Beautiful winters day last Sunday with the temperature being 15 deg C. We went for a drive to Legana a growing suburb 12 km from Launceston. There were several orchards in the area but of course some of the land was sold. There are still apple and cherry orchids plus other fruit trees. I took photos of the older area including an apple orchid. There is Tavern, Supermarket, Post Office, and a few other shops there so you don't have to come into the city to buy food.
The dotted area is Legana.
It is so beautiful! Looks like it could be farmland here in America.
ReplyDeleteIt probably could be in certain areas Sandi.
DeleteHi Margaret, what beautiful views. So refreshing to see. Thank you for sharing these lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Linda. Thank you.
DeleteBeautiful view.
ReplyDeleteI would love a house there to be able to look at the view each day.
DeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful area for a day trip. Fantastic to see these all.
Picture 3 is very, very nice. What a great view.
Many greetings,
Marco
No 3 picture is a great view, I agree, it's always good to have a hill, green grass and tree or two and of course water in a scene.
DeleteQué cielo… y que panorámicas. Me gusta!!!
ReplyDeleteUn fuerte abrazo.
It is indeed a beautiful view from there. Thanks.
DeleteMargaret, a beautiful place to enjoy a sunny Sunday.
ReplyDeleteA hug for you.
Thank you Norma. It was good to visit for a short drive on a beautiful day.
DeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe third photo is such a beautiful landscape.
Thank you. Yes, the 3rd photo is the pick of them with a great view. I guess the people in that house enjoy it.
DeleteFABULOUS photographs, Just lovely to see.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you Jan.
DeleteI love your photos of Australian countryside.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Thank you.
DeletePrecioso paseo Margaret. La tercera es preciosa. También la foto de otoño de la cabecera.
ReplyDeleteBuena semana.
Un abrazo.
Thank you Laura. I like the 3rd photo too, it is a beautiful scene.
DeleteThat looks like a wonderful drive. You got a lot warmer than we did on Sunday. Out top temperature was nearly 6C.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed it EC. Gosh, 6 deg C is a bit chilly and as far as I can recall we have stayed much warmer in the daytime, but of course colder in the night.
DeleteEs un lindo lugar. te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you J.P.
DeleteI don't think it looks like any farmland in Yankee-land or should I say
ReplyDelete"Divided land" - ha ha.
At least the the Canadians can breathe again - the idiot clown is back in
the land of chaos!
Now the leaders in glorious Calgary can get down to business.
The "Calgary Stampede"" is something that if you can afford to see
in person - do so. But we have just as good ones here but nowhere as big.
Calgary and the mountains are very popular with the Aussie skiing
community but Japan and Kiwi-land are cheaper and closer with direct flights.
Ah the thrills and spills of the ski slopes - just now memories and sore butts
from yesteryears !!!
Another fine and sunny day in Terrigal but cold at night. Only those with no feelings
are in the FLAT surf.
Cheers
Colin
Well the photos could be taken anywhere in this world in my opinions in certain places Colin. We had snow on the mountain this morning I noticed from the window here at home, there is also a snow making machine up there too. I've never skied but have been ice skating.
DeleteWhen we used to holiday in northern NSW, Qld etc. always someone in the water in winter and mostly the sea was flat. Must give the swimmers and surfers a nice feeling in winter.
Rolling hills comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteDown to the sea :)
DeleteThe sky was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe sky in winter is often more beautiful than any other time of the the year, I sometimes find, Angie.
DeleteI'm glad you still have so much glorious farming land producing crops. Where I am governments are selling it off for housing, instead of utilising other areas that have no other buildings and are not suitable for growing crops.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, R. We still have plenty of land, and Legana where all the houses are built used to be orchids, so someone orchardist/s sold for housing. There is government land for housing as well.
DeleteI would give my eye teeth for a cherry orchard. I bought cherries today and had to pawn my watch at the greengrocer to pay *moan*
ReplyDeleteOh dear me, Hels. Haven't seen any cherries down here for sale, the ones you purchased must be imported and a very late variety at that. Some fruits can be a little expensive these days.
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous scenery and outstanding photos. I love looking at your maps too. I always see a few British names on them that I remember visiting in the UK years ago, like Bridgenorth. Thanks Margaret!
ReplyDeleteOh yes Denise, many names in Tasmania as there are in England, Scotland and Ireland, from the immigrants and convicts' way back.
DeleteWhat a beautiful area for a day trip.
ReplyDeletePhoto 3 is my favorite, what a view.
I wish you a beautiful day.
Greetings Irma
Thank you Irma. that is a beautiful view, and I remember you telling me once that you don't have hills or mountains in your country.
DeleteWonderful pictures !
ReplyDeleteThank you Ashok.
DeleteYour pictures are excellent, as always. There is a peacefulness in what you share. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bill. It was peaceful there, never heard a sound.
DeleteBeautiful photos! The sky and the clouds are amazing! The nature in your area is so pretty. You have a "nice" winter!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marit. We still have roses blooming, the white climbing Iceberg, amazing.
DeleteThank you for fuelling my endless love affair with Tasmania.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome David.
DeleteThe 3rd photo shows that's a places to venture into sports and exploratory pursuits but also to spend times of pure contemplation.
ReplyDeleteNice scene the 3rd one, and one could sit there for ages contemplation, Giorgio.
DeleteAbsolutely stunning pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary.
DeleteIt looks a peaceful area to live.
ReplyDeleteIt does indeed, You could hear a pin drop when I was outside of the car taking the photo.
DeleteWonderful photos, it looks so peaceful there
ReplyDeleteThank you Jo-Anne. It was peaceful and probably a good place to live.
DeleteBeautiful landscapes but the temperature is spectacular here we are at more than double, those cotton clouds are beautiful. Happy weekend. Regards.
