Here comes the rain!

When I visited the Blue Mountains near Sydney, Australia our very experienced tour guide knew that rain was coming. He rushed the bus in high speed from one end of the mountains to another, to a place on the rocks where he knew we would get some good shots before getting soaked. So it’s not mist you see, but it’s the rain coming. It was an awesome experience (albeit somewhat rushed) to see, and smell it all coming toward us, get a few shots and rush back into the bus before the pour down.

Sky awesome!

When I was climbing the mount in Mt Maunganui, New Zealand, the sky was awesome! It reminded me of the song Jacob’s Ladder by Rush.

‘The clouds prepare for battle
In the dark and brooding silence
Bruised and sullen storm clouds
Have the light of day obscured…’

Eucalyptus Trees

Eucalyptus trees are my favourite because of their wonderful fragrance! Of course they also provide delicious food for the koala bear.

Eucalyptus oil has many medicinal properties, and is just a great oil to have in your house. I use a few drops with my (unfragranced) washing powder to wash my clothes and it makes them smell very fresh. A few drops on a cotton wool ball, or wipe makes your toilet smell nice and fresh as well.

How do you use eucalyptus oil or any other essential oil? Please share your tips. Thank you!

Beautiful Heather

Encounter during a bike ride through the forest. It was stunning and it smelt very nice with the warmth of the sun shining on it all day.
