As an aside, John and I never get tired of trying to figure out the language here. Smile. So many words used differently than in the states. If anyone knows the difference between walking and promenading, let us know. This was part of a break wall that we walked along in Apollo Bay. We saw seals playing in the surf there, along with the usual assortment of amazing birds.

And of course, no post of mine is complete without a complement of botanicals. These are from a hike we took up Mariner's Lookout, just outside of Apollo Bay. The lily-like flowers above hung from a small tree in a yard that was just off the parking lot. It was covered in these flowers. No scent that I could tell. Then there is the lowly dandelion. . . not exactly, though. These were happy in the grassy knolls at the top of the world.
Then, enter this wild beauty, pink though she is. My goodness. Just growing crazy on the hillside. It makes me crazy to not know what their names are, but then I don't know a lot of names. Best, I suppose, to just enjoy them, unnamed. At least until I get back to the Botanical Garden.
