Be Spontaneous

Surprise yourself!!



I just realised, I have lived my whole life like this.
No New Year Resolutions.
I just do it!
As long as I am not hurting someone else.

When returning to live in Australia with American hubby Ray,
we decided to travel around Oz.
So before settling in our home, we bought a caravan..
And off we went...



It was a different life.
Cruising the outback
Camping where it took our fancy.
Meeting wonderful people.
And eating when and how we liked.


                            Wherever the birds are, you will find Ray.
                             I'm sure they recognise him and pose..



                    "Hi Ray, forget the rest of them and make me your star."


                   Native birds,cockatoos here, travel alone or in huge flocks.


There is nothing as beautiful or serene than sunset with the light fading and the birds flying in.

                     Peace be still.....tranquility, early morn in a Caravan Park.

Look like gravestones?? Not so!
They are termite nests.
It's amazing how these insects know to build their nests with the narrow sides facing towards the sun. Limiting heat.
It took God to organise such an incredible fete.
Evolutionists have no explaination?????


You can't imagine how tall they are unless you stand beside them.
Ray (on right) is 5'10" so that gives you an idea.
It may also surprise you to know, these are formed from fecal matter.


With so much to see and do, it makes one ponder.
How can anyone dispute the validity of a creator God?



Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you."
Isaiah 60:1

  6. Welcome home. Oh to be free like a bird, we spend so much time gathering and collecting stuff in our lives but the truth is we are only free when we have nothing to keep us bound. The ant hills in Zambia are even bigger than these would you believe. A fantastic post. Thanks.

  8. WOW!!! I always enjoy visits to your site - and this time is certainly no exception. Thank you very much for the peek into your world . . Lovely -
    I'll have to get my camera out for you - it isn't nearly as colorful here, right now. Snow, cold - lots of sparrows (bless them, how do they manage the cold, i wonder . . )
    AND
    BLESS YOU
    My terrific cyber-Friend.
    Love & Love,

  9. I love these photos! They are beautiful. It is my dream to one day visit Australia. I would love to sit down with an Aborigine and have them show me how to play a didgeridoo. That is one of my favorite instruments. I would love to hear an orchestra perform in the Sydney opera house. Or better yet, play in an orchestra in the Sydney opera house! You inspire me to keep those dreams alive! I'm so glad to have made a bloggy friend from Australia!

  10. Oh my goodness Crystal Mary - I have the same exact philosophy - I try to live now (if it doesn't hurt others or God). Do it before the dementia sets in. I am sure you are not surprised by this.

    Hey in the next couple of years there will be 7 billion people and not one of us - have the same fingerprint!

    Awesome or what?

    Love,
    sandie

  11. Thank you Crystal Mary for sharing such an inspirational and uplifting post. I just love the photographs. We all need to worry less and live for the day because we never know how many tomorrows we have left on the earth. Glory be to God that He will someday take us home. Lloyd

  12. The birds are so beautiful and the termite homes are HUGE! I had no idea!
    I love to just pick up and go. It is so exciting, the unknown. I spent 5 years driving a transport truck. That was so fun going to different places but after awhile I became very bored just sitting and driving! Not a fun activity for someone like me who is extremely active.

    I hope you are feeling better. Praying for you!

  15. I don't know how people can deny the existence of God with so much beauty telling us there is a God. What an adventure to travel around Australia, sounds like fun. Hope to come see your country if God ever wills that for my life:)
