To Infinity And Beyond (Atlantic version).
Pacific versions here and here.
I have found GPS can send me down interesting routes at times. Sometimes these routes necessitate a turn around and are of no interest or scenic beauty.
These directions, provided by Waze, we were actually grateful for. The views were beautiful, out in the middle of the Alentejo countryside, bouncing down farm tracks. We kept following the directions and thankfully they looped back round to where we started!
This morning’s work. Waiting in line.
A reflection of Alcácer do Sal’s pedestrian bridge in the River Sado.
Looking across some of the newly flooded rice fields in Alcácer do Sal, this morning.
Thankfully this little guy was not for real.
Dreaming of Wales. Back to an image that I took a couple of weeks ago while I was in Bristol, England. This is taken from Seawalls, looking down the River Avon towards the Bristol Channel. In the distance are the hills of Wales. I lived in South East Wales for almost 20 years, and a part of my heart is still there.
It’s been a week since I have posted anything here, and I am probably behind with a few stories and images. So here is a photo from yesterday in Lisbon. This character greeted us after lunch.
A rainbow, or should I say a double rainbow that showed itself while I was in Britain. My wife sent me the photograph, so photo credit to her. 🌈
A visit back home to Bristol is not complete without a walk across the Downs.
Cricket on The Close.
This morning’s view. The TWA hotel at JFK.
This morning there were four rainbows over the space of a couple of hours. One was too big to capture in one photo. Because of the number and size, I have made two collages of this morning’s rainbows 🌈
These two were out for a stroll this morning.
Another snail I saw making its way across the driveway. An hour later it was almost across. Oh to live such an unhurried life.
This evening’s double rainbow 🌈
Yesterday’s trip to the Green Waste dump here on Maui was like visiting a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie set.
The trade winds were blowing strong and a machine was turning over the pile of composting waste, sending debris blowing everywhere. As I got out of the truck, waste blew into the truck before I could get the door closed. It blew into my face and under my sun glasses as I tried to get my green waste out of the back of the truck. I sort of adopted a sideways stance to counter what was blowing so violently through the air.
Opening the truck door again blew more waste in. I put the air conditioning full on to clear the air as I drove away.
I scraped this mud wasp nest off the floor, under a chair while moving furniture over the weekend. It had long since been vacated, but still was well and truly stuck to the floor.
Changing it up a bit. This morning’s in house rainbow 🌈
This morning’s rainbow 🌈
This evening’s double rainbow, seen over a hedge and through the Betel Nut and Lychee trees.
Current events informed our movie watching choice last night, though my wife did not make it to the end. 🍿
This morning’s rainbow, and a shadow of me. 🌈
Two shots of yesterday evening’s rainbow 🌈
I forgot to post this rainbow from yesterday evening 🌈
Two views of this morning’s Easter double rainbow 🌈
Looking over a wall from Kihei in South Maui towards the West Maui Mountains as Kona storm crept in on Thursday of this last week. There was thunder,lightning and heavy rain.
A beautiful view this afternoon from the cliffs near to Ho’okipa Beach Park. The island of Moloka’i is in the distance.
Adolescence covered a difficult and concerning subject, and did it so well. Well worth your time…
