A couple of days after my brother arrived, Esther took him and several of the children to Arthurs Pass for the day, to walk a number of tracks. I thought I would go, but that morning I turned my ankle. I’ve done that a lot of times, and while it wasn’t bad enough that I couldn’t walk, I knew it would get a lot worse if I did a lot of walking. So, I stayed home with Mom and Mr. Imagination, who didn’t want to pay anyone to do his paper run.
I let Little Miss take my camera along, and she had fun taking pictures. I tried to pick out the best here. They walked to the Devil’s Punchbowl Waterfall, the Avalanche Creek Waterfall, and up the Bealey Valley Track.
Somewhere in the tops they found a patch of sundew plants! I’ve never actually seen these carnivorous plants in person. They are tiny, about three inches tall. The red flowers are apparently part of them, too.
Everyone looks for unusual mushrooms for Grandma!
