Big Skies

Three to four times a week, I crawl out of bed at 6am and head off to a local gym. On the mornings I am not there, I am trying to get into the habit of going for a walk instead. I work from home 100%, and I have a bad habit of sitting at my desk all day.

Prior to us moving to Goulburn, we lived on the North Shore in Sydney, in a suburb that had the most wonderful canopy and going for a walk was a daily thing for my husband and I. We would go pretty much every day in the afternoon, grabbing a coffee at our local coffee shop and drink it in the local park – weather permitting, before heading home.

But where we live now, there is no canopy, not even a footpath. So going for a walk isn’t really enticing, especially in summer when the sun is beating down on you.

Then I do go for one and remember what we do have and that is we have a big open sky, which I absolutely adore. Just tonight, we were watching the most amazing lightening show during a much needed storm. We could see huge lighting strikes from the sky right down to the ground.

We get some amazing sunsets with pinks and oranges and during the days, the sky can be a brilliant blue. We do get to see more stars than we did in Sydney, but we are still close to town that we are affected by the light from there.

Yeah, I think I am pretty lucky looking at the below pictures, wouldn’t you agree?
