Sunday Morning at Yan Yean (Whittlesea) in Summer

Yan Yean Reservoir and Park and up the hill at the Growling Frog Golf Course are just ones of my favourite getaway places in Whittlesea. I go there every season, whenever I just want to run away from the city or just to refresh my mind... This time I went with my best photography buddy, Marge. We wanted to go there to meet the sunrise, but instead we were met by kangaroos, what a lovely surprise!

And what a better way to spend Sunday morning than a drive to Whittlesea, right up to the growling frog golf course....I was humming on the drive all the way. I was feeling happy that I could get away even for a little while on my own in this beautiful country setting...hmmm, I could almost hear John Denver's 'country road' being played on the radio. It rained the night before and you could feel how fresh the air was around you! Even the animals looked as if they all just had a shower and ready for a sunny day! It did feel like Sunday! I was getting more excited in anticipation of the drive down Yan Yean Reservoir/Park after....(scroll down to the next blog for pics of Yan Yean)
