Blue Monday

Yes Blue Monday certainly omes around quickly.  Do visit Smiling Sally to check out all the posts.

We hope to go away for a few days later in the week, and I am looking forward to taking some photos.

Here is a day river trip I took last year.  We were heading upriver towards Mt Warning, named by Captain Cook in 1770, and the first spot to receive the rays of the sun each day.  The last photo shows us alighting for lunch at a riverside pub.

Happy Blue Monday and a happy week, everyone,
Love,
Jan

Skywatch

It's Skywatch Friday again, so do visit here to see all the posts

I took some photos today, and when I downloaded I selected 'delete on completion'... but they didn't download, so back to my files.

We were in Yamba NSW in the  late afternoon to go to a concert.

 

Next shot on the other side of the headland above, about 100 yards from where the mighty Clarence enters the sea, taken from the breakwall into the setting sun.

Here's a couple of Mark Twain quotes:

I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.
Mark Twain

I can live for two months on a good compliment.

Have a great week.

Outdoors

 It was lovely to meet Crystal and Ray's family, this week, and I thought it a good opportunity for you to meet  my son and wife this week and my daughter next week.  Hope that OK with you, dear Crystal.

Enjoying the Australian Outdoors, on the most eastern point of Australia.

And at golf.

 He has two children who are in Uni and High School now.

Happy Outdoors Wednesday and a very pleasant week to you.

This is more a walking beach, my kind of beach!

Further along.

Happy Blue Monday and have a pleasant week!!

Skywatch

I'm joining SkyWatch Friday when it comes up this week. Call in there for great sky photos.

Around sunrise just north of Lennox Head. This is a dog friendly beach.

Have a very pleasant week,

Summer crowds

Here is a pic that Daphne sent me when we were chatting on Windows Live recently, it is a beach scene from her local paper in the height of the current tourist season in her home town in Argentina. 

I know when my son lived in a tourist area, the permanent population tired of all the crowds of visitors, and I'm sure it is the same for Daphne.

       Hugs,

We had a knock at the door about 8am this morning, and it was Mr T. He lives in his version of a motorhome on the road permanently, and makes his base at Texas QLD.  He sent a SMS message last night, but hubby's mobile was turned off, but it was OK, no worries.  Anyway that reminded me of my favourite sunset photo, taken near Texas QLD.

Texas QLD is a very small town about 1km north of the NSW/QLD border and named after Texas USA.  Here is a link. We usually make it through that way once or twice a year.

Do pop over and visit Susan at Outdoor Wednesday, great posts there!

Happy Outdoor Wednesday, and have a great week.
Hugs, Jan
