Taken for granted
I am curious how we take things for granted. The locals are amazed by my excitement in the flora, fauna and ocean around Adelaide.
I went for a hike with a group on Saturday. I counted 23 koalas. Most of them were asleep, alone in a tree. We never saw two together and couldn’t tell if they were male or female.
Besides the koalas I was in awe of the blanket of Morning Glories beside the trail. I was informed they are an invasive weed.
I marveled at the view of the ocean from one of the vistas.
“Not as spectacular as the Rockies though” said one of my companions.
I guess it’s all relative.

The grass is always greener....I remember buying souvenirs at an airport shop in the Caribbean, and the lady at the till had a winter scene from the Canadian prairies as her screen-saver -- the very scene from which I had escaped. Love the koala pics, by the way !
