Scenes from my Neighbourhood

A walk around the hill into the setting sun brings a few photographic challenges, but we always enjoy the ever changing scenery of trees, clouds and shadows.

Hi Alice!

I feel like I've just been for a stroll with you around Canberra's suburban streets! It's always lovely to see where you live and walk.

Hope you're having a lovely Easter!

You do have the most beautiful views.
Is that a burning bush I see in it's full color?

Thanks for the tour.

You have such a beautiful area to walk through Alice. The gum trees are magnificent. I can smell them (in my mind)! I love the photo of that big old dead tree. Reminds me of one I saw while walking back from the river the other evening. I think I took a picture..I'll check. Beautiful skies!
Does Richard get tired of waiting for you while you're snapping pictures? :) Thanks for the lovely tour. Happy Easter to you!

Loved the shades and shadows of trees and clouds. Autumn looks as if it has arrived in Canberra and is displaying itself beautifully. I hope Easter has been a blessed time.

Blessings and bliss

I always enjoy your photos, is that the Black Mountain tower in the distance,it's too long since I've visited Canberra.

I hope you don't mind, but I've tagged you to continue a meme that Stuart passed on to me - it's on my blog, I haven't been tagged before so I hope I'm doing this right. Don't worry if you don't want to do it.

Your first photo is beautifully composed, with the arching tree limb, and steeple in the distance. The early evening sidelighting is very dramatic also. I like your idea of taking us all on a stroll with you! Thanks :-)

Erica - yes, that is Black Mountain Tower in the distance.

Beautiful photos ... Canberra is a very lovely place ... I haven't been there for a few years, though. I hope you were nowhere near where the fires were a few years ago ... that must have been very scary.
Thank you for sharing the photos.
Take care, Meow
