Hi everyone, I hope you and yours have been doing well during the time I have been away on my little blogging break. We got back home late last week, and I seem to have a mountain of things to catch up on. You know - life keeps going on whether you are home or not.
We had a fabulous few weeks away exploring some places new to us, and others we haven't been to in a while. Our trip took us up through the midwest enjoying the Western Australian wildflower season, then north to a station stay at Wooleen Station in what they call the Rangelands, then across to the goldfields area, and through the far north eastern wheatbelt. In fact 3,588 kilometres during the three weeks of our trip.
I will come back with more to share over the coming weeks, but for now a little look - there was history, walking tracks, bush camping, birds, exotic wildflowers, gorgeous sunsets, outback toilets (or as my blogging friend says - loos with views), rocky outcrops and breakaways, and carpets of wildflowers.
Let me catch up on life - can we ever really do that? - and I will be back to share more.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I value your comments and look forward to hearing from you. I will try to visit your blogs in return. Have a wonderful week.

Hello Jill,
ReplyDeleteI would enjoy sitting under the tree watching the budgies, they are pretty birds. The wildflowers are beautiful, a lovely sight to see. I am glad you had a nice trip! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and happy week ahead. PS, I appreciate your comment too.
...Jill, I wish you a wonderful spring. be well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures!
ReplyDeletethe budgies look so beautiful......
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing beautiful photos....
Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing. I look forward to whatever else you have to share with us in future.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! They have those birds in Arizona and I was able to see one in my friend's neighborhood this past spring when I visited. I also love fields of wildflowers!

The photos from your trip are really lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comment. I'll reply earlier this week...
ReplyDeleteI am very happy about the contribution to MosaicMonday again, thank you for that. The pictures are just lovely. We had budgies as children - but with blue plumage. And yes, I can well understand the return after the vacation. I know that we first had to readjust until we had really arrived. A sign that the vacation had worked!
Best wishes from Heidrun
Glad you had a happy vacation. The view up at the Budgies is wonderful, as are the flower photos.
ReplyDeleteThe budgies are so remarkable to see in the wild (I know, not quite so much for you, but it is just amazing to me).....I loved this quick review post and look forward to more about your roadtrip. That's the kind of getaway we love too -- we're lucky both of us to live in countries where we can do a long roadtrip and see so many different kinds of country/people/scenery/wildlife and still be able to drive home eventually! (I would love to do a roadtrip in your country, but I am afraid I'll have to enjoy it virtually through blogging friends!)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back! Your trip sounds amazing, and the photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your photos. They look so beautiful, just like the colors of the flowers!
ReplyDeleteJill - a post is not a post from you unless it has at least one orchid (or one of your fabulous dyed fabrics). I had to laugh (a little) at the budgies. Our son had a budgie during high school and it came out to Montana (via car) with us. Hard to imagine that little fellow living in the wild! I posted for the first time in a while if you have a chance to visit!
ReplyDeleteDear Jill, that really sounds like a great vacation - you're already showing us some beautiful photos in the preview. I'm happy for you - and amazed. Apparently there is (at least) one arch in Australia, like the one we saw in Arches National Park on our trip to the USA....
ReplyDeleteI also had budgies as a child - one of them was called Jackie and looked like the green ones you show - but there were also blue and yellow ones...
All the best and happy October days,
Traude
