sunrise

If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen this picture I posted earlier in the week of the sunrise. No filters, no processing, just my iPhone pointed at the sky.

It really was a stunning morning.

east coast retreat (sunday selections)

I'm linking up with River for Sunday Selections today with some photos of our recent getaway.

We went away for a few days to the East Coast of Tasmania. It's not an area I know well, though I have visited parts of the coast previously and I have vague memories of going to some of the north-east towns as a child.

We had a very quiet time in a beachside town called Beaumaris, which is between St Helens and Scamander. We stayed in a fabulous self-contained house that allowed pets, so Sleepydog was able to come with us.

Juniordwarf was delighted by the choice of beds (two double bedrooms and a kids room with a bunk) and the fact that the "play room" had a TV and a DVD player.

We deliberately didn't plan to do anything, just to get away and relax. The weather wasn't the greatest for a coastal holiday, but I like the coast on misty wet days, so I didn't mind too much.

I won't say much more other than I don't think I ever needed a break more than I did before we went away.

The house we stayed at.

Juniordwarf wanted to build a sandcastle.

Construction (mostly by Slabs) complete.

Moody closeup of the sandcastle.

I wanted to get some sunrise photos. 

Not very spectacular when the sky is overcast.

We went to Pyengana Dairy to taste some cheese.

This is really pretty countryside around Pyengana, just inland from St Helens.

St Columba Falls near Pyengana. Stunning. Breathtaking.

You can see the top of the falls from the road.

Juniordwarf attacked by a freak wave at Binalong Bay (this was very funny).

P365 - Day 321 - sunrise

Juniordwarf and I stayed with Aunty Lil Sis and Uncle Mr Tall last night.

Even though we didn't have to be up early, my body clock decided not to let me sleep in. Not cool, as I was very tired from getting over this cold/flu/virus or whatever it is that's been making me feel terrible for the last week and from yesterday's long road trip.

But at least I got to see a very pretty sunrise. It's nice to see the sun rise from somewhere different once in a while.
