Aimee and I haven't been walking together for ages, she's been busy, I've been busy, you know how it goes! Yesterday however we were in like minds and set off on one of our favorite walks through
Hepburn Heights bushland and
Pinaroo Valley Memorial Park . I think even the kangaroos were pleased to see us, standing up alongside the path as we went past looking as if to say 'G'day mate, where've you been!!' We're getting in some practice for the
Mother's Day Classic in May, an 8kms walk to raise money for Breast Cancer Research. I can't think of a better way to spend Mother's Day apart from if my Mum was here to share it, THAT would be the best! A fresh week beginning, let's hope it's a good one.....
They are so nice!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Grace!
Really cool! Keep on walking!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the idea of meeting kangaroos when I take a walk!! What a delight! The next best thing to that is your photos, Grace!! I love them! Hope your week is off to a great start!
ReplyDeleteSylvia
Nice of them to stop and say hello.
ReplyDeleteI lived for almost 6 years in the Earl's Court area in London, aka Kangaroo Valley (plenty backpacker hotels full of antipodeans looking for a job), but I've never actually seen one. Lucky you!
ReplyDeletea lovely place to practice for your Mother's Day Walk!
ReplyDeleteI see squirrels on my walks and you see kangaroos! Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures. Good luck with the 8Km walk, hope you raise lots of cash for an excellent cause. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see Grace... a bit bigger than the squirrels I see on my walks..
ReplyDeleteGreat. Kangaroos in the park. Such an image to see here. Here only the hares running. For us, the exotic image. A nice new week wishes Peter.
ReplyDeleteLove that you get to see kangas while out walking. They must be very accustom to seeing people so close to them. How nice!
ReplyDeleteHow great to be able to see the kangaroos! I count myself lucky if I get to see squirrels and deer...of course, we don't have kangaroos over here, unless they are at the zoo..love the photos!
ReplyDeleteYou live in such an amazing environment.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good new week ahead.
Not something we see around here but I am so happy you shared these with us.
ReplyDeleteOn my morning walks i see and hear native birds and come across lizards and snakes but not to often :-).
ReplyDeleteI love it when you post photos like this because it is so unusual to what I'm used to. I keeping thinking how fun it would be to encounter such unique creatures on a walk in the park.
ReplyDeleteKangaroos are such interesting creatures! I think it must be rather exciting to be greeted by them as you go walking by!
ReplyDeleteThis is probably bizarre, but these animals remind me of Winnie, the Pooh--perhaps it's because Ilove both Kanga and roo!
ReplyDeleteThat would be so cool to be walking past kangaroos like that!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be getting much practice, I'd just sit down and watch them! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I would like so much to make such an encounter once in my life!(I'd sit near Ciel..:o)
ReplyDeletePS: I added a link on my blog of benches! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteBonza day!
ReplyDeleteNow that's not something you see in downtown Melbourne.
ReplyDeleteAww... cute. The most exotic wildlife I see in the suburbs of Belgrade is a pheasant.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your post about the Pinaroo Valley Memorial park recently, I actually went there for a visit, and was pleasantly surprised with such a beautiful cemetery.
ReplyDeleteI loved the kangaroos there as well, what a beautiful sight!
Oh, they look so cute and really happy to see you again.
ReplyDeleteGet a hoppin' start to the week here.
ReplyDeleteHello and Bonjour!
ReplyDeleteI came from "Benches - Malyss" , to visit your blog and I'm really enchanted by your posts.You are very talented with your camera!
Hugs

amazing to me .. kangaroos just hanging out in the park .. here we have squirrels and birds ....
ReplyDeleteI always get overseas visitors asking me where the kangaroos are in Melbourne. They expectitg them to use street crossings and observe the traffic lights obviously. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt still amazes me that kangaroos can be a routine part of your daily walks!
ReplyDeleteJack has took the words out of my... keyboard! It's amazing indeed.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your kangaroo photos! So neat :)

ReplyDeleteLove these creatures; all I have in my woods are deer and they run a mile as soon as they sniff us! Nice shots Grace and yes, many congrats to your year long blog!
