Late autumn is a good time to visit the mountains. The air is crisp and cool but not quite cold enough for snow yet. So Socks teleported over from Mississippi and we decided to spend a couple of days exploring the mountains.
The Blue Mountains are only about an hour and a half from my home. The name derives from the haze created by the oil of the native eucalyptus trees. On clear sunny days, the moutains appear dark blue. It is a national park and has been declared a heritage area.
We left home early in the morning and went bushwalking to observe the colourful flora and fauna of the area.
We also went horseriding to explore the countryside....
There are many picturesque locations....
In the evening we stayed at a cosy mountain lodge. Don't you just love our little Vespa? 
After an tiring day we settled down to snooze in front of the open fire in the lodge....
Life is good!!!!!

G'day! Trixie put a stamp on me and tried to push me out the front door. I think she is trying something naughty!
But I licked the stamp off when she wasn't looking, and she can't get the front door open.
