Come Walk With Me ......

 .............. this Treasure Tuesday hosted by the lovely Melody

Can you see the mountains in the background?

~ there is a pronounced mountain..... further behind that - it's almost centre picture .... way back on the horizon

That's the Bunya Mountains

viewed from home

there will be beautiful views

wonderful rock formations

we may even be surprised by a handsome local

spot the last of the seeding native shrubs before winter

look at the tree tops in the forest

admire carpets of fern

knotted limbs

we'll stop for a picnic

and watch the red wallaby's snacking

afterwards we'll follow a stream

to pretty little tinkling waterfalls

observe the bark of the Bunya pine

admire the tallest of tall Bunya trees

admire miniature gardens in trees

"looks like when you tangle your knitting" says Him

I treasure the outings we have

even if seeing it all means going back up

It seems tree writing is not a modern idea

(August 1926)

A couple more views on the way home

remember the first picture looking this way
this one is looking back

in between the trees is home

and on the way home a lovely surprise

Echidna

my favouritist of all

moves jolly quick for a little fella

Hope you enjoyed your walk

I really treasure our day's out - pictures taken this last Sunday

My legs are so stiff and sore today so I'll just sit with my coffee and pop over HERE for a read

G'day

Just letting you know.......................

I know a lot of people have already blogged about these wonderful activities happening to support people affected by the recent floods in Queensland...... my apologies if this is repetitive...

I have a friend whose home was inundated in Emerald and she (with hubby and 3 sons) have just finished cleaning up.... she phoned today to see if we were okay... and lots of people have written and phoned today ... We are fine, thanks and although not personally affected it is heartbreaking when these things happen, and somehow when it is in your own local community is seems personal.

Toni at Make It Perfect is organising an online auction to raise funds.... lots of bloggers have already written about what they will be auctioning - whether you sell something or buy something - it will all be greatly appreciated... you can go HERE to read more about it.

The Gum Tree Designers are co-ordinating a very loving activity of making sewing caddies with goodies in it for fellow stitchers who have lost everything in the floods.  You can go HERE to read about how to be involved.

Telling others about these is a great way to provide support too... use the buttons on your blog, mention it and add it on facebook... tweet about it... any way you can... it all helps...

I know everyone is thinking of them all and help in different ways - includes prayers, messages of support, gifts and financial donations  - and many of us will be already involved or donating... these are other options.  As I say "It all helps"....

Thanks.................xx
