Red sky in the morning.....

So, we left off with a shot of the Remarkables at sunset. This time it's sunrise (Friday morning on the way to work). It's one of the few advantages of the short days at this time of year - we get to see sunrise on the way to work and sunset on the way home!

This first photo is looking towards the Crown Range from by the airport

This one, obviously, is the Remarkables (taken from Frankton Road, which is the main road as you drive into town along the lakeside)

And after Burton almost sitting on the heater in our last post, we're pleased to say the fire is most definitely up and running again... and as you'll see below, Burton is pretty pleased about it all. Happy? Definitely. Modest? Not so much.

Packing

"This carry on bag is a little small. Have you got anything more comfortable?"

Next stop, Auckland.

Mowing the lawn

Greg was mowing the lawn last week. Burton "helped".

"No, Daddy, you can't have your catcher back. Then you'd have to move me... and look... I'm ever so cute!!"

Cat-dog and Orange Moon

We've known for a while that Burton has some dog-like characteristics. Recently he has taken to going for walks with us. Tonight we headed across to the beach, so Burton came too. Apologies for poor photo quality - the only camera we had was on Andrea's phone.

In the news lately they have talked about the haze down here resulting from the fires in Victoria. Although the haze during the day time was hard to capture on camera, the moon wasn't! So here's a photo of the moon on Sunday night.
