A beautiful day

Today was such a beautiful day, we went for a long walk on the cycleway near our river. It was Bella's first time there. We only come here in Autumn and Winter because of snakes. We have two common venomous types in the area and know a few dogs who were helped over the Rainbow Bridge by them. So we go when the snakies are asleep. (We hope). But this isn't the Rainbow Bridge, it just goes over a creek.

Bella leads the way. Kendra and I are still reading the pee-mail.

Here we are....follow the yellow brick road...(sic). For once Kendra is up with us. Usually, she is way behind bringing up the rear.

This little Red-rumped parrot was out enjoying the day, too.

There was loads of things to sniff in the Autumn leaves.

Then we got to the river. This is Bella. She's a keen bird watcher and there were some water birds out there.

I went in for a paddle, but Bella didn't want to get wet at all. She just watched.

There were huge flocks of galahs and cockatoos flying around screeching. They're VERY loud.

Kendra didn't want to leave. She just loved looking at the river.

These are only a few of the galahs in a huge tree.

On the way back to the car, we stopped for a look on the little bridge. The picnic area by the car was full of people having a sausage sizzle. I found a sausage on the ground. It was very hot, but I didn't let that stop me. I did not share and ate the whole thing.

Bella got covered in these hitchhiker things. (This is her pitiful scottie look.) They were very hard to get out of her coat, but they could have burrowed into her skin if left there. She a great time anyway.
