Surprise encounter

On another gorgeous day at the beginning of Winter in South Australia (18C with clear blue & sunny skies), I went in search of a walking trail not too far from home. The result:  a wonderful and peaceful walk in part of Anstey Hill Recreation Park.  Bonus experience was spotting a large Echidna on the adjacent hillside!  The following pics will give you a taste of the terrain - enjoy!

Autumn in Houghton

Above is the result of a recent, brief re-visit to Houghton in the Adelaide Hills with a good friend on her birthday. We were pleased to still see some rich Autumnal colours around this pretty "hamlet" - and I couldn't resist capturing one of the local "residents"!

While the air was a little crisp in the shade, the glorious warmth of the sun could still be felt through our jackets when we returned to the Village Square.
