About 5 minutes from my home, there is a pleasant place to walk in the bush. (Except when the ticks are looking for fresh blood.)
This old truck has been rusting away for quite a number of years now. I wonder who decided to abandon the old work horse out here?
I like the texture of the peeling paint and rust
And, nearby, echoing the colours of the old truck, a native shrub in bloom, an evergreen flowering grevillea, a member of the protea family.
Grevillea
My next post should be from a place far away, geographically and culturally.
Hello World 
Oh, duh, just realised I forgot to tick the notification boxes!

Hi Yvonne, wow, tomorrow, that came around fast – probably not for you though!
For whatever reason I haven’t been getting your blog updates via email so I only just saw that you are leaving tomorrow.
Have a fabulous time, I’m so jealous! Stay safe and have heaps of fun.

I too love the colours & textures on the old truck – they remind me of a painting we once considered buying! – but I wouldn’t have spotted them on my own. You are so observant!
Buon viaggio & we are also looking forward very much to seeing you here!

Ciao Yvonne, my father has a garage but I think he can’t do anything for your truck 😀
Protea is our favourite flower because it reminds us our honeymoon in South-Africa…
We look forward to see you in Venice!!!

Yes, and I wish I was leaving tomorrow too but I have 289 days. But it is going fast!
And tomorrow for me is still only Thursday.
