Bushwalk

 

Taken with mobile phone on a lovely bushwalk. Delighted to find the silver fern’s koru, which signifies ‘new life and growth’, and the face with the cicada nymph exoskeleton as a tattoo!

Found on one of my walks, shot with mobile phone.

Avenue of the Giants

Avenue of the Giants in Northern California runs through Humboldt Redwoods State Park, which is home to the tallest trees in the world, the amazing Redwoods. It is an absolutely beautiful, quiet and peaceful place, and I feel very lucky to have been able to experience it.

Beach Walk View

Taken with phone, wishing I had brought my camera along for better quality. Still, the view is awesome.

Nearly identical, but which one?

 

 

 

In Germany I cycled through many beautiful landscapes, including this one in the Harz. I would very much appreciate it if you could let me know which image you like best, and why? I have been looking at these two for a while now, and I would love to hear from you, fellow bloggers, in the comments which one you prefer, and why (or any other comments you have regarding the photos). Thank you!

Sky awesome!

When I was climbing the mount in Mt Maunganui, New Zealand, the sky was awesome! It reminded me of the song Jacob’s Ladder by Rush.

‘The clouds prepare for battle
In the dark and brooding silence
Bruised and sullen storm clouds
Have the light of day obscured…’

Eucalyptus Trees

Eucalyptus trees are my favourite because of their wonderful fragrance! Of course they also provide delicious food for the koala bear.

Eucalyptus oil has many medicinal properties, and is just a great oil to have in your house. I use a few drops with my (unfragranced) washing powder to wash my clothes and it makes them smell very fresh. A few drops on a cotton wool ball, or wipe makes your toilet smell nice and fresh as well.

How do you use eucalyptus oil or any other essential oil? Please share your tips. Thank you!
