We had lunch at Fingal Bay today after the walking group walk. I didn't do the walk because my left knee was giving me trouble, but I went for the lunch afterwards. I took this shot of the trees by the Sports Club at Fingal Bay and it is so good to see the leaves on the trees coming back after our bush fire last October.
well this is stunning Babs - I often draw strange looks as I stand beneath a huge tree and look up - the B&W is awesome - a teary day today - this has made me smile
@annied Thanks Annie. I have found that I just don't make eye contact with anyone when I am in strange positions taking photos. It just encourages them. ha ha. Sorry you are having a sad day, same here at the moment. Will email you today. I've been a bit drained too.
If you think I got funny looks taking this photo you should have been at the marina when I took pictures with my crystal ball. ha ha.
@karlow75 Thanks Kane. It is amazing how quick the bushland recovers apart from a few charred trees you wouldn't even know there had been a fire gone through. This one was deliberately lit and was so close to houses. We were very lucky.
@happypat Thanks Pat. Lunch was brilliant. I am okay walking, but going up stairs, climbing hills and putting my foot on the clutch on the car all cause problems with my knee. Had xrays to see what the problem is. always something to deal with. ha ha.
@pcoulson@paulaw Thanks so much. It is a tall tree but probably looks taller because of the angle. Looking around the bushland here now apart from charring on some of the trees you wouldn't believe the difference since the bush fire went through last October. It doesn't take long for the bush to regrow.
@april16@debilz@eyesmile@dgrynn Thanks so much. I am feeling much better today. Just have so many things to deal with since Zoe died that it gets a bit much sometimes.
I wasn't bending over backwards I was lying right by the tree with the camera pointing upwards. No wonder I get funny looks. ha ha.
@kathiecb Absolutely. I always look up. Reminds me of when I was in an exam when I was at school. The teacher said as she handed out our exam papers. "You can look up for inspiration, look down in desperation, but don't look sideways for information".
