Australia Day is tomorrow, but today is rather special...

Tomorrow is Australia Day, but today has been rather special...
There is no bushfire, smoke-laden air...
There are no gale force winds...
It is not autumn-chilled and grey on my peninsula, while other parts of Australia swelter and burn...
The sun is shining and sharing friendly warmth in a blue, blue sky...
And I can actually breathe freely...
Outside...
This morning, for the first time in many months,
I took a walk on the Dromana foreshore by the sea...
(As did many others...)

And took photos...


Nippers were lining up to learn how to surf...




Even the seagulls looked happy and relaxed in the sunshine...


The foreshore trail seemed to have a mystique that touched the soul...

I loved seeing foreshore trees gently flowering...


Finally...some cuteness overload...
