Nearly there I hope (photo heavy)

 Blogger has decided to reverse these photos too, so we will travel backwards again today!

Tira hides from Hank in the garden, clumps of plant are her favourite

Interesting clouds


Local people bollards.
For the Adventure Labs I had to answer a question at each bollard, for example the child bollard was holding a birds nest and I had to count the number of eggs in it. I walked 4.5 km this day, my feet sure knew it! Once again David was at outpatients. 


I rode my bike to Indented head one morning

the pelicans were waiting for food at the fish cleaning table

busy at the main beach

Looking form Indented Heads back to St Leonards

I stopped at Geelong on my way home from the airport for a wander, fresh air and to finish an Adventure Lab



The Geelong to the city ferry


What a peaceful way to spend the afternoon!!
Happy stitching.

  1. Great weather to get out and about. Sometimes my photos load backwards also. I don’t know why or how to prevent it.

  2. Such a beautiful area. Always love seeing your photos. Spent a lot of time around Portarlington, Indented Heads and St Leonard’s in my childhood.

  3. We loved the Geelong waterfront when we visited many years ago. We were there for the Ulysses Club AGM motorcycle rally and we’re at the unveiling of the “Old No 1” motorcyclist bollard. It is an interpretation of the man who started off the club.

  7. Sue - these bollards are stunning. Shouldn't every city be required to paint/carve/decorate their bollards? Just think of the opportunities for artists, and to create scavenger hunts for kids (and adults like you) - the possibilities are endless! I enjoyed seeing some photos with sun - we are so, so gray right now!

  9. I am jealous. Well, I am glad that you are having fun in the gorgeous weather. Her in the US, I am waiting for snow or spring - whichever comes first. It has been cold but no snow yet. Also saw the "news" on IG so came here looking for pictures. I am sure they are coming. Congratulations to you and many blessings to the little one.
