I snapped this gorgeous pink Vespa in an outdoor Paris cafe last year. I was very attracted to the scene with the contrasting green of the cafe door, the green table cloth and chairs. The owner of this little Vespa was wearing matching pink with red hair! The weather was perfect for a leisurely outdoor lunch watching the passersby as the Parisians love to do.

Beach lovers, relaxing, chatting, strolling and dipping their toes into the cool ocean.
Busy Bondi Beach!
I love to watch the parade of people walking along the boardwalk. A
favorite place for new mums, dog walkers, joggers and people just taking
in the atmosphere of Bondi Beach on a hot summer's day.
I've always loved the enormous trunks of these lovely old gum trees. We have an amazing 150 year old (could be much older) Kurrajong tree in our garden!
I thought I would share with you some of my relaxing beach paintings. These beaches are from the East coast of Australia.
There is nothing like relaxing at the beach on hot summer's day. I hope the relaxing music will bring back fond memories for you of summers past.
