i did something silly todayyy and got up nice and early, got ready for work, drove my ass all the way there and clocked in before someone told me i wasn't supposed to be working today :') it's alright though, i decided to make the most of my early midweek morning and i went for a beautiful hike! it's getting cool now and this is my favourite time to go exploring my local wilderness.

i decided to take my camera and go for a nice long walk through my favourite part of a nearby national park; it's a beautiful valley with a bunch of waterfalls and rivers running through it. i ran into a lost little dog friend who kept me company for a little while before he wandered off back to the carpark. it was lovely; so quiet, not a soul around but me. all i could hear is the water and the wind. the circuit takes you around the river and waterfalls, then down to the bottom of the falls and through a cave, and then back up the other side. took me about an hour or so.

the mark of any good impromptu hike is coming home covered in mud and also bleeding a little, in my opinion. i took a bunch of photos on my film camera too, so once that roll is up, i'm gonna send it in alongside another one i've been hanging onto for so long that i don't remember what's on it. probably next week. hopefully the pics come out nicely!
