On my walk this morning …

Hello people. These first two images were actually taken earlier in the month, but Vika and I walked that same bit of extra road today.  The third was taken this morning.

If we venture beyond the footbridge, we usually only go to this end of Argyle Street.

Today, we continued on (left, then right) over this hill.

From the top of the hill. At the bottom, we turned right and came back home via the service road. Last time we went this way – straight ahead, out of sight – I carried Vika all the way back up the hill.

The native shrubs planted on the roadsides are all coming into bloom.

I hope you are all having a good day.  🙂

Me? I better get back to writing. I’m up to where I have to put in a couple of new scenes and I’ve put it off too long. Should be fun.

🙂 Take care.

The blue-banded bee is back!

This was the best I could do, today – using the FujiFilm FinePix A607 camera on macro. I had trouble photographing these native blue-banded bees before. I’m hoping their cousin, the teddy-bear bee, turns up too.  I introduced both bees back in February. I was really excited then as it was my first sighting of these big bees.

I prefer my Nokia Lumia 520 windows phone for taking macro images, but the battery is flat. 😮 I have trouble getting the FinePix lined up right.

I’m sorry I’ve neglected you all. Take care. ❤
