On Our Walks
A while back there was a lovely thread of sunrises that the early risers among us posted. I loved it, so I thought I'd broaden it to a thread for all the lovely sights we see as we do our slow stagger...

Stay safe, @kezmusc - we had a big scare on Thurs .... and currently have towns around us on fire. :(
We had 3 fires within 1.5k of us.
This fire was a few streets behind our place on Thurs - far enough not to impact us, but we have a big native reserve between the fire & us (right on our fenceline) that hasn't had backburning/slashing in the 20 years we've been here. So we were really concerned & had bags packed, just in case.
This one was in the National Park in front & across from us - it was bombed with fire retardent and then water
This one to the left of us ....
We played a gig here on Mon - my car was parked where these cars are. A Nursing home. They were OK and weren't evacuated. The actual fire was about 2 blocks away - but still VERY scary.
This photo deserves an award, I reckon, taken by a local.
A uke buddy has gone up to the Nymboida today where their holiday shack it (lucky to get thru with the Highway closures) - luckily it is OK but the bush burnt up to their fenceline.
Take care everyone xx If in doubt - get out!
