Walks with Trees



Walks with Trees

We cannot get together to walk so here are photos from our individual walks


From Gordons Hill which is closed as part of the infection prevention program. Looking across the River Derwent to Mount Wellington.


A walk by Wayne taking in Boronia, Kingston and Tyndall Beaches.

















Tas and Flyn


A flowering Leatherwood Tree on a 4km walk followed by Freekeh Salad with home grown tomatoes at Stewart's exclusive venue  in Redwood Village.




In Sandy Bay you get adverts with your trees as Sylv found out.



When you are in self isolation like Jo and walk 2500 steps in 30 minutes it is good to be able to see a 130 year old heritage listed tree from the window.


and this one 


This is from Nutgrove, thanks Bob.


Donna and Tom took in the track to 

Trial Bay (who is out there in the boat? Wayne?)


I took a stroll with my dogs around Rosny Hill



Bronwen and Marcus walked around the trail beside the North West Bay  River at their place, through White Gum wood, to return to Miandetta Drive via the public walkway.  
The currawong nest is 20 metres up at the top of a regrowth
White gum.  At the big pool white duck was enjoying the
solitude, paddling beneath the leaning tree carrying the rope swing (oldies would have more sense than to play Tarzan!) 





Lynne and the Forty Spotted Pardalotes love this White Gum near to her house. 



From Sue and Gary "Not a shot from this week unfortunately but one of a  couple of weeks ago when we took our visitors to the airwalk  and surrounds. "





Tas and Kay walked locally






Looks like Jo has been busy in her garden, her new little tree being protected from pademelons



Mark and Cynthia are in isolation after interstate travel, so they walked into their garden for this tree.



A colourful late entry from Bubbles




A Medlar tree from Hilda


And to finish


(A cartoon by Leunig which is based on a somewhat sentimental poem by Joyce Kilmer made famous as a song by Nelson Eddy in the late 1940s)
