Personal - Visit Range Again

Good Morning Blog,

Took a long weekend leave last Friday, since JH was away in the USA for his healing trip and I had spent my last Friday exploring already, Mr B will like to explore parks near his place.

Since I had gone to Rifle Range Nature Park and it is near his place, then let's visit that place again.

I read online, during the weekends, Rifle Range Nature Park was filled with visitors and I won't want to go there if it is crowded. Since it was Monday, it should not be that bad, right? Right? 😅

Yawning... Feeling like I had not rested enough...

Luckily, Mr B would be meeting me near my station so I can rest a while.

Time to go

Looking at the mirror, just reminded me how rounder I get these days.

After getting Mr B from the station, we started our hike right away.

Today's morning seemed rather quiet here.

At least, the ideal situation will be the lesser the crowd, the better it is.

(Credit Mr B) Yippee, no one! I believe most of the locals were either travelling oversea or JB or... Rifle Range? 😂

While hiking along a less crowded trail, it was the perfect time to have a heart-to-heart chat.

(credit Mr B) Oh yeah and also having someone to help me to press the shutter button. Grateful 🙏🏼

But a lesser crowd can have a negative effect to make me feel a bit lazy.

Ah, I know the reason why it was quiet today is because the tree top walk was closed on Monday.

But I still feel rather embarrassed to self-snap pictures in front of Mr B...

Want to feel like a wild boar? The mud ground here will make you feel like one. But if you want to experience it fully, you can have a mud bath here.

(credit Mr B) but sometimes... Having a common topic to discuss may seem...

...far and random. Never easy to be honest.

(credit Mr B) well done Mr B, you made it this far, not easy. Most people will have worn off after covering half of Macritchie.

Okay, last Friday, I ended my trip from this path, and now returned for a short hike.

Here we go again, Rifle Range Nature Park!

(credit Mr B) In this park, finally got to see people around.

(credit Mr B) Great for revisiting as I can cover the part where I have not covered, like this beautiful bridge.

Like Tree Bottom Walk.

Anyway, coming to Rifle Range Nature Park, it is compulsory to visit this Coluge Deck and today was rather unsurprisingly packed with visitors.

I didn't know that there is a maximum limit of visitors getting on the deck. No wonder there is a queue. I guess, having a park ranger to help to control the traffic, is admirable.

(credit Mr B) Meanwhile, can spend some time posing with this pixelated wall.

🤔 Hmm... Some people on the deck took a rather long time... I understand that the group of friends may take slightly longer but there were a few. Just won't leave the spot... Perhaps they forgot there is a queue.

Ah... Finally! Our turn! Bright shot here.

Finally got to see Mr B take out his phone and snapped some pictures. Mr B was rather shy, not to be in the pictures.

Alright... Time to return to civilization.

I guess looking away has become my favourite shot/pose

Because I don't look great looking at the camera, I don't have great facial features.

(credit Mr B) I require beautiful scenery to back me up.

A simple hike here is perfect for families and friends.

Now looking and studying a bit of those new parks... Most of them tend to have a tall rising boardwalk, or I just made a quick and simple assumption... Or maybe it depends on location too.

(credit Mr B) My favourite shoot for the day. Sometimes I wished there is a drone to achieve some pictures which I dream of; but I doubt I have the capital to get a drone (if not, it will become a white elephant, unless I can loan it).

Oh? 😂 Spotted KW doing an introduction to the visitors! 😂 KW gives me a private tour here, please?

(credit Mr B) it seemed like it is going to rain sooner.

(credit Mr B) what a chilled hike and a catch-up session. I don't want to bore you with my meh post.

Meeting up is great but I feel exchanging information (personal experience and information which we don't share usually) will help us to know one another better by engaging, encouraging and exchanging. But I understand it will only work for some people, like those needing to tune towards any individual. What a wide range to cover.
