There are a couple of spots around the place where there are seats to take a break. The first images in this post, show the first seat I put in, under the pepper tree, shaded and curtained.
And what can you see if you sit there? To the right, to the south, one view…
Other views to come, but meanwhile, another seat at the other side of the property follows..
In the other direction, at the end of the “North Triangle” another one in shade most of the day, under the casuarina that was already there – and when seated, a view to the west.
Sitting there, it’s “The Stump Circle” in front.
Looking to the left, towards the house, the plantings in the “North Triangle” can be appreciated..
Behind the seat, with the casuarina branches still overhead, the view to the northwest, across the next door property’s paddocks.. Obviously, with the long shadows, this was taken in the afternoon of an autumn day, with the bare track of a favourite kangie path on this side of the boundary fence..
The next image is of where I just put this folding chair at the top (east end) of the South Paddock, under the trees, so I could sit in a little green cave and look out.
But what can I see from there anyway – the next image shows one view to the left, with the boundary fence and a view towards the village of Harcourt.. teamed with some sticks to alert kangaroos that there is a fence there.
Not included here is a view towards the house, and down the length of the South Paddock. Maybe later. Meanwhile, a little further down the South Paddock, another old seat under a tree.
And here’s one of the views you can see if you were to sit there…
The next image is of another chair I’ve put under the spreading weed plum tree. The tree forms a canopy that looks inviting in the heat of summer, but not for long when all the weed plums fall on the ground underneath, and when the rabbits decide to dig a whole lot of holes. But It’s a nice place to rest in the middle of doing various gardening chores.
It’s just down from the house, so one of the views is towards the east and the front garden and the roof…
There are also seats on the deck outside “the folly”
You can see down the valley through the trees, or up towards the mountain, and overlook our next door neighbour’s paddocks..
View towards the house from the deck of the folly
View toward the west from the deck of the folly, and…
View from the folly to the north east over the paddocks next door.
Then, of course, there is the front porch with an array of seats. Probably the best place to watch the sunset – except in summer when it’s too hot to sit in the setting sun.
And in front, the cotoneaster hedge, and beyond that the valley and the western horizon…
So, some of the seats and views on Warrawing in late autumn 2024.
