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!

- Fingers crossed for some rain. It’s like the Sahara here at the moment.
- @tigerbeth yes, joining a club sounds a great idea. Go for it!
@JJ70 ooohh, I love a good sax! Yay, for getting it out ( lol, hope that doesn’t sound creepy)!
Thanks @arpie :)
@"Annie C" love that your hubby noticed the dew drop xx - @Doodoo
Great photo of the bee and the tiny dew drop just below the bee. I did not notice it but my husband, being a photographer, picked it out. - @tigerbeth
I cannot claim credit for the franjipanie. The brother of @arpie created it. I just hope he has success with some more. Getting a true to colour plant from seeds off parent plants is very difficult. I try with desert roses but somehow another colour creeps in due to cross pollination. - oooooh @JJ70 ...... how wonderful to get back to your sax playing!!! Would you like to move to my town, in NSW?? I've been hoping someone with a sax would move to town, as a 'feature instrument' in my uke group! ;) We are experimenting with adding different instruments to some of our songs as 'solos'.
Beautiful song, too! :)
Thinking of you at this sad time, @tigerbeth xx
WOW! Great shot with the bees, @Doodoo!! - @Doodoo...I've been feeling like that about my sax. It is out of it's case fie the first time in a long long time I am ashamed to say.
- @JJ70 thank you 'm doing ok .Dads funeral was yesterday ,a lovely send off one that i'm sure he would've enjoyed ! Broke my heart ! Having a lazy day today (still in my pjs) I have 2 established Wisteria & 2 others in pots I need to plant ,so lovely until the wind destroys the !
Love your photos @doodoo I love photography too think I might join a club to keep me busy !
@Annie c that frangipani is amazing , he was very clever to create it . - @JJ70 thanks. My sons gave me my camera for my 60th & I hadn’t had a chance to use it much as I was diagnosed with breast cancer the month after my birthday. I was so excited to WANT to get my camera back out again
- @tigerbeth. I've been thinking of you and wondering how you are going. xx Your wisteria photos are gorgeous.
@"Annie C" love the bush mechanic story. - @Doodoo...do more photography. You have a good eye for composition.
