Well, Easter has come and gone,
and I hope you all had a blessed and special time.
We two cardinals flew off to a beach for three days...
Do you love the smell of the salt sea air?
the passing boats...and lifeguards?
the gentle roar of the surf...?
the rock pools..
The fish...

We dined on fish and chips, and lovely Queensland grilled barramundi..

It is possible I had a slice of cherry pie..
My Easter bonnet, er, sun hat.
Our view was gorgeous...
and when we came home, the first pansies of the Autumn have bloomed..
Sunshine is gentle again, and the plants love it.
Our roses are covered in buds after the recent rains.
Life is good.
What did you do over the Easter weekend?

I recognise that beach... it was a lovely weekend and perfect for the beach. How beautiful and warm is it still.
ReplyDeleteAt last we can enjoy the sunshine, without being overwhelmed by the heat! Yes, perfect beach weekend.
DeleteHello Patricia,
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful escape to the beach. Your images capture the sunshine and I can smell the salt air. And that pie is very tempting.

Hello Helen, it was a perfect escape - I love the Autumn sunshine. I need to learn to make my own cherry pies.. x
DeleteThanks for taking us along, Trish! Love seeing your beautiful country! Was it a delicious piece of cherry pie? Sometimes a hit or miss in my experience. It must be a hard one to balance the sweet and tartiness.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the beach,
Debbie
Oops, you're back home!
DeleteYes, short trip, back home quickly, but it is nice to have a break. Cherry pie is not something I grew up with in Australia, but it has started to appear around the cafes now. I need to try more, just to check out the sweet/tart combinations :)
DeleteWhat a fabulous way to spend Easter....at the beach!
ReplyDeleteDo I like the beach? Well....YES....I sure do!
Cheers Patricia!
Oh yes, you even have your own beach, Lucky Linda. And I love to see you photos of it. cheers, P.
DeleteYes I love the sounds and smells of the ocean...recharges the being. Sweet pansies.....a lovely welcome home x
ReplyDeleteRecharging, the perfect description. That is what we did! Love the sound of the ocean at night, so soothing. Pansy time is always a treat round here. x
DeleteThat cherry pie looks soooo good, Patricia. You and Jess both enjoyed the beach at Easter time. You know, I have that same pink sea shell in the first picture. I've had it since I was little. Your yellow Easter hat is delightful.
ReplyDeleteYes, life is good, my dear.
love, ~Sheri
Love my pink shell too - I've had it for many years, and they always look good. Yellow hat says Hi Sheri!
DeleteIt looks like a lovely and relaxing break for you. And perfect weather as well.
ReplyDeleteWeather was indeed perfect - I hope you had a pleasant Easter weekend too Sarah Liz.
DeleteOh wow Trish! Looks like it was a perfect beach retreat. ;) I just wanted to jump in every photo!! There is nothing more therapeutic than the sound of waves, is there? I love the works of art too. Looked like a really cool place. And I really loved your sunshiny "Easter bonnet" Lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Lovie!
Totally therapeutic Carrie. A few days by the beach is so good for us. I was so amused by the fish art, and that a sign was needed to keep people behaving themselves. Yellow hats are so Queensland - can't imagine taking it to a snowy climate.
DeleteI want to go to the beach now! What a wonderful spot with all the rocky crags. Glad you were able to relax and enjoy the sunshine & surf :)
