On Our Walks
A while back there was a lovely thread of sunrises that the early risers among us posted. I loved it, so I thought I'd broaden it to a thread for all the lovely sights we see as we do our slow staggers through chemo, or those walks we take after active treatment has finished and we're trying to get our strength and fitness back.
In Melbourne today the weather was sunny, still and mild; perfect for a walk. I have followed my GP to a small town in the Yarra Valley (a good GP is worth the 30 minute drive I reckon), and right outside her surgery is the start of a beautifully laid out walking track. It's 7kms long and I've been keen to explore it. So today I walked halfway along it and back. At over 7kms it was the longest walk I've done since the day before chemo!

- Bureaucracy!
- Yep, what the authorities and the media don't tell you is how often Cable Beach is closed. Yesterday midday it was closed due to stingers (irakanji).
It was always commonsense in the north, many years ago, not to swim between November and April.
Now the the local authorities close the beach - after someone has been stung!!! - Gorgeous! Are there crocs there??
- Hello Ladies
You really must come to the Kimbèrley.
Cable Beach, Broome, today at midday. The tide was in.
Cable Beach is not all white sand and surf, there are red rocks in there. Irakanji too ( stingers - box jellyfish) at this time of the year.
l - I am hoping to find a female version, which is a stripy red and black tail feather when we go down again to Nannup this weekend.
- This is Rockingham beach this morning, so quiet and peaceful.
- I'll get over there one day, @"Annie C" ..... I loved my fishing week on Wilderness Island a few years back (off Exmouth) and just wished I could keep going .....
Yep - that feather is GORGEOUS @JJ70! I collect the bigger Pelican feathers & put them in a tube on the back
of our ute - now THAT feather would garner MANY comments!! ;)
Dear @JJ70, That feather is glowing! And keep posting to 'On our Walks' and 'In our Gardens' everybody.- South Beach (Freo) walk this morning. Dog exercise area.
