Happy snaps

As you feared... more boring holiday snaps :: Chris + Chris + Tali + Lily making their way up stream.... such a cool relief from the muggy heat.

Lily spent most of her time in the water with Tali (who happens to be one of the most beautiful people that I know... she inspires me to be a better person...we love you Tali) because I was too chicken poop to carry Lily around myself, fearing I would drop her on the slippery rocks.... Tali had her Crocs on so that must be why she is so brave.... we won't mention how Tali also had to rescue me from the top of an underwater boulder.... the fear of the unknown I guess... I just could not get off without knowing what I might step on. Give me a swimming pool anyday!

We were fortunate enough to stay with Tali + (husband)Chris (we both have wonderful Chris' & her name rhymes seriously with mine....very tricky at a dinner party) for almost two weeks, in their delightfully cool aircond apartment on the esplanade.... Tali cooked delicious meals, drove us around, played & sang with Lily and best of all ... sat up till all hours of many a night/morning chatting with me over a glass (or more) of wine. We miss you.

One of the highlights for Lily, besides the "swimming in the rocks", was visiting the Butterfly Sanctuary... this one (Ulysses) thought Chris' orange stripes were pretty tasty.

And one more photo before I have to come crashing back down to earth...

Tali holding (maybe) a moth.... moths have their wings open and butterfly's flutter... there you go.

Sorry... just one more photo....We were high up in the rainforest looking through clouds at a magnificant waterfall.

A side note :: my beloved sewing machine is having a little holiday of it's own.... I took it over for a few days of rest and recovery at Mowers & Sewers.... I am hoping it will come home as good as new ...otherwise it's machine shopping for me ..OUCH!

well, I hope that if your sewing machine doesn't make it through surgery you can use it as a whipper snipper!

I'm looking at the photos thinking, that looks like Nth Qld, and then - there you go, Cairns! Been wet, hasn't it?! We were cut off in Townsville - the supermarkets were even running low on stock.

Cute blog. We too have a Lily. A person one not a flower one.
