Lingering Look at Windows : Devonshire tea with a view

The days are dwindling, there are only a few left before we head back south and home. Where has the time gone? I have enjoyed just being absorbed in this “good life”.

Before we leave there are a couple of places I want to revisit and one of those is Lake Barrine. It is only a short drive and the Tearoom has a reputation for its Devonshire teas with fresh-baked scones. So this week I will take you to visit this iconic wet tropics area. Maybe I will see a tree kangaroo.

Lake Barrine Tea House

 

It was not very busy

Most people were sitting out on the deck with the view of the Lake spread before them, but this young fellow is more interested in his phone…

 

It’s a warm day and the windows are open all round to catch the slightest breeze

 

Windows make the most of the view. What do you think of their colour scheme?

 

The scones were delicious but I thought a bit over priced at $15 for one and a half scone each and a cup of coffee. I think you pay extra for the view!

 

Pelicans float majestically by

 

 

Here is Jack admiring the view and the flower beds.

The day lilies are beautiful

 

On the shady side the orchids are flowering

 

We go for a short walk along the track around the Lake and find these huge Kauri trees

I didn’t see a tree kangaroo…

Dawn from ” The day after” has a challenge to find windows and post them each week. I love these Word Press challenges they open your eyes to the world around you. I also enjoy looking through all the other interesting and varied windows from around the world. Go to Dawns link, you may have some windows you can show us.
