Single Hill

Single Hill

We met at the Lauderdale Sailing Club for a walk uphill and across the side of Single Hill. 

Heading along the coast path with lovely views across to the east

Roches Beach

Before we turned inland and started climbing

We reached our own particular high point with Single Hill still some way above, but we enjoyed great views

A lot of the grass appeared pink. Not a new species, just weedkiller dye.

The descent took us through light bush and along parts of Tangara Trail.

(Tangara is an aboriginal word meaning "to go")

Meeting up with the road again, just in time to avoid the worst of a cold shower of rain.

Some birds obligingly hung around for their photo

Birch's Bay Art Farm

Birch's Bay Art Farm

A lovely stroll through the farm looking at sculptures from previous years as well as current installations.

Gathering before the walk 

This one nearly found its way into the boot of someone's car.

It is a working farm and we were curious about this crop of bright red fruit.

Guiding the way, even the arrows are sculptures

A musical accompaniment

Astroloma humifusum (cranberry bush)

This was created by a group called Wednesday Walkers (not us) and is composed of local timber species crafted into walking sticks.

The effects of climate change?

 Judging by first impressions this was a tangle of random shapes that made no sense, but looked at from another angle...

The spirit of friendship and fun.
