I'm always taking photos of them (because I think they're beautiful - even the brown ones) but haven't seen one like that!<br /><br />I'm like you - love getting out of the city, love walking, love the quiet, but puff really hard up the hills!<br /><br />Wnen I was young, I did a 6 week trip, which included a 3 week walk in the Daintree rainforest by compass, no tracks, just a final destination and plant collection along the way. It was the scariest, most challenging, and the best thing I've ever done.<br /><br />Thanks for a lovely picture post. Hope you enjoy Italy!<br /><br />Cath xoCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322007107036171737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-63851723775138708032013-04-12T10:05:10.137+10:002013-04-12T10:05:10.137+10:00The photos are gorgeous, Sue!

In fact, I'm thinking a walk on the beach this afternoon could be just the thing.<br /><br />How exciting about Italy! I bet you'll have the best time. :-)<br />Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-68429521732475916652013-04-12T05:49:14.297+10:002013-04-12T05:49:14.297+10:00Hi Sue,

I particularly liked the view, except then I realised just how far you'd climbed and I tend to enjoy an easier stroll. Fancy having that so close to home - how terrific. I used to do a fair bit of hiking. I think my longest effort was 9 days in the bush, during that time we crossed two roads and the rest of the time we were definitely away from civilisation. Now though I'm content to enjoy a little more luxury in my outings.<br />Hope you have a ball in Italy. I'm sure you will. Can't wait for the photos! Inspiration too maybe for some writing?<br /><br />Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.com
