— the swoop of sandstone, its colours and shapes... Lion Islet is an ever changing, always captivating wonder... It was a treat to be on the water to enjoy the depth of the colours which, in the summer sun, are vibrant. Actually the colours are vibrant in the winter too. Just so different!

Even while the heaviness of the rain bends the stalk, and bows the head, water — a gift from the heavens—  is seeping into the deep places.  Nourishment is soaking the roots. What is needed is being given in the way it can be received,  hidden from our sight.
