LOVE IS LIKE A RIVER....





Love is like a river
never straight
never boring
never predictable
you think you
have it all
figured out
and then
around the next bend
there are rapids
turmoil
unease
scary love
then it calms down
and the river of love
glides peacefully
calmly
and envelopes
you both in it's peace
and tranquility
around the bends
over the rapids
through the calm
yes
love is like a river.

I found a blog. I have no idea now how I got there. I was meandering through blogs and looking at the blogs that that person follows and then I stumbled across this blog called Carry On Tuesday. Pop on over and have a look. Each week a new prompt is added and you can write a poem using the prompt as the first line. Have a read of her blog because it explains it better than that and I don't need to double up. So above is my poem for the week using the line - Love is like a river.

Sunday - Oh Lovely Sunday

Saturday saw Mick and I entertaining friends with an afternoon BBQ. The weather held out and it stopped raining for the afternoon. Cooked some awesome steaks and I made some great salads and we feasted and drank wine and enjoyed each others company. No photos. Just memories.

Sunday morning my daughter and her family packed up after a weeks visit and headed home. I packed up a picnic and grabbed my walking shoes and went to Noosa National Park - the Hells Gate walking section and followed that walk as far as Alexandria Bay. We took our friend that was staying with us for the weekend. He is doing a course in Caloundra and is from Victoria. Mick had only just taken me to this section of the park a few weeks ago. On that day I did not take one photo. I just enjoyed the walk and it was great. Yesterday I took LOTS of photos. I feel some of them captured the essence of the day and I have put some of the many photos on here to share with you. If you want to you can go to my flicker photography page - see link at the side here - and look at more of them.

Picnic lunch and a cuppa before we begin walk - please note awesome tablecloth I picked up for 50c at an op shop recently.

I call this the dougnut tree - how it grew like this is anyones guess.



I love the sunrays in this photo. It has been raining here and overcast for the past week so this sunshine was very welcome.

I took a few photos of a couple sitting on the cliff edge. In this one you can draw a love heart around them.


I love the sky in this photo.






This is looking down into Hells Gate.

Looking across to Alexandria Bay

Just love this photo of stairs into the sky.

You can see which way the wind blows here.

I hope you enjoyed sharing my walk with me - Cheers, Wendy
