Trips, Walks, Writing
We had another trip to Victoria a few months ago and spent time in the gorgeous wine growing area
These pictures were taken in and near Nagambie.
Lake Nagambie
Road near Mitchelton Winery
View from tower at Mitchelton Winery where we bought some lovely wines.
Cockatoos in daughter’s back yard.
Daughter hand feeding a wild cockatoo
There was a visit from daughter and grandsons in September and we had some outings while they were here. The first was to Monarto zoo just outside Adelaide. Lots of animals and you get driven around in buses so a bit like going on safari, sort of.
chimpanzees
Giraffe
Cheetas
Lion
And, a Tasmanian Devil
Then we went to Victor Harbor, a touristy town on the Fleurieu Peninsula
and took the horse drawn tram to Granite Island
Sea, rocks and cormorants
A seal engraved in a rock
there was a blue tongue lizard hiding in the grass
a rather surreal image of the shallow sea bottom taken from the bridge
It was a great week with them and hopefully there will be lots more visits.
These pictures have been taken over several weeks of our spring walks in the park
Birds in flight
and just sitting
the resident koala
and then later with baby
pretty butterflies
and finally, son’s tripod dog who joins us these days
On the writing front, there has been a small fic for the
lewis_challenge , another episode in the Victorian Lewis and Hathaway vampire world and their attempts to catch up with the elusive Dracula. I’ve quite enjoyed creating this world and might carry on with it for another fic next year.
So that's me up till now. This entry was originally posted at https://margaret-r.dreamwidth.org/44679.html. Please comment there using OpenID.
