Last day of the year, and I've mopped the floorboards, weeded a little in the garden and washed and dried the bedding outside. While making up the bed, this arrangement caught my eye.

 

A vegan Xmas table

Fresh Fruit Trifle, Roast Nut Loaf, Roast Vegetables and a salad.  

Camilles creative Vegan Cheese Tree was the stand out.

Xmas Eve views

 

Western port bay exploring
 

 A day of sunshine finally, and a trip to Western Port Bay. Mangroves, the mighty carbon sequesters, abundant and mysterious. 

The dry mud along these shorelines creates some interesting texture and pattern.

 rain rain....here it comes and there it goes, all day long.

A very wet Spring.

Nook having an afternoon nap after playtime with Cosette.

Hard life being a cat.

 

Pluviophile - 

A person who finds peace and joy on rainy days.

Found at Olinda, I will drink Tea today.

 Lots of inspiration to be found in the hills today. 

The Olinda Botanical Gardens and Nursery were a delight. 

Numerous birds were sighted among the nectar-rich native foliage and wholesome natural displays arranged in the community meeting rooms.

Beautiful shops to admire from a distance, being mindful of the budget.

I came home with these business cards, however.

 

 Today.

I was attracted to the bubbly surface of Edwins' plant-based yogurt.

Also, I thought I had better capture the roses before they disappear. 

A quiet Nup to the Cup afternoon and evening.
