A NEW DAY DAWNS

5:30 in the morning and looking out my kitchen window I could see
a mist rising on the Nerang River, so went down to the Riverbank
and this is the beautiful picture that was waiting for me. I looked
everywhere and there was no movement of another person
anywhere, only birds and water birds flittering here and there,
and tweeting as they went. I pondered for a moment and realized
that I was the only person in the www (Whole Wide World)that was
acutally capturing this spectacular display at this very moment
and I said "Thank you".

WHO TOOK OUR SUN?

The Dust storm arrived and everything seemed to turn a red/brown.
Even though I quickly shut every window and door, a layer of
dust found its way into the house, and today is "bust the dust" day.

Where has our sun gone? This is how the sun looked at noon.

This is how the sun looked at 5pm - changed to a silver colour,

almost looked like the moon and the dust even looked silver - spooky..

JEWELL BUG

Grandaddy found a Jewell Bug this morning.

DAME ELISABETH MURDOCH - I love you

This is one of the most magnificent fragrant roses, and was nodding its head to me as I went out this morning, so I decided to share its beauty.

Dame Elisabeth Murdoch - you are a true inspiration.

FIRST DAY OF SPRING

I love the 1st day of Spring. Lots of folk have their birthday

on the 1st day of Spring - and I am lucky enough to be one of
them. To all of my friends wherever you may be, thank you so
much for all the phone calls and unexpected emails from across
the pond!

This is a picture of me on my 7th Birthday with my best friend
Sniggles. I could dress her up and she'd walk around with me
holding her paw, or she was happy being pushed around in the
pram - hour after hour. Then oneday the worst cenario happened -
Sniggles was bitten by a snake and died, and my world fell apart.
