Markets by the Sea..



Early yesterday morning we set off for the Markets by the Sea at Whitfords Nodes five minutes from home. I had the bright idea of climbing to the lookouts to get an overall image of the markets from above. Thought we could get away with climbing to the lower lookout, last shot below, but no! Too much bush in the way, so we carried on up to the high lookout, above, must admit I was pretty puffed by the time we got to the top! The market was excellent, love that dogs are welcome, and on this occasion, although there were many enticing goods on display, believe it or not the minimalist me managed to walk away with just a delicious chicken/avocado taco in my tum :) Doesn't that Indian Ocean look fabulous 💙 Happy Monday, take care and stay safe..

    ...the climb was worth it to see the blue of the ocean sky!

    It does look fabulous as does every shot, and it's funny how our shortcuts can sometimes turn out not so wise, and there does seem to be a lot of bush, yet lovely. I always like it when events allow dogs and of course they're always such a joy to meet and see! Lots of food choices it appears but you did good! Bet it was tasty too.

    Dogs are pretty much welcome most places here if well behaved. It is common to see someone in a restaurant with a dog sitting under the table. Keep cool Diane

    That water looks so inviting, we haven't had a chance to get out into it yet.

    I love the birds eye view and the sea. I would never have done the climb on a warm sunny day, glad you did though.

    Haha,Grace, at first I thought I'd loved to join you, but then... dogs.... huhhhh, that is (mostly unnecessary) stress for me (I do know most dogs are friendly, but I met some nasty ones...).
