I took Taj for a walk on Fridayto visit a friend up the back of our place.
Hope you've got time to
view to the end;
only 15 pics.
On past one of the pretty ponds next door.
Alpacas in the distance.Taj hasn't seen them yet;
he turns around occasionally
to see if I'm still coming.

Looking West across the valley;rain was threatening.
Some of the old Gums around here are huge.
Cows grazing in the pretty paddocks.
Friend's house in distance.
Olive grove over there.The oil is processed for their table.
Up the hill;Taj still leading.
We've arrived.
Looking down on the path we walked.
View to Cathedral Mountain,hidden in the mist.
Time to return hometo our house in the valley,
just opposite the row of poplars mid picture.

This shot was taken November 2007.Our border is the row of gums top of picture.
The neighbour's horse grazes in the back paddock.
Our trees have grown so much since then.
Some look like little dots in this pic.
You can see how much grass we have to mow!
A lovely place to live.
Hope you enjoyed the walk!

Hi Alaine
thank you for that lovely GREEN walk through the country side and gums...it looks so verdant.
You are lucky to live in such a tranquil setting...
Happy days
Oh Alaine I really did enjoy that walk never been up there before.
Now I feel very tired thanks for that

Hello Delwyn, it is very pretty all around right now but in another month or two the paddocks will be golden.
Hi Barbara, I love exploring. I must take a walk up Thoms Lane before it gets too hot. Coming with me? DMJ found a road into the mountain side of the river the other day; we'll explore that soon. He said that the view over the valley is specky.
thank you for coming to my blog. I did not know the word moggy and had to look it up. It said it was a UK word, but I guess it is Australian too? My American husband had never heard it either. You have a beautiful blog and I’ll come back.
Alaine - what beautiful countryside in which to dwell! Even the cows have beautiful paddocks . . . enjoyed the stroll with you - I imagine Taj loved it too.
Hello Vagabonde, welcome and please do come back. Yes, I believe it's an English word. I am married to an Englishman so I suppose that's how I picked up the word :^)
Hello Bonnie, it is a lovely spot. The hills opposite us are covered in yellow cape daisy. Looks pretty but the weed it springs from is a pest.
Taj absolutely loves being off the lead and running free.
Wow! Such a beautiful walk, Alaine! Everything looks so green and lush after the rains you've been having. Isn't it marvelous?
wow alaine - what a beautiful area to live in!!! i love visiting here and over at delwyn's because you have both completely rebuilt my knowing of australia. today we have an australian school principal moving in to live with us for a couple of weeks! i'm so excited!! i can't help thinking that one day i'll visit your country for real but for now i am truly grateful for the walk today - so beautiful!!!! steven
You certainly live in a beautiful spot!
I always like ti when people take me on their walks where they live, it makes the 'virtual' friend so much more real.
thank you very much.
What a great pleasure it was for me to take this walk with you..Big Al and Choko..love'em!
Hi Lyn, it's a lovely walk. The alpacas are there to guard the sheep (none there at the moment) from foxes. They're cute but will spit if you get too close!!
Hi Alaine,
Very much enjoyed the walk. My favourite type!
You live in such a beautiful place! Thanks for taking us for a walk, I just wish I could be there to actually get the exercise, too!
Hello, glad you tagged along!
Hello Nancy, I love that picture of you holding the baby.
It's a lovely day here; I should get out for another walk.
Thanks for taking me on the lovely walk with you. And, I'm glad to see the alpacas working too. My sister in Colorado has always wanted one or two of them to keep with her horses.
