i know, i know....it's actually wednesday but we can pretend, can't we? the past few days have been so busy that i've barely had any time at the computer at all. i still have to catch up with my bloggy friends too.
anyways, if you follow michelle's blog, you will already know that we went to mt. nebo on sunday for a walk through the rainforest. it was so nice and we all had a great time! the weather was perfect and the walking trail was good enough for bradley to negotiate with minimal assistance. afterwards, michelle and alex treated us to a delicious lunch of fish and chips. YUM!

this is actually some type of parasitic vine that, over time, has enveloped a large tree, then has fed off it until the host tree ended up dying and disintegrating, leaving nothing but a hollow centre and the montrous, killer vine in its place. a wonderful specimen of the tree-vine but kinda sad for the tree that it killed, isn't it?

and finally, a picturesque view from jollys lookout, mount nebo
i will post tomorrow re. my artist's way journey.
til then
love, light and peace
Great pics Mum! It was a great day out.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but laugh at you with your walking stick. It looks like you are about to take flight on it, lol

ROTFL...I noticed I had an odd-looking stance in the pic but I couldn't help but laugh at you thinking I'm about ready to take flight....maybe I'm part-witch...cackle, cackle. ;)
ReplyDeletefish & chips.. lovely.
ReplyDeleteactually you with that walking stick looks much like a Druid would
Looks like you had a lovely day out. I too love to walk through forests.
ReplyDeleteOooooh, Robyn, I like the sound of that....funnily enough, I'm reading a Barbara Erskine book that has a Druid as one of the characters.
ReplyDeleteYes, we did, Shashi....I love being out in nature ~ :)
What a lovely hike! It is so great that everyone seems so happy to be out in nature together!
ReplyDeletethese pics are awesome!
ReplyDeleteWho cares what day it is?
Love the one of the long tall tree the best.
:)
that vine is so cool, nature can do some fascinating things sometimes :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous view :D
What a wonderful day out you had! I need to do things like that more often. I should say, I need to them ...period!
ReplyDeleteDarla♥
What a fascinating place, and lovely views! Great place for the exercise you apparently got from the hike.
ReplyDeletehahhahah.....I'm so glad I wasn't the only late one !!
ReplyDeletecute pics.... love the walk area....
oh...and I must explain that we did not apply each 1/2 inch mosaic tile individually !! they come in 12 inch square sheets...you just cut those and then use thin set to apply each piece. Then...when dry...apply grout....now... I will apply the sealer...so..yeh..it is still work...just not as intensive as doing each little bugger individually.... I would need my head seeing to if I attempted that!
Oh I love that tree vine thingie! Sad for the tree, but what an amazing imafe. I'd love to sculpt that.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing pictures of you and your family- it's obvious how close and loving you all are.
Ahhhhh...I just love trees and paths. Looks like a lovely day out!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures Serena. I am sure you had a lovely time walking and taking in all of natures beauty. I love that monster vine. Too bad it killed the tree. :(
ReplyDeleteThese photos are so cool. We have a tree in sherwood forest with a large hole in it similar to this tree. Said the Robin hood use to hide in it. So old it is roped off to visitors. So can look but not touch. So pleased there are some trees you can still climb in.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely message.
So pleased you have these happening too. Family are so strong together!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. And what a fun time. I didn't know Australia had rainforests?!?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place, and what a *fabulous* way to spend a day. Great pics!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics--love the trees, killer vines, walking sticks, family, and scenery. Looks like a wonderful day! :)
