You'd have to pause to ask why Tom was out and about with his camera at 4.30 in the morning (although that's a good time to hear the wolf pack).
All the same, there he was. And there the moon was. And the mist on the lake.
Very kindly he sent the photo along to us, along with the following comment:
"Once again we had a marvelous time at Bondi. We consider ourselves very fortunate to not only experience the beauty and serenity of your place but maybe even more important to have met and established the friendships with the great people we have met during our annual two weeks. Time is flying but the good news it is only 48 weeks until our next visit!"
We've got those weeks marked on the calendar too... having our Bondi families 'come home' every summer is something we look forward to all year long.
A little later in the day, as the mist was burning off, Tom was able to get this photo from the end of the dock at Farside cottage. What a way to greet the day! Not a breath of wind for the sailboat, to be sure... but the ideal place to feed the soul.
Thanks so much for sharing your photos and memories!
Those are gorgeous photographs-- real works of art that capture perfectly the serenity and beauty of Bondi. I agree with Tom, our neighbours at the cottage have become cherished friends and seeing them each August is indeed a highlight of the summer. (The buttertarts and chocolate chip shortbread cookies aren't bad either). We too, are counting the weeks until next August!
