It's a funny thing. If you have a car (and I borrowed one that day), you can discover that right next to the big, touristy, glitzy city is a whole other world. It exists in small, isolated patches. It stuns you with its beauty and with its contrast to its neighbouring bright lights. At the same time it frustrates you because you cannot walk in amongst it but only look on longingly from the road.

It is so true everywhere! Whenever you see a little paradise it is a private place that you can only observe from outside!

The property owners near you are very lucky; I can imagine it is difficult for them to know what to say! You are helping them but also reminding them of their own responsibility. I love the fact that you and Guillaume care for the land in that way. Rubbish was a real problem in England: people seemed to care much less about it there. I think Australians are generally a bit better about cleaning up, though that is changing, sadly. There is a lot more rubbish around these days that there used to be.

Introduction
"Only that day dawns to which we are awake," wrote Thoreau. This blog, in words and pictures, is my attempt to be awake: to be alive to the mystery of life. It is an exercise in gratitude and wonder, and an open invitation to beauty. Archives
