We went for a short walk through Daisy Hill Forest to Dennis Lake.
At the gate of our village a wattle tree is in bloom.
On the grassy patch there was a wallaby and joey as well as a cockatoo.
It was peaceful at the lake. Lake Dennis is named after the pioneering farming family, which opened up this area and built the dam wall.
We returned to the forest path to take us home.
Moss on a rotting log.
The afternoon sun lights up the palms. Then it was home and a nice cup of tea.
Hello, wonderful wildlife sightings. The joey and the cockatoo are my favorites. I do love the pretty Wattle tree, love the blooms. Pretty view of the lake! Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeletethat Joey made me say awwwwwwww out loud... love that yellow tree. Wow. you have the perfect setting for your photography and walking
ReplyDeleteI love the wattle. We have so many varieties over here in the west. I see you are in Queensland. One of these days I will get there. Enjoy the rest of your week. I am joining you at Communal GLobal.
ReplyDeleteLots to see, even on just a short walk. The wattles in the bush are blooming here and they looked spectacular last weekend.
ReplyDeleteDiane you nature is fantastic
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this virtual walk with you, well done. Hope all is well t'other Diane
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely walk. The wattle tree is beautiful, such a vibrant colour.
ReplyDeleteWonderful nature walk -- some of it looks like what we might see in Florida. But that certainly does NOT include the wallaby or the cockatoo-- i'm not sure I'll ever get over being amazed at what you see in your "backyard" (so to speak).
ReplyDeleteOh what a lovely walk
ReplyDeletelovely photos Diane. you are fortunate to live so close to such beautiful scenery and wildlife. i had a large wattle tree and when it's in bloom it's gorgeous. very australian. i hope you and Bill are well.
ReplyDeletethats a beautiful walk Diane...very pretty bushland and what a bonus seeing all that wildlife!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful walk ! I wished I would meet a wallaby with its baby too, but for that I have to go in a zoo !
ReplyDeleteDiane, you and I are both so fortunate to live in places where we can indulge both our loves of nature walks and photography. Thanks for taking us along and sharing these images.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very lovely way to begin each day Diane, a wonderful nature walk with good friends, surely you can only have the best of days after that! Beautiful reflection shot with the three ducks ✨
ReplyDeleteYou've got a beautiful place for a hike. The lake -- as well as the trail through the forest -- is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGeorgeous! Seriously need to get down again downunder!
ReplyDeleteI remember my visit to Australia years ago when my children were very young. Wild parrots cockatoos, buffalo, and jackels as we explored the outback. You photos have brought me there again.
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed my virtual walk with you Diane. Loved the kangaroo and joey, the cockatoo and the other birds, scenery, that magnificent wattle tree, nature shots. A super post, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful walk. I loved seeing the little guy grazing right out of his mama's pouch. What a clever arrangement.
ReplyDeleteYou live in a beautiful place, close to Nature. Your creatures are so different from mine!
ReplyDeleteThe lake -- as well as the trail through the forest -- is beautiful.
