Woodvale Ct, near me, is rather steep, so I like to climb it to get my heart pumping. At the highest point of the road, I stopped and drew a few of the houses below me, with a badly pruned pine tree in the foreground. The hill extends above the road too, and after finishing my sketch, I clambered up through the deep Wandering Jew to one of the concrete runoff channels that encircles it. There I disturbed the red-tailed hawk that lives in these parts. (There may be more than one, but as I only ever see one at a time, I think of him as a loner.) He soared off, and last I saw was his majestic form high in the sky, with the craggy Chatsworth Hills in the distance.

Hashi are you in an outer suburb? It all looks very rural. Love the house rooves.
Penny, yes, we're on the western edge of the city. Very close to hiking trails, etc ... it's nice!
It's good when you have a hill to start off with. My bluebell wood walk starts with a hill, though not as steep as yours.
Lovely lines here.
