Season and Celebration

 Ralph and Anne are more used to seeing Bondi in mid-summer. When they came this weekend with their children and grand-daughter to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary, they were quite taken with the 'different vibe' of Bondi in a different season.

There is a change of pace with each season, and along with that comes a change of the colours and wildlife that are here.  Right now, the iris are in spectacular bloom. Come late July, those colours will have given way to the Hollyhocks, just to give one small example.

Grand-daughter Ellie was making her first visit to Bondi. The shallow water got a definite vote of approval.

It was lovely to see them all here -- we have watched Matt and Heidi both grow up over their summers here at Bondi, so to welcome them back with their own growing families is a true delight.

Congratulations on your Anniversary, Anne and Ralph. Here's to many more!  See you later in July!
