Forecast for today was 26°C so decided to go for a walk in the bush to celebrate my birthday. We did the Loop walk at Taheke Falls and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not a long walk the Loop is 3 kms. about 5 kms. altogether but it rises quite steeply.
Because of the angle of the sun I was only able to photograph a glimpse of the Falls.
Back home for lunch
Happy Birthday Susan! What a great walk to celebrate your birthday - it is hot here this afternoon and I can imagine how cool and lovely it must have been among the trees. Mxx
