Walking and visitors

Well hello to all my devoted family and friends......a little something I have hooked up for a baby soon to arrive

So cute and think it will be liked 

Still working on my sock and think after so many years finally worked out how many rows for the heel 

Woody has been keeping warm in my hooking of Sophie 

Pretty neat and today as I type this on Tuesday 2nd June up to round 105....have till 113 to finish 

Last week we had a lovely walk on a nice day near a creek in our town......

Paul looked up a pathway for us and off we went 

Shadow pics lol

Lovely and green and so many trees 

Big grass area for fun sport activities when allowed 

Another part of the creek 

Near a skate ramp too 

Another shot and also the little blue bits are the tennis Little info about Traralgon-international tennis

More pathway 

Carpark near tennis courts http://www.traralgontennis.com.au/

Love this creek 

Walking back 

One day hope to see a Platypus 

Up at our store Aldi this is the view across carpark 

A cockatoo landed on neighbors aerial 

Then there were 2

Zoom on 2nd one 

We have a RAAF base not to far away and this Jet was doing practice runs.....I enjoyed and snapped this 😀😀

A few nights ago I chopped up some tasty ingedients for dinner 

And Bella the neighbors kitty came back 💜💜🐾

She loves watching us 

And I gave her a few nice crunchies 

Meowing at our kitchen window 💜

She visits most days a few times 😀😀

Our dinner.......modified Chop Suey with soy garlic mince cooked quickly 

Well ,as the world changes may we all hold together and keep well xoxo

Walking in our area

Back again and this time doing the walking around our area......I have lived in this town for more than 8 years and we had never been to this reserve

keeping plenty of trees and plants growing here

and good walking path 

looking over to the lake where birds enjoy year round 

Enjoy the read of the signs I photoed.....Paul actually worked at this hospital many years ago   

huge tree which has been recently trimmed 

some of those eastern water hens I like to call Pukeko as they look the same ☺

crossing the Gully 

Looking into the history signed area 

Aboriginal clan 

The steam trains relied on the water from the reservoir to be able to run back to Melbourne 

Some of these signs are a bit hard to read but I did my best and more for us to learn more of the history in our area 

In 1990 322 residence petitioned the city council to preserve this reserve as a natural park 

looking back over the lake 

many more new plants 

walking back on the other side and it was a lovely day for a walk 

more birds 

if you can't read the last sign this is a cast iron valve which was used to siphon water for the steam train.....there were many under/in/on and linked by a pipe and sent down hill to the station.....no wonder I love this town and steam ♥♥

a bird hide where you can look through the windows quietly 

back across another bridge 

plenty of happy Pukeko's 

A good walk on a nice day and will go back again as only covered about half of this place.........

and yesterday on our usual walk to the post office thought it is a while since I shared pics of this short walk down the hill and along this path......where the trees are all losing their leaves and changing colours

past the local swimming pool which is only open in the summer months ☺

and that cafe we often have coffee at has a wonderful mural wall

and back to crocheting last night with Dr Who lol 

well that is it for now xoxoxo
