Paracombe outing

Thought it was about time I got back to posting on my blog - the stuff of life has distracted me recently!  (but I don't feel too guilty as I see others have had similar experiences) ..

Had a couple of photo-shoot outings this week through Paracombe (in the Adelaide foothills of the Mt Lofty Ranges)

Pear orchards . . . .

Growth on the edge of the road

Looking across the valley to Mt Lofty

a marvellous lagoon en route

Broom bush (I think!)

... and this beautiful blossom was on a tree at the edge of the pear orchard and I have no idea at all what it might be !

I look forward to playing "catch up" with my fellow bloggers' posts.

Whatever part of the world you live in, I pray that you will be safe and continue to share the beauty of your region with us all.

One of many fascinating homes (and fences) spotted throughout Vancouver Island -

in South Australia most of our houses are built of brick or stones:

timber houses are not the first choice of home builders here 

due to potential white ant (termite) attack,

so it was refreshing to see the wonderful variety of timber home designs.

Historic Hahndorf

This is one of the pathways leading to the home of the late wonderful artist, Sir Hans Heysen. It is located at Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills and, wandering around his property, one can easily see how his surroundings would have provided inspiration for his marvellous talent.
