A cold start morning - coldest of the year. Keep turning over. Was a clear blue sky day best used by being out in the open. Cleared away some admin stuff and headed out in the car to walk Triplarina Nature Reserve - did find orchids last year
Slender rice flower - not expecting these still flowering
Banksia flowering.
Lambertia formosa
Long walk past the sheoak bush to the section that runs down to the creek - orchids are there - acianthus fornicatus
Fungal form
Lobelia flower
Budding greenhood - probably nutans
Pixie caps orchids - acianthus fornicatus - a game of light
Budding greenhood - a bit further along - probably also nutans
Lichen time
Fungal form. This looks a bit like the photo a few days ago that looked truffle like. Gone from golf ball size to 3 times the size
Lichen and orchid leaves
Mushroom in the light
Orb weaver spider across the track
Two forms of the same mushroom - the curved form and then flattening and going brown
Saw these tiny woodchips in this hollowed out trunk. Up above was a perfectly round hidey-hole. A creature has carved out its home and left the debris in the front room
Budding greenhood on the way back. Maybe just the next leaf unfurling
There were a lot of pixie caps orchids - deleted a lot of photos - flowers are so small. This time a head of flowers
Mini mushroom in brown
Coral heath flower - epacris microphylla
Swamp goodenia in a swampy section
Bush ant with bee for dinner
Pine-leafed geebung
Close up - a tough flower to photograph
Drove further up the the road to Bamarang Nature Reserve - short walk there under the powerlines
Pea flowers aplenty
Banksia flower. Did not walk much here - did see trigger flowers open but photos were poor.
Good to get out. Chose not to go to rainforest section I did last year. One ugly dog made it hard work.
Did the garden tidy up to keep awake. Pulled weeds and cut the grass
Chose to do a home alone evening - made prawn jambalaya. A bit of cheating - used cooked rice from a few days back
Late night watching Giro d'Italia - stayed away from markets. This report was published via Actifit app (Android | iOS). Check out the original version here on actifit.io
