I was enjoying an early morning walk at Lysterfield Lake recently as the sun rose over the hills beyond the lake.
Wattle Blossom
As winter begins to fade and spring is emerging the wattle blossom is very prevalent all over the countryside, with its bright yellow showing up quite clearly between the greens and greys of the hillsides.
Dew drop
This delicate azalea had many dew drops on it one morning. Looked gorgeous in the morning sun. I particularly liked the one drop getting ready to leave the flower.
1000 steps
There is a place at Ferntree Gully called 1000 steps. It’s in the National Dandenong Ranges Park. Beautiful scenery, hard walk and lots of hill climbing. I love to visit there. Haven’t been to the top of the steps yet but have seen so many other things. These are just a couple of the views…
Coming for a landing
While at 1000 steps you are guaranteed to see and hear lots of Sulphur-crested Cockatoos. They are noisy birds and easily excitable. This one was coming in to land on a branch when I caught the action.
