paradise: Father's Day

Whew, what a tittle!

We have had a couple of nights away at DSIL's cottage in Mapleton. I blogged photos taken around Mapleton back in January this year (can't seem to set up a link but it was on the 2nd if you are interest). Friday was a public holiday for the Gold Coast Show so we took off for two nights of RnR. I took NO photos while we were away. I didn't do much at all. I haven't felt well all week, very tired so I took it easy. SIL and the girls had a lot of fun in the park, wish I had sent my camera along.

Now I have blogged in the past about sunsets and the photo above was taken tonight, but I did have an opportunity for a SUNRISE photo today. SIL had to be at the station by 6am to catch the train to the international airport. I drove her down the range at 5.30am in the dark and as I was returning I ALMOST stopped off at the lookout to take some photos. Sorry but I was tired, so I kept driving and I went back to bed when I got to her place! (I did say I haven't been feeling well!) I am sorry now, though, so won't let the opportunity slip by next time.

Tomorrow is father's day here in Oz and Charlotte is very excited. ( I know the photo is very yellow, no flash and I didn't want to get caught by Russ so I didn't re-shoot). We have all of Daddy's presents prepared. Some purchased, some made at school and kindy - they are the most special. Tomorrow is all about him. Eggs for breakfast, BBQ lunch and dinner with my parents. More pictures tomorrow.
