snuggling into tree shadows...

Just love snuggling into the sheltering shadows of a big tree on a bright sunny day...

gentle rain and reflection...

PASSING THOUGHT: It's raining...gentle rain...But that's OK...The planned walk to the nursery cancelled+just having a reflection day...
Can't believe that I have now been in Temora for a week already...Arrived late, very late last Tuesday...
I have seen so much in a short time... pic.twitter.com/QC3fervLIQ

my REAL first day of retirement...

PASSING THOUGHT: I regard today as the REAL first day of my retirement...Students are back at school, starting Term 2, and I am not... I have watched students pass by in the street and feel so very strange...

I took the above 2 photos at my daughter's Temora Public School last Monday afternoon, Anzac Day...

(My daughter was doing preparation for the new term, so I explored the school)...

The school opened in December 1880

and expanded into a Superior Public School in December 1901...

In January 1923, it became a District School and then an Intermediate High School in January 1928...

In January 1953, it became a Public School again...

The school currently has an enrolment of 271 students

including 8 students of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin...

I feel my photos represent how I feel right now...a kind of sadness...

But I must keep walking toward another light...

human barometer?...

A human barometer of sorts...testing the mood pressure of the moment... https://t.co/By1WoDPPmX pic.twitter.com/VB0B3zr4cR

Junee Licorice and Chocolate Factory...

 

Junee Licorice and Chocolate factory is quite an experience...

Multiple dining experiences in both outdoor and indoor spaces

plus, of course, the dazzling chocolate and licorice shop...

Rustic nooks abound...

There is even the odd old vehicle there...

I even adored lunch - a new taste experience for me...loaded fries...with pulled pork...
