56) Summer is Here!

It is finally summer and we are dancing on the beach. It is hard to read news about the in-bounds avalanches in the US - its just a different world here!



Ah - the livin' is easy.....















More great flowering trees on the Bond Campus



















Driving to Tambourine Mountain - the Avo wars with self-service stands on both sides of the road 3 for $2, no 4 for $2, - "we beat all advertised prices"!

Just folks selling what comes off their backyard trees. This one had an attractive, friendly stand, plus they're spray-free!










Byron Bay beach play

















Anyone have cruiser envy? Eh?
I can ship you one - too easy! You'll be right!











Only in Byron Bay (Boulder on the beach...)















One would think I would learn. When a plant has small black fruits, that then turn fire engine red, and it's from OZ, one should probably not eat large chunks. There is a reason the fruits are bright red...

There is also a reason it is called the "Black Pearl Pepper"..... Ghost Pirate ships and all..








Byron Bay sidewalk deco







We were leaving Byron Bay - we were drawn to the wild drumming on the beach. This fire-juggling guy (video below) was really impressive. This routine went on for another 3-4 minutes with more and more intricate twirls. Unfortunately my battery ran out! (listen for the fine California 'my gawd" in the background - the young and restless are everywhere...!)
