The weather has been absolutely stunning for the last week with clear blue South Australian autumn skies and no wind and the temperature in the low twenties....
So yesterday a friend and I drove to the Mt Lofty Botanic Park to view the exotic trees in their autumn colours. To start with I missed the turn off for the road I used to take when Brian was still alive and we would take a picnic to the Park quite frequently before Covid hit us. We did and extra tour of the hills as I unintentionally finished up on the Freeway and had to drive through Bridgewater to Aldgate to get to the right turnoff.
The car park was packed but luckily, someone drove out as we drove in and so parked near the amusing sign warning us to keep a safe distance...not a Kangaroo in sight....
I can't quite remember what the description of this next sculpture said, but it looked so good with the changing colours of the trees in the background.
Also the artist name was not acknowledged which seemed odd and a little sad, I thought , such lovely work ought to be known surely....
On our way back we walked along the bank of the lake which is man made with a very steep bank on the north side. A group of young children were having a wonderful time sliding down the bank on pieces of card board ....obviously they had not bothered to read the sign prominently displayed...such joy though on such a wonderful afternoon as they were rolling and sliding on the grass.....it brought a smile to our faces....
Do click on the photos to get a better view....
