We go to Perth Zoo with some regularity when I am in town. Since it was John’s birthday, seemed like the perfect first outing since my arrival. Tricia is 60 years old has been a much loved since her arrival from Vietnam via Singapore in 1963 as a young six...
Still in the Bunbury area, we took a second eco-walk, this time the Manea Park Walk Located in College Grove, the Manea Park Walk takes in a range of habitat types. Manea Park is Bunbury’s premier bush reserve and supports several threatened species including the forest red-tailed black cockatoo and...
Ezra has not been in a hurry to walk. However this morning, with Rubí as my witness, he seemed to be ready to make a big effort. Later in the day, he took some steps to my arms. I have to say, I have had many happy days in my...
We knew it was going to be a different kind of Easter. With Mom gone, the center of all holidays, we would have to cope with missing her and making new memories. Even though in some past Easters I have been in Australia, the internet and phone calls didn’t make...
When he’s not playing the piano, Ezra seems happiest when he’s on his feet using his legs. He wants to walk.
Our house is close to a lovely piece of bushland, and it was an extra treat for him to come home early and we got to take a walk there together. This particular day we went in to find some orchids.
My first day back to Perth I couldn’t wait to stretch my legs after all those hours in the plane, and suggested a walk in the bush. Now I left summer and it’s winter here in Perth… A big contrast to our winters in Maryland!
It was looking to be a hot week, so when I realized the the morning was deliciously cool, I grabbed my camera with the long lens to take a walk. Of course my hope was that I would meet some birds. I did.
We like to walk. So why not a walk along the beach? It’s been perfect weather, and it was a great evening for a stroll. I really enjoyed that walk on the beach. What a way to end the day.
Once again, the heat welcoming us back from winter with a passion, we managed to go for a walk in the bush before it was going to be too hot to do anything outdoors. I always loved walking the the woods back home when I was little, I never dreamed...
Overnight the heat went to record highs and the next two days weren’t looking very promising either. So on the early side we decided we would get out of the house before it became too hot for me to do so.
Early Saturday morning, we went on our guided bush walk in Koondoola Reserve.
Today wasn’t as hot as it has been and the humidity was lower too. Seemed a perfect day to get out of the house, and why go alone when we have two active children in the home that aren’t interested in taking naps. 🙂
So as long as I can remember, a favorite thing to do with a new friend was to take a walk to the beach. Yesterday, after a day of shopping at Arundel Mills Mall (which Alejandra LOVED by the way), we decided we hadn’t done enough walking and took the...
The granite from which Porongurup Range has been exposed by the slow weathering of the softer rocks surrounding the range. Although only 12 kilometres long and 670 metres (2,198 feet) at its highest point, the range is renowned for its beauty. It is clothed in a luxuriant forest of giant...
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. ~George Eliot Today the weather was so autumn perfect, Laura and I decided to take a walk with a little cranky RubÃ. I think...
Mid 80’s temperatures and low humidity led Laura and I outdoors. Since I had an errand in the area, we decided to hike the trail at the airplane park. We call it the airplane park, but it’s really an Aviation Observation Park (for plane-spotting enthusiasts) that happens to be connected...
This is my favorite time of year. Autumn is so crisp, warm, and colorful in Maryland. After running some errands this morning, I asked Laura if she felt like a walk. We both grabbed our Uggs and our cameras and walked around the neighborhood.
The weather of late has been cloudy, rainy, gray, and chilly. So today, it was still all those things minus the rain. Since Silas has had precious little outside time, Laura and I took him to the park and it ended up being a little “Nature walk.” Silas liked exploring...
and...
