It’s Great To Be Outdoors. #SundayStills. 78/2021.
Terri here has now moved into her new abode and I will share this post soon as ‘my’ Sunday becomes Monday here. Terri is in the northern hemisphere. I do enjoy sharing and am happy to wait till Monday.
I would not have said I was an outdoorsy sort of person in my past as I enjoyed cosying up, reading and more at home.
But that has changed BIG time since I retired from teaching over 10 years ago.
I love to be outside….and enjoying the various sensory experiences as I walk, notice and take photos.
Here are some photos from my past life as a Sydney sider, and some from when we first moved to the Central Coast of NSW, doing exactly that.
Back in 2008, I has the privilege of introducing my grandson to the sand, the water and the experience of being “at the beach” at Manly N.S.W.
And here he is again, before he started school, having a ferry ride around Sydney Harbour. He is enjoying the view at Circular Quay before we started.
Then, below, I had my own solo excursion before we left Sydney for good. Making memories is very important to me.
- Love the wind and sea spray in my hair!
- Around the Opera House
- Ferry wake with Opera House and Harbour Bridge in distance
Back to early years of caring for grandchildren at Glenwood.
We had some great times with Miss R who is featured here:
- The local Park was a must most days!
- Lovely horse I showed Ms 4 back when
- A photography excursion with Miss R to Windsor.
- A grandchild tradition: before starting school, at day at this beach at Long Reef
And when we first moved to the Central Coast we even had three grandkids for short holiday. Quite tiring but memories made!
- With Papa at Pretty Beach
- Miss 2 explores
- School kids now these two.
- Exploring at Ettalong
What a privilege it was to witness this little one’s exploration of a rock pool.
And this is me now, at my happy and meditative place: the great outdoors:
And to wrap this post up, the headland in the distance is that very same place where Miss 2 discovered the rock pools, some 5 years earlier.
Do you enjoy the great outdoors?
I liked getting the chance to share about this too, thanks Terri.
