Weekend Walks (a pictorial guide)

I arrived at the cottage eager to see if the mid-week snow had left any evidence of its visit. The roses looked a little stunned and another shrub had split in two due to the weight of the snow but otherwise all was green and beautiful.


The evening was lovely so we took the dogs for a walk meeting some new little calves. They were very inquisitive and friendly, wanting a little attention and I especially delighted in watching one in particular race around and around just for the sheer joy of it.

The next morning my darling and I both awoke to find the weather so inviting we couldn't resist an early morning ramble.

We set off through farmland in the opposite direction to the rainforest. Although this is primarily a dairy farming area, some potato growing also occurs.



Of course the dogs love it as much as we do. Here is Jessie, the inquisitive one disappearing down a drainage hole - wombat and rabbit holes are also favourites -

and faithful Roger just having fun.


Spring always comes later here compared with the city but the roadside blossoms are out including these buttercups (whose image won't load). We returned refreshed and blessed by spending time in God's beautiful creation.
