Trees along the Way.

We set off for a drive last weekend not sure which direction we should go, but our noses led the way inland see map below of the route we took.  These photos I took along the way.  The bottom photo should be at the top, the top photo at the bottom 😉

The 'man fern' below is commonly referred to as Dicksonia antartica, the soft tree fern an iconic, ancient species native to the cool, damp rainforests and wet eucalypt forests of eastern Australia and Tasmania.

Right side of the map is from Launceston and back to Launceston, Home!

My horse, my Dog, our Pond.

 The first 8 years of marriage we lived on a farm, being a city girl back then I loved farm life.  My late father in law was interested in horses but no one else in the family was except me, so he bought me a pony.  I rode everyday early in the morning until she bolted after about 3 years of riding her.  If she bolted again no one would find me if I was hurt because the farm had hills and valleys and I wouldn't be easily seen.  So that was the end of that.  Father in law just bred from her after that.  (The photos are scanned)

These photos are old, the beach one was about 2008, the fishpond was after that. The only real old photo is of the pony. 

The photo is of me at a beach with lots of pebbles taking my little Shih Tzu for a walk which I did several times each day.   The place is Turners Beach on the north west coast here in Tasmania.  We used to take our caravan (the first one) in the wintertime on our weekend off if we could get away from our business.

The above photo is our once backyard when we had a goldfish pool.  It's gone now. Photos of the lilies.
