After walking with my buddies in the early mornings, in the forest for 4k, for many years now I'm only able to do short walks around the village because I still have back problems. However, there are still nice things to see on my way to brighten my day. Looking for the positives. These photos are taken in the village gardens and the resident's gardens.

Zen garden.
I do love your Zen garden. Your garden certainly looks very different to a Melbourne garden at the moment.
ReplyDeleteAt least we can still get outside - I find myself limited these days. That second-from-bottom picture is astonishing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures of these flowers and garden Diane. At least you can walk around and admire the people's gardens including your own lovely one. Take care.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a bit of a puzzle to me that with the incredible range of trees growing naturally in Queensland people feel the need to import trees from elsewhere. Humans never seem to be satisfied with what they have.
ReplyDeleteOh I love all your photos of the gardens. Very artfully composed too.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful! I hope you feel better soon! Take care, have a wonderful day and happy weekend!
ReplyDeletejust came from a blog that has a poem about how we need nature, trees and flowers. so glad you can still get out and see them and feel their peace
ReplyDeleteSmall steps enjoying the fauna in your lovely village will surely lead to longer walks. Take care.
ReplyDeleteDespite it being winter you have so much colour and variety in your garden and surroundings.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, you are lucky that you live in a lovely place with easy walks. Have a good weekend, t'other Diane
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you can get out and enjoy a short walk, it looks like a lovely walk in the gardens at your place. Its always a good plan to take things slowly at first. Wishing you well.
ReplyDeleteDiane, even your short walks have produced some colorful images so good for you on getting out and capturing these beautiful blooms to share here.
ReplyDeleteYou are fortunate to have such beauty close at hand so even short walks can deliver joy. I hope you are able to make a little more progress each day and will soon be out on forest walks again.
ReplyDeleteGood that you can still get out for a walk, even if limited. The gardens look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you are able to get out and enjoy short walks.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are lovely.
All the best Jan

Those are gorgeous flowers and such a delightful walk. Good to know you are getting out for your walks again. Sorry to read about your back problems and hope that improves considerably.
ReplyDeleteYou live in such a beautiful place. The photos are lovely.
ReplyDeleteEven on short walks in your village, you see so much. I'm enjoying your the colorful blooms. I love that pool fence photo - it looks like a sculpture. Is it too cold now for the pool? I was thinking the water might ease your back pain.
