Pub Crawl

Standing on the pier, we had to take this art shot of the pair of our shadows on the water. It was at this point, staring at the water that we knew we would have to quickly progress up Sunshine Coast highway to our wildlife destination, the Grasshopper!

Madeira Park

A trip up the coast to Madeira Park (and the Grasshopper Pub of course) was on the cards for a beautiful spring day. It was still slightly on the cold side but blue skies, sunshine and activity around the marina gives the pair of us the impression that winter may in fact be over.

Trapped

There is so much light now, over twelve hours a day, looks like we will have to start that gardening thing again (Karen has already started) although I still find myself fused to the couch, unable to escape the incredible gravity of sponge, wood and fabric....

Not a Sandwich

Apologies, but I appear to put a photo like this up every year, here are the North Shore Mountains in their glory today from Marine Drive, I was going to take a picture of our sandwiches at the Black Bean Coffee shop, but instead I decided that the view out of the window was a better one.

Friendly Follower

As we walked down towards Marine Drive, a friendly follower tagged along, carefully dodging oncoming traffic, wary of the roads, a seasoned traveller if ever we saw one.

Spring!

The flowers have been around for a few weeks already yet the weather has not been "Springish" at all. That changed today on our extended walk, blue skies, sunshine and the bees were out, doing whatever they do.
