Sunny tea drinking day
Our camping spot is so good that we didn't even make it away from it today. We are on a ridge, with wildflowers, a little rock crop to climb, a gully, all in the healing fire and storm damaged forest we're in. And we have mountain views. And no neighbors. For a busy Sunday we had a full 5 cars driving past. Only one of them bothered slowing down. We thought we would go hiking today, but we ended up just reading Sookie Stackhouse novels, sunbathing, drinking more tea and wishing we had more batteries in our cameras so we could take more macro pictures. The only downturn today was that some ravens ate my chips while I was looking for a cockatoo nest. I'd seen a white cocky, and I kept hearing it squeak. It turned out to be a tree leaning on another tree. There had been a huge storm about 5 weeks ago, snapping a lot of trees, including some of the very big ones. I don't think camping here then would have been very fun. But never mind the ravens, there was more snacks to be eaten. To round of our already pleasant day we watched the sunset which just didn't seem to end. When it did end we got the thinnest slice of moon come up, it was like looking at the Cheshire Cat. And again the millions of stars, the Milky Way, and spotting satellites.
