A Saturday walk in the bush. There was the smell of sweet wattle, the chirping of lorikeets and sweet little yellow birds, the rustling of trees in the breeze and water trickling over rocks, picking wildflowers along the way and making wishes on them. There was also a lot of puffing, those hills a lot higher to climb than we thought but exercise is good for the body, and it felt good to be outdoors together doing it. Along the way we discovered flowers and hearts, reptiles and insects, beauty in nature and the character of old.
Did you make any new discoveries this weekend?

oh I love that photo looking up at the majestic gum, beautiful. looks like a lovely walk. yes, we did make a new discovery over the weekend, our local farm gate trail. will be writing about it soon :)sarah
ReplyDeleteI always think that walking outdoors is the best form of exercise. The beautiful scenery helps keep your mind off of the physical exercise part of it.
ReplyDeleteWe went for a bush walk yesterday as well. One of my favourite things to do as a family. x
ReplyDeleteLove it. Such a great day for getting amougst it :) I actually discovered I just can't drink back to back like the old days!! hehe
ReplyDeleteWe went to the Mount Gravatt show, which had such a country feel, though I would hardly call Mt. Gravatt the country! It's so lovely to explore as a family though, isn't it? And I love that feeling when you get home, tired but happy and ready for a cup of tea! :)
ReplyDeleteYour bush walk sounds just lovely - and looked like such wonderful weather where you are!

A family bush walk sounds like a lovely way to spend a Saturday together (perhaps minus the snake sighting). Lovely photos Catherine x
ReplyDeleteLove your 5th (so Australian) and 9th photos. Looks like a wonderful place to enjoy the great outdoors.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breathtaking (snake made me shudder though I'm sorry):)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, some of the scenery looks very Australian!
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy a walk in the great outdoors. But our temperatures are not agreeable to that right now -- 50 C the past couple of days. I do miss hiking! Yours look like it was a lovely one. Best wishes for a great new week. Tammy
ReplyDeleteOh see I couldn't live in Australia with those snakes! I'd Completly freak out. Constantly. I'll keep the shakes you keep the snakes ;)
ReplyDeleteI love bush walking, we are lucky to be surrounded by some many wonderful tracks to go hiking along - even with snakes & all! Beautiful nature photo's:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos as always Catherine....felt like i was on the walk with you...minus the puffing...yay!!!
