I’m not someone who enjoys surprises. For example, no one in their right mind would ever throw me a surprise party!
I’m big on planning and preparation precisely because I don’t like surprises. This allows me to avoid what might otherwise be an unpleasant surprise yet still have my expectations confounded by something special, such as:-
I’m much enjoying these weekly challenges hosted on alternate weeks by either Amanda or Sandy because they force me to think about what’s in my photo archives and how I might re-use them.
If you’ve enjoyed this post, why not join in the fun?
Beautiful

Some great shots there. The red sky one is awesome. The beach scene: is that Mount Warning in the background?

Right. I thought it looked familiar, in which case, I was right and that is indeed Mount Warning in the background. In fact I thought the beach was looking towards Brunswick Head. The line of trees looks so familiar and I have walked that stretch of beach many times.

We spent four days there on our #adventuredownunder last year. I really liked the town’s laid back vibe.

I’ve been there many times and it certainly does have that certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ n’est-ce-pas! I know that area very well and I have walked the whole of that stretch of coast from Ballina to Brunswick (not all at once though). I have also climbed Mount Warning about 12-15 times (can’t remember exactly how many) but the last few times I couldn’t make it all the way to the top (due to a combination of asthma and age)

Same here, I am also not fond of surprises because they tend to shock me more than a pleasant surprise. Sometimes I feel, that these blue waters tempt you to dive in.
