A visit to the Australian War Memorial shows soliders on parade at the Pool of Reflection
Looking across Lake Burley Griffin to Old Parliament House in the foreground with New Parliament House behind. On the LHS is the High Court of Australia and on the RHS is the National Library.
A closer look at those blossom trees along the promenade of the lake with the Carillion off to the left.
A visit to the Botanical Gardens felt more like a walk in the rainforest in Far North Queensland. The vegetation for a cold climate area was a real surprise.
On the way home we detoured via Bowral for a quick tip toe through the tulips.
After a day a or two at home catching up on the "domestics" we took ourselves off to the city to enjoy the annual spring flower display at David Jones Elizabeth store
The next day found us wandering around the Blue Mountains enjoying the spring blossoms in country lanes
And on a clear day you can see forever.
Only an hour across the Harbour Bridge heading south we found ourselves heading for a day at Botany Bay. Looking at the colour of the sand and the water we could have been on a tropical island.
I did manage to do a bit of stash building.
I also found time to get some sewing in but more on that later as it is "secret squirrel" stuff.
Well all good things must come to an end and it is back to work for me next week.
