I took this picture on a morning walk about 2 weeks ago. It is about 2 mins stroll from my place. To the left is a horse stud and an area known as the stockyards where the kids learn to ride horses. To the right are houses that back onto one of the nine streets of town. I love the colours out here and in the morning the only noises are the horses whinnying and birds.

Its common to walk along here and have 4 or 5 people pass you in the morning. You know you are 'in' if someone tips their nose up in a short sharp kinda burst - it means 'what you doin?' Sometimes they'll have a plastic bag with their clothes in it because they have been camping out (not sure what that means but someone mentioned that thats what they call it???).

I wore thongs on my first walk but only got as far as the trees before turning back because the sandy dirt was going everywhere and my feet were filthy which ordinarily wouldn't be a problem - however there is strongaloidies in the soil (appologies for spelling) which is a parasite that lives in the soil and enters the body throught the soles of the feet and lives in the stomach. Yes I want to loose weight but NOT that way.
