Blue Mountains - Leura Cascades to Katumba

Today was another new walking adventure. I went to the Blue Mountains.

What a terrific walk. I started in Leura and walked through town. At the end of a road (and after reviewing the GPS on my phone), I took a chance and entered what "looked" like it might be a bushwalking path. I walked along a pretty wide path, which miraculously opened up near Leura Cascades.

From there, I started walking along the Prince Henry CliffWalk towards Echo Point.

Below is a shot taken along the walk at a lookout point. This is looking down at Bridal Veil Falls. When I go back, I'm going to make sure I have the time to walk along from Leura Cascades in the other direction so that I can walk down to the bottom and across back towards Karumba along the bottom of the bluffs in the bush! There are several falls like this that I'm sure are even more impressive looking up!

You can't really tell in the photo above, but those falls are well over 200 feet tall! (If you look closely, you can see a couple people at the base!)

Above is the classic shot of 3 Sisters! It was absolutely incredible! (But the area where this is - very congested!)

Above is a captivating photo of the views across the expanse

Above is a shot of me at "Copelands Lookout".

More beautiful views.

Overview of the hike! I clocked it with my phone. I walked a little over 10 miles.

Warm Little Sweetness

I must admit that I have become quite fond of making little bitty sweaters. It all started on a recent trek to India traveling for business. I needed to carry just enough yarn to keep my busy bee hands occupied during the evenings in my hotel room. There are just so many hats a person can make, right? Anyway, having limited quantities of yarn, I decided to give a small sweater a go. This is the first one I created. I had just the perfect little buttons to add! (It really is amazing what one might find in their cosmetic bag) I love it. This sweater is also featured on the Pinque Peacock blog since I used her buttons. (Go visit and see the buttons up close) This makes the sweater a really one of a kind project! This next one is perfect for a little preemie. It's so tiny, but features a great big snowflake! Close up of the snowflake…. I also sewed on one of the StampinUp! Frosted Finishes Embellishments. I think it finished it off nice

Precious Boy

A quiet, misty morning walk in late March 2012. This little precious boy puts a smile on my face every time I look at him. I mean, really, who wouldn't smile like there's no tomorrow at this little guy? I love him. Every. Little. Thing. He almost (ALMOST) competes with my husband. My sweet husband with a similar expression. What do YOU think?

Pour Vous

I finally took the opportunity to put together a couple little gifts this afternoon while my husband was once again slaving for the man on a Saturday afternoon. This is a little bag that holds a necklace I made for my daughter. For once I can honestly say that this was NOT difficult to create. Here's a close-up. Next up is the photo of the address label. I just LOVE decorating the OUTSIDE too. It just makes opening up the surprise package all that more exciting.
