Last night the sky was very stormy looking.
Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. Then the welcome rain poured down. I lay in bed thinking how the new seedlings would be loving it. Somehow rain is far more beneficial than tap water laced with chemicals.
Our lovely Granddaughter stayed over night and this morning, at 4-30am, Jack decided to take her down to the beach to see the sunrise. I said “you can use my bike, I will have breakfast ready when you get back”. So off they biked and I pulled the sheet back over my head!
What a change, the storm had gone. It was not a spectacular sun rise, but a pretty one and they brought these photos back to show me.
Only small waves for the surfers, but a lone surfer is out early to catch what he can.
Jade lives inland so paddling her feet in the ocean was a pleasure for her.
Jack captured this lovely shot of her with the golden rays of the early morning sun lighting her face as she gazes out to sea
Living in Paradise... 
I would like you to do a post featuring the rest fo the day as it was also wonderful too.

As Jude commented above you it looks pleasant, but Australian weather can turn so quickly to wild and unpleasant.

Thanks Sue. We have 5 grand children (and more in NZ) and though this family doesn’t live far away we don’t see them often. So always a blessing when our worlds meet for a visit
