One of the advantages of living in Australia is the
diversity of scenery. Living near the coast I spend a lot of time these days
snapping shots of our beautiful beaches.
Since so many of those live in other countries I thought I’d
treat you to a sample of the beauty and diversity of our land, so this will be
more a pictorial blog than a word blog.
On a recent visit to Melbourne for a few days I snapped some of the interesting buildings and features of that city.
Over my time in ICFW I have met a number of writers from
different countries. It has been interesting to see shots of those other
countries or of places visited by the writers on this blog. It’s a way of broadening
our experience and knowledge without having to leave the house. That is one of things
I love about reading too, getting the chance to experience another country without
having all the hassles of plane trips and long hours getting there.

A recent trip to Bowral while it was the Tulip festival
time, here are some photos of the tulips.
Though members in this group live in different countries
there are some things we have in common. That has been one of the joys since being
here on International Christian Fiction Writers. We all have a faith in our
Lord and conveying that hope to others. For many of us that has been through Christian
fiction or at least fiction with a world view. For others it is through poetry
or devotionals. One of the other joys of belonging to a group like this has
been being able to support each other in prayer. It’s lovely when someone
shares a prayer need and we are able to play about it with them and for them.
It’s interesting too to pick up on other people’s interests
whether that is geo-caching, photography, history or whatever else it might be.
In this blog you’ve picked up a little
in my very amateur photography. I hope you have enjoyed seeing a little more of
Australia.

Beautiful photos, Dale--thank you for sharing them with us. Keep enjoying that photography! And we were down in Bowral recently too!
ReplyDeleteBowral in tulip time is magnificent.
DeleteGorgeous pics Dale. Thanks for sharing. I love water scenes and the blues down under seem so much more vivid than north of the equator.
ReplyDeleteThe blues around our coast line are stunning, Sandra.
DeleteWhat a range of building styles in Melbourne. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteAlways interesting to see other places, I think.
DeleteSome great photos, Dale. I never tire of seeing our beautiful country. And I especially like Flinders Street Station - such a great old landmark.
ReplyDeleteAgree Ian, Flinders Street station is a fantastic landmark.
DeleteLove the photos! Our daughter married an Aussie, and they live in Geelong with their four children. I've been there three times (hubby, twice) and visited Tasmania last time.
ReplyDeleteWe came through Geelong Steph and stayed a night there on our way back from The Great Ocean Road. I haven't been to Tasmania.
DeleteDale, I love your photos! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure Narelle.
