They Know the Way
I just returned from a trip to Europe where I visited the Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria.
This photo was taken in the countryside of Hungary during the early evening.
We were riding on a horse drawn carriage to the ruins of a monastery.
We clip-clopped through a local village...
and, through the woods.
This is the ruins of Salföldi Pálos Kolostorrom Monastery which was built in the 14th/15th centuries in Gothic style and eventually destroyed by the Turks.
We explored the interior of the church...loved the arches!
This room was breathtaking...
Two of my friends suddenly appeared...
Jenny Downing from England and Agnes Kiss from Hungary...
...and my friend from childhood, Sally.
It's getting late...time to return to the village!
And, yes...it was cold in Hungary during the month of March!

Net Fishing in Cairns, Queensland, Australia
We were out walking in the early morning when we came upon this man net fishing along the Esplanade in Cairns, Queensland, Australia.
He tossed his net over and over...and, nothing!
We moved on and came upon this man.
He wasn't taking any chances with his cooler!

A Breezy Walk on the Cape - Kangaroo Island, SA, Australia
A very breezy walk on Cape de Couedic...
Flinders Chase National Park, Kangaroo Island, SA, Australia
the walk affords magnificent views...
of the Cape de Couedic Light House
the Indian Ocean and rugged coastline...
and, finally...Admiral's Arch.
A colony of New Zealand Fur Seals live in the waters here.
If you look very closely you can see a few on the rocks.

These photos were taken at Kingscote on Kangaroo Island, SA, Australia...
a bucket of fish = feathered friends
Same man, Same bird
He had many feathered friends because he brings them a bucket of fish each day...why? I don't know as the sea is full of fish.

Kangaroo Island, SA, Australia
This photo was taken when it was getting dark...a bit challenging without lighting!
The walk-way leads to a bluff area where the 'little penguins' come ashore after dark.
The walk-way leads to a bluff area where the 'little penguins' come ashore after dark.
They have nests on the bluff where their young patiently wait to be fed!
Unfortunately, we didn't see them on this particular evening but we did enjoy seeing several wallabies hopping around nearby...what a treat!
This is "Remarkable Rocks" located within the Flinders Chase National Park.
What amazing color and views of the Indian Ocean!
We spent several hours in this area and loved every minute of that precious time!
Kangaroo Island is a GEM of a place!

Tasmanian Devil - Tasmania, Australia
This Tasmanian Devil IS being a d.e.v.i.l. !!!
They have very poor eye-sight but a keen sense of smell.
This one is on a Tasmanian Preserve for orphaned marsupials.
The Tasmanian Devil is a marsupial.
I think I learned something new everyday while on this trip!
They have no trouble crunching bone...or boots!

Puffing Billy - Dandenong Range, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
We were on this train with the rest of the tourists in Australia!
It was so much fun sitting in the window with our legs hanging out...like the rest of the tourists in Australia.
This is the oldest operating steam train in Australia.
"Puffing Billy"
We went for a nice long ride through the rain forest of the Dandenong Range west of Melbourne.
People would come out in various places to take photos of the train as it passed by.
