Another day, another bushwalk - wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday - on National Pass

Walking again and making again

Who could resist getting outdoors when the weather looks like this? -

It's native flower time here in the beautiful Blue Mountains - 

I'm still getting used to my new camera and struggling with the macro shots.

Testing my camera in a low light situation here - these steps, which have been carved out of the rock lead to a another spectacular lookout over the Jamieson Valley.

Then on to Princes Rock lookout which has the best ever view of Wentworth Falls -

My camera struggled with the heavy light/shadow contrast, but did great with the zoom!
These people, below, are in the shot above, on the far righthand side. Can you see them?

But life can't be all fun and bushwalks - can it?

Let's get ready for all those spring markets and festivals.
I made a whole stack of these colourful rainbow and fusion malachite bracelets.

and some earrings to go with them.

Speaking of stacks - stacking bracelets are popular this year. I made some faux stacking bracelets on memory wire - so easy to slip on and they fit any size wrist.

Are you getting ready for spring?

What to do on a hot day

- escape to the mountains of course!

It was still going to be a fairly warm day so we set off early from Wenty Falls, to walk the beautifully renovated national pass track.
There was not so much water going over wentworth falls this time, but it is still a lovely shady place to walk.


Hey what are you guys doing?

- looking up at this!

You have to look up a lot to admire the sandstone cliffs as well as look at the view over the Jamieson Valley to Mount Solitary.

the path has been extensively redone with sandstone blocks in the wet bits.
I guess there were blocks left over and rather than chopper them out again they made seats or sculptures.

then you have to climb to the top of the escarpment again, but it is so pleasant to walk up through the beautiful valley of the waters.



come on up and visit the Blue Mountains!
