Copper Mountain
I went down to the lake to watch the sun rise. I pretty much had the beach to myself. That's the Bullock Creek in the foreground, making it's way on it's journey to the sea. The Creek is spring fed.
This morning I went to watch little 'h' play netball, her team pulled off a fantastic win 12 - 11! It was heart stopping stuff!!
After lunch I went into town to clock up my miles (8716 steps = 5.6 k's) I stopped by the supermarket to buy dessert for dinner tonight. You see we are having another 'Guess who is coming to dinner" night. I don't know where I am going, and the hosts don't know who will be knocking at their door. It was great fun last year, looking forward to tonight.
