Hello ladies! Sorry I've been quiet with Courage. It's been a very busy few weeks.

But let's start with the neighbourhood I live in. Here is Courage at the famous El-Alamein Fountain in Kings Cross, Sydney, Australia.

And in front of the famous Bourbon Hotel, which was known as the Bourbon and Beefsteak, which was a pub originally catering to the American sailors who would dock down the street at Woolloomooloo navy wharf.

Hello ladies! It was a strange sort of day today weather wise. It started out sunny and warm then got very grey and cold.

I took Courage to two eastern suburbs beaches today -- Coogee and Clovelly.

This is wedding cake island at Coogee.

I'm not sure why it's called wedding cake island!

This looks like a modern day version of a Parisian scene -- very Haussmann!

Hi Red! hows the weather?

I love the pics of the buildings...so neat looking! And that bat installation is neat!

I'd PM Clairejune and see if she's up to taking Courage. Karenjade hasn't posted since December, but I'm not sure if she's lurking or not? If no one else, I'd say back to MollyO for a spell!
 
Sure, if no one else is interested right now, she can come and spend the summer with me in Canada. When I started with her last fall, I was so very ill from chemo that I could not do her justice. It was the worst time of my life! This summer I'll be able to take her to the beaches, to the wineries, etc, and show off a little of my beautiful Okanagan Valley. It's quite the little tourist spot! I'd love to share it with you all!

Thanks for the great pic's Red!
