I go for a bikeride while waiting for my car to be serviced

 ...and on the way I saw -
a buddist temple


and all sorts of birds.

Hey, what are you two eating?

Noodles?


More urban architecure -


and a shopping trolley graveyard -


Also some lovely waterways, reclaimed from old sand pits -


Very popular with some birds -


There's also a beach -
A beach?


There are some other surprises!

Wrong way! Go back!


Across rivers -


Hello! What are you doing?


Who? me?


This little family group crossed my path and took a bit of stalking to get a photo - those little tackers can more fast!


Lots of these stunning red flowering trees - the rosellas loved then too (but they wouldn't let me get a photo)

My week


 This week I've been doing some bike-riding and some supplies-buying!


I am feeling so much better and the weather has been beuatiful - double incentive for getting out and riding!
I persuaded hub to come with me on the Prospect Reservoir loop.
 It's a 34km circular ride, all on bike paths in Western Sydney. The path is not terribly scenic even though it follows the evocatively named Orphan School Creek for a goodly way.

Here is an example of urban decoration!


But then surprise!
A lovely buddist temple, with ceremonies going on - chanting and incense, it took me right back to south-east Asia.


Another day I ventured further west to the circuit of the Olympic rowing course.
This is such a great asset as open space in the west!



Unfortunately part of the path was closed while a group was testing a solar powered car for the solar car challenge.
Space age or what?


And my supplies-buying-spree!
Not on my list - painted wooden discs.

 Also not on my list - coloured lava stone beads
.
 Irresistible - coloured leather thinging

 You guessed it - not on my list either!
Does that happen to you? you end up with a lot of things you just cant leave in the shop!

And a pile of beads in my workspace that just happened to be there at the same time and became a necklace!

Do you sometimes create like that? Serendipity!
