Feels like heaven

Heaven is closer
Heaven is closer

Did you grow up with that song?

Can you think of a more apt description right now.

It just goes to show that when you're eating dinner at Back on the Beach Cafe with the boys and friends and you only have a macro lens on your camera, Mother Nature's beauty will prevail. And this was our view.

Perfect morning at the beach house reading about Christopher Reeve's life, perfect afternoon swimming with the boys for hours and hours, joined by Kristina and her mum Margaret, eating squid ink pasta with squid as the sun went down.

At times like this, I get to see how I'm that little bit different. I can happily gauge on this view for hours marvelling at its beauty, and the cyclists and runners and evening strollers who passed me by merely glanced at it. I wanted to stop each in turn and squeal, Look! Look at the sky! And behold its true wonder. But I guess I should keep those thoughts to myself and speak in pictures instead.

Feels like heaven.
