Life’s Score
Early Morning Walking
Over the past few days I’ve enjoyed walking down at the Camden Bike Track which is located alongside the Nepean River, not far from where we live. It has broken its banks no less than three times this year. We have recently moved here but we are up higher so hopefully, we are high enough.
It is Summer here in Sydney, Australia and we are located about 60km SW of Sydney. It was a cool December by our standards, and it has only been in the mid 30’s (Celsius) over the past week.
In those two walks, I walked a total nearly 10km and took some shots with the phone camera. I hope you enjoy them.

Stepping Into The Light
Feather Fountain Pen Set
One of the presents that I was very grateful to receive was a Feather Fountain Pen set. I had looked at these before and thought I might like one but wasn’t sure. They look unique though you cannot really try them in the shop so it seemed a bit of a gamble to buy one. I have two Fountain pens already, and not being a collector, I am very happy with the two pens, a Lamy Safari and a Waterman Hemisphere.

I used it for the first time last night and was very happy with how if felt in my hand, writing, in fact, I wrote a poem with last night. I also like the nib that was fitted to the pen, a Finer point. I love writing with Fine or Extra Fine nibs. As you can see, it comes with a selection of nibs and I am looking forward to trying them out.
There are more expensive Feather Fountain Pen sets available, however, I feel that this will be a great introduction to these type of writing tools. Looking forward to using it again.
Happy Writing All!

Summer Beauties
Well, it’s been the best Spring/Summer for blooming Cacti flowers that I’ve had in quite a few years!
Here are a couple of more beauties…
The series of 3 images is from a Notocactus variation, and the Yellow flower is from an Echinopsis variation.




At the end of the flowering season I shall put together a post showing all the flowers that have bloomed from my Cacti and Succulents this time around.
Looking forward to the next beauty!
