Jo’s Monday Walk
Last Monday I happened upon a
previously unexplored section of
Geelong Botanic Gardens.
A bright sunny day and this track lead me to
a wetland of sorts, and also to…
this sign. I would have thought it common sense
but apparently we have to warn everyone.
It is December, reptiles are on the move
and one was even found in a Melbourne
(Central Business District) street last week.
The hour, the heat and the sign kinda of prevented me
from wandering down his side.
I took the left tun and hoped there would not
be snakes in the shadier section.
Native grasses have all seeded..
and provided some interesting compositions.
However, a stiff breeze kept all grasses moving
which made focusing difficult
The only thing not swaying in thee breeze
was this junior pine tree.
I wish all fellow bloggers
a Merry Christmas and
a Safe, Prosperous and
Happy New Year.

The older I get the more careful I tend to get. I still remember an 18 inch long snake coming out from under a mob of sheep I was droving. The snake was in a hurry and did not see my feet either side of it as it passed…but I can assure you I did. Another occasion while playing golf…in the rough…I happened to look behind me and saw a three foot tiger snake curled up in the August sun, with my golf buggy wheels running either side of it. I used to drag my buggy beside me, so you can imagine how close my feet had to be to the snake.
