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!

- The colours!!! I wouldn't like to be whipping that milk - whoever has that job must have muscles on their muscles.
- Hi Everyone! Ajmer today.
- Second day in Delhi, we went to the old part of the city. All narrow lanes, crazy wiring and crowds.
This is the most delicious street food dessert that's only made in December. At 4am lightly sweetened fresh milk is whipped until it's froth, set and then sprinkled with saffron and pistachio. It's as if you're eating an angel's fart!

Consider it done. I use my phone camera. It has only one button - basically point and press.
We once owned a Kodak Express Photo shop here in town. Ian was a Pentax and slide film man. He has over 10,000 slides that he has scanned and stored on an external hard drive with over 15,000 negatives that have not been scanned and stored. That was the advantage of owning a photo shop. Free film and processing.
Never thought I would see him go digital. He has a Nikon D7100. And guess what he now has over 10,000 digital photos.
I will get him to raid his Kimberley Wet Seasons folder. In the meantime here is one of his. It is the Valhalla, taken during a lightening storm at low tide on slide film some 25 years ago. The framed photo hangs on our loungeroom wall. - OOhh...looks ominous @"Annie C" - wet season Kimberley storm is on my bucket list....one day..... meanwhile I would love some photos over the season of anything specky!
