Queensland – Sunrise Today…

Quarantine Bay Beach

I decided to brave the steep road and walk Quarantine Bay beach. The tide was half out so we had a rocky walk as I was not willing to walk the little dog too close to the water because of crocodiles. We walked up to the rocks and back along the rocky shore This isContinue reading “Quarantine Bay Beach”

The point together with MountContinue reading “Quarantine Bay”

I move to a new apartment on Quarantine Bay Road. I have sold the caravan for less than half what I paid for it to simply get rid of it and I move to an apartment that has everything I need to be comfortable, including a beautiful garden which I simply have to admire. FinallyContinue reading “Quarantine Bay Apartment”

Sunrise Today

This morning the sunrise was beautiful. Soft colors reflecting on a silent surface, there was barely a ripple on the water. It was perfectly still, like glass with soft and muted colors.

Sunrise 17 April

I wake up every morning when the sky starts to color with the sunrise. It was early today but rich with color, so leaving the little dog snuggled up asleep in his velvet bed, I collect the camera and open the gate to the sunrise

Sunrise 16 April Endeavour River

Today the sunrise is purples and pinks. I walk down to the river and see the small jetty here and look across to Mt Cook on the right and the Jetty on the left. The river has crocodiles so I must not walk to the edge. The house on the other corner has put upContinue reading “Sunrise 16 April Endeavour River”
