The day of rest

Today is Sunday and we like to go for Lunch at Atajate but we decided against it, the weather is not great, clouds and a chance of rain, also we were out last night and probably for lunch tomorrow. We decide to walk the dogs round some of the tracks near to Estacion, we have a nice circular route in mind with a bit of water they can play in.

We park at Bar parra, walk through the expanding town of Estacion south along the path of the railway line.


On the edge of town we spot this cat in a house drinking rain water from a bucket, it is worried by the dogs so we pass quickly.

Some more work for Jutwallah, we spot yet more flowers, he might have told us the names to these before, I'm not very good at flowers.

This is a nce flower, maybe we can grow these in Blairgowrie when we get back, if only we knew the name.

These look like some sort of Poppy,

As we left the town and headed along the sicde of the river we spotted various houses with a variety of wildlife. Here a chicken was trying to get her chicks away from the dogs.

A local has decided against a whirlygig and used the trees by the road instead.

We crossed the river, walked up past the house that Pam and Ian are keen on and along the track back in the direction of Estacion. The dogs had a swim before we crossed the river. You can see Cortes near the top of this pic and a very nice big house in the middle.

This is the big house we liked. We will try and find out who owns it, it might be a hotel but if so we've never heard of it.

A little further along the track we spotted these goats, I really like goats, they are friendly and quite cute. The one in the middle is a sheep.

The rain will help the spring flowers stay alive longer, this field will be full of poppies in a week or so.

This one is almost full, I liked the tree .

We walked back to the car and were rewarded with this rose in a garden by Estacion, dont need Jutwallah to name this one. It was a good walk, we'll do it again, a total of 6km and 2.5 hours of walking.

We drove home, had lunch then I prepared the railings for painting but the rain came back on so I cant paint today. We watched 24, getting hooked again. Had dinner and spoke to Mum on skype for a bit then back to 24.
