That final - and first - shot is absolutely stunning. One for the poolroom, if you understand that Aussie reference.

I'm very glad she went hiking so you could share these gorgeous photos.

To be fair, why wouldn't you wear jewellery hiking? It's important to look your best :P

You are an amazing grandmother - fancy sending hiking boots! You're a keeper! My Nana bought me a backpack and a small camera when I went to Europe in '01. I never forgot it. She died whilst I was over there - I'd sent her a postcard from Berlin the day she died :( She was from Munich, so in some ways her passing whilst I was in the ancestral homeland was rather poetic. I digress - but the point is, one doesn't forget the kind love of grandmothers when they are gone.

As for snakes, we always pack a snake kit when we go bush - as they also say here in Australia :P
