Day 309/366

Life has been so busy lately.

How lovely it was today, to be able to pack a picnic lunch, drive into one of our national parks and spend a leisurely afternoon with extended family.

The plan was bring your own everything and I took along a yummy meatloaf and salad for lunch.

The meatloaf proved quite popular not only with the humans but with the kookaburras too.  They took the opportunity to help themselves when no one was watching.

I swear that a pair of kookaburras kept watch over us the entire time we picnicked.

Besides being opportunists, kookaburras know how to laugh at life.

Perhaps we humans could learn a lesson or two from their habits, not only about laughter but the value of family, for it's very rare to ever see a solitary kookaburra.  

Day 226/366

Because of the wet, unsettled weather, we decided that today would be a good day to head into the hinterland of Byron Bay.

I could have posted a photo of the waterfall at Minyon Falls, or the Kookaburras that begged and begged for food.  I could have posted pictures of the ripening coffee beans that grow around Rosebank.

I could even have posted a photograph of the line of traffic that we got stuck in as we approached Lismore.

But instead, my 'thing' for doors pulled me towards this photograph.

I found it at Nightcap National Park, Rummery Park camp ground.

The building is now disused. I love the colours, the lines and the different textures in such a small area.
