Easter Saturday parkrun

It was a beautiful morning at the Easter Saturday Jeune Park parkrun. That run (or walk) is stunning year-round and I look forward to the weather cooling off a bit as we head towards winter.

Spectacular views

Here is one of many spectacular views from along the Stockyard Creek Track, which I walked recently as part of O’Reilly’s centenary celebrations. We live in a beautiful part of the world.

4.56am

Who else is loving the crispness of the autumn mornings? It doesn’t take long for the heat to set in, but it certainly felt fresh when I took this picture on the corner of Tubber Street and Brisbane Street at 4.56am on a particularly early morning walk recently.

What Susie Saw – the magic of summer

You can’t help but appreciate the scent of frangipani flowers on a balmy Beaudesert morning. To me the smell represents summer, like rain on freshly mowed grass or a sun ripened mango plucked straight from a backyard tree.

What Susie Saw – Hope

THERE is power in hope, no matter how tough times get. My Christmas wish for all of us is that we hang on to hope all year round, especially when life throws its inevitable curve balls our way.

What Susie Saw – Colours of spring

Here is an explosion of springtime colour in Beaudesert. I love how the bougainvillea outside Beaudesert Caravan Park looks so vibrant against the iconic purple jacarandas in bloom outside Beaudesert Showgrounds.

What Susie Saw – bushwalking

Here is a moment from a family walk around Barney View. I often crave times like these, particularly amid life’s juggles. I’m sure anyone who loves a bit of fresh air and sunshine will be able to relate.
