Early Morning Fun

We took the kayaks to a lovely spot on the gulf, it was about 8am...

Redbanks beach, where the outback meets the sea  :)

 The water was flat glassy calm...

 Perfect...

 Lots of photos taken...

 A close encounter with a jelly fish....

Me...

And him...

 The railway bridge that crosses over the gulf...

 The Red Banks...

Mount Brown in the background...

 The town....

Floating around with all this expanse of water, it was just beautiful...

Being silly because you can...

Train arriving back from Cook on the Nullarbor...

And more photos, because it was so spectacular...

It is raining today, after a week of glorious Autumn weather...

Easter blessings to you all,

 The weather has been very warm to hot, but pleasant at the same time.  There is a feel of Autumn in the air, this makes me happy :D

I have been a bit time poor lately, hence my blog being a bit quiet. Summer has been a busy time this year with lots of preserving going on, and I will glad of a rest...

Do you preserve your harvest?
