Walk the Walk


Arthurs Seat State Park is a popular walking area.
One of the longest walks - Two Bays Walking Track - is from Dromana through varying terrains from mountain to country farmlands to Cape Schanck on Bushrangers Bay, Bass Strait.
The length of the track is 26km.
But if you don't have the time to enjoy the full walk, there are many mini versions along the way like this delightful Kings Falls Circuit Walk.

Heronswood in Late Winter


Heronswood in Dromana is a beautiful garden world in all seasons.
In winter, the bonus is being able to photograph the old home more easily because the trees are leafless and don't block the view.
The house was designed in 1866 in the Gothic Revival style.
Granite blocks were quarried from the nearby Arthurs Seat mountain.
The gardens have evolved as cottage and organic gardens.

Time in a garden
Like living close to old worlds
Like breathing Nature

Sorrento Winter Shadows


It's not often that shadows - when it's sunny - take up more space in the main street of Sorrento than do the people.
But in the winter time, when the holiday crowds have gone, this is quite possible.

Shadow Shot Sunday #168

Walking with shadows
A touch of winter sunlight
Winter breathing space
