Tristania Way

To-day we did a short local walk to Tristania Way,  not far from our house.  We have decided we need to do more walking and so we are going to try and do a few short walks every week.  The weather today was fine, sunny and quite warm for late Autumn.  The red and gold colours of the Autumn leaves looked magnificent as we stepped into this little cul-de-sac off Hawkesbury Road.  It was quiet and peaceful in this hidden getaway, even though it is close to a busy Road.  We walked to the end and then back again to Hawkesbury Road.  Here are some photos and observations of our walk.

This row of trees, displaying their Autumn glory, greeted us as we started our walk into Tristania Way.  They were on a bend in the Road as it dipped down into a Valley.  Just before reaching this bend, we saw a Crimson Rosella flitting around high in the trees on our right-hand side.

These dogs were barking excitedly as we walked past their property.  I loved the spotted one.  He looked part Dalmatian.  The other one looked like a Border Collie.  They looked happy to see us, even though they were barking!

We noticed this big old Gum tree, as we continued down the road.  I liked the way the branches intertwined to form an interesting pattern.  It was on the bush side of the Road. The bush stretched down into a deep valley.

On our way back to Hawkesbury Road, we noticed this little tree covered in netting.  It was growing on the Council nature strip.  We assumed it was a fruiting citrus tree and must be good enough for the owners of the adjacent house to want to safeguard it from attacks from birds.  Hope they reap a good crop!

A little clump of Gazanias greeted us in a garden on Hawkesbury Road and on the corner with Tristania Way.  As it was a sunny day the flowers were fully opened.  They made me feel happy!

We then walked the short distance back to our home.
