Some photos of natural wonders discovered on a hike between the towns of Riomaggiore and Manarola, Italy. Poppies like these could be seen all along the railway lines in Italy.

Our time at Manarola - Italy
Finally! Some photos from Cinque Terre. Our legs dangling in the water at Manarola. All manner of creatures were swimming around below us. Some fish and prawns we could make out.
We did a hike up the mountain past vineyards on the slopes at Riomaggiore where we met a very friendly American couple.
And relaxed in the evening at a wine bar in Manarola with some cheese dipped in honey and mustard.

Welcome Swallows
These birds were perched above my car-space at work one day a few weeks ago.
[Edit] My uncle tells me these are "welcome swallows".
It is Steve's birthday. To celebrate we had dinner at the ESS BAR last night with Kristina and Peter (it is also Kristina's birthday today). A fun day today!
Sarah Blasko
Photo by Ross Jenkinson
Last night I saw Sarah Blasko sing at Steve's work. She has a beautiful voice. I have her album "What the sea wants the sea will have" but I appreciate her talent more now that I have seen her live. The album doesn't do her voice justice. I could have got a photo with her but I was too shy to say hello. I received a parking fine because I was in such a hurry from work to catch her gig I forgot to buy a parking ticket.
Garden
This weekend we planted the cycad into the back of this garden.
