Brisbane Water Drive

Koolewong & Daleys Point from Koolewong Foreshore Reserve
(Big version)

Walked with the sun on my back. Lovely. Scarcely a breath of wind and the angle of the sun on the water made it a pale luminous blue. You can see a bit of it in this photo. The water's shown some very beautiful shades this winter and I've managed to capture a few of them.

Cycle Track along Brisbane Water foreshore at Koolewong

Part of the Fun Run route. It leaves from Woy Woy near the pub and finishes on the waterfront at Gosford. We'll be beside the water most of the way.

Grey bird on half sunk dingy at Sheather's

Cormorant or perhaps a White-faced Heron sitting on the sinking dingy at Sheather's. My bird recognition skills are very limited.

Walked an hour this morning. Training for the Woy Woy to Gosford thingy again. Every time I walk the Fun Run route I only walk an hour and every time I walk 25% further. Doesn't feel like I'm walking faster but I must be. Anyways, all is looking good for the Fun Run. I expect to have bloody sore feet after and be in dire need of a cold beer but it'll all be good clean fun.

I will indeed visit Koolewong again. Walked through it today in fact. It's a lovely spot to spend eternity. Did you grandfather choose it himself?

Juicy said...
