On a hot day in Canberra last weekend, Bushy and I ventured forth on a date.
I wore my antique linen finely stitched saggy bottom bloomers under a summer dress with a shirt for sun cover. And my magnificent Maori inspired bag. (Note the heat induced red cheeks!)
We decided to explore the lakefront near our house. This is part of the Arts Centre.
(Frame for the clouds?)
Walking a little further around the lake we discovered our destination for afternoon tea was closing.
Quell horreur!
We settled for the bar upstairs.
The sign outside...ummm?
Bushy sitting on the deck of the nameless bar waiting for a breeze.
This is what we could see...
I don't think we did too badly.
This lake is 15 minutes walk or 2 minutes drive from our place.
One of the reasons we stay in our little suburban house.
And yes the breeze did arrive eventually and it was most welcome!!
Til next time, keep on creating!
Love,
Jazzy Jack
Linking up with The Style Crone's Hat Attack. Come and see Judith dressed all warm and cosy in Black and Taupe.
What a lovely environment with interesting visuals. It's nice that you live so close to it. I'm in a suburban area as well, for the same reason. I enjoy visiting the nearby city but equally enjoy going home to a calmer refuge. Great pics.
ReplyDeleteIt's really hot here to-day so we can feel the temperature of your walk as we enjoy the visuals of the fun place, beautiful relaxing scenery, and handsome humans. D&M xxxx
