I miss my walking buddies of a morning but we are not to walk in a group of four so we go by ourselves now. Sometimes I meet up with one of them and that's okay as long as we stay apart. The good thing about it is I can stop whenever I like to take photos. Trouble is I only carry my phone when walking so the shots are not the best. Here are a few things I see on the way.
One of the hills
A billabong
What's this? A bear in the forest.
A line of hairy caterpillars crawling across the track. The picnic area is drying out again.
Yes, I take my I-Phone with me at walks too, it feels much more comfortable without carrying a camera. At least you find something interesting to make a photo. I am feeling I am going a bit out of inspiration to find subjects for the blog in this crazy times we are living in now.
ReplyDeleteWell look at those grubs, amazing, have never seen grubs do that.
ReplyDeleteHopefully soon you will have a companion to walk with.
Hello, looks like a nice walk. I love the shot of the sunlight through the trees. The bear is a cute find, was it left my your friends? I assume a billabong is a creek? Pretty scenes and photos. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy week ahead.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see the photos, Diane, and read that you are getting out on your favorite forest walks again. The phone photos are not so bad these days and I always have mine with me just in case, more so than the camera. That said we are planning a nature walk this week and I will take along a camera to capture what we see along the way and then also share online.
ReplyDeleteDid you put that bear there? So a billabong is a swamp like area?
ReplyDeleteNo it was just sitting there for days.
DeleteIt looks like a good peaceful walk ! The wood is pretty. We are allowed to walk by two with the 1.50m distance. Next week it will get warmer again !
ReplyDeleteThe caterpillar conga interested me particularly. I was wondering which of the processional caterpillars they were. I know that the ones that eat Wattle trees process from one to another when they have stripped one bare. One of the butterflies does to go to its pupating site but I'm not sure which one.
ReplyDeleteAlways interesting to see other people's walks. I haven't come across a bear on my walks yet.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are just fine, I do like them
ReplyDeleteThe bear looks very content in your park. The grubs are creepy.
ReplyDeleteSuch Beautiful Photos - Take Care
ReplyDeleteCheers
Just typed a whole comment and it simply vanished!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will be delighted when 11 May arrives and we will be allowed to walk beyond our 1 km radius and without a permit. It has got a little uninteresting walking the one and only available loop for the last 49 days!
I love your shot of the sun through the trees.
Stay safe and keep well Diane
Lovely photos on your morning walk and the bear is cute too. I think we are all looking forward to meeting up with friends.
ReplyDeleteGreetings for the cute bear you meet in the woods ..., she is really sweet.
ReplyDeleteRegards from Indonesia
I think you got some great pictures with your phone. The first photo is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou take excellent photos with your phone Diane, I'm hopeless! Have never seen a line of caterpillars like that, fascinating!
ReplyDeleteFascinating line of the crawly critters...I'm glad you still get out and walk, even if it is sometimes alone.
ReplyDeleteHubby and I walk our neighborhood. Going from sedentary people to finally getting our walk up to a mile is so good for us Oldies but Goodies. Pushing onward !!!

It looks a very nice walk and so lovely to see a bear … that made me smile :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Well, that is the best kind of bear to come across in the woods! I think many people are realizing the value of natural places during the pandemic. Maybe they will care more about preserving them when this is all over. I hope so!
ReplyDeleteI can never tell if photos are from a phone or camera! Thanks for taking us along on your walk. How fortunate to meet a friendly bear :)
ReplyDeleteFeel free to share at My Corner of the World
Be careful with catarpilars, they are very urticating!

I didn't know that was what a billabong was!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us on your walk. The photos are lovely. I noticed in a couple of your previous posts that there were bears and stuffed animals in some of the trees. Did someone randomly do that, or is it a planned theme fpr that path?
