighbour's beautiful pot of Azaleas.  He says he does nothing for them, just lets them be year after year. Beautiful eh!!

I shall catch up with everyone later on and, in the meantime, enjoy each day and may life be good to you too. 
 Cheerio for now :D)
