Well, maybe not paradise but it is certainly a beautiful part of the world. These photos are all taken within a 1km stroll of our home.
This is the view from the top of our driveway.
Looking across the valley
1km south and we have spectacular views of the Glasshouse Mountains
Looking west in the late afternoon from our front boundary
Walk about 1km east along our road and this is the view of the coast.
A slightly different angle shows Ewen Maddock Dam as well.
Perhaps we should take time out more often to appreciate what is around us. Have a wonderful weekend.

Lovely photos Fairy. I commented on your tourists post the other day, that we, too, have much to be grateful for in our part of the world. There is so much more to see.
