Geoff
said he was feeling much better today so I suggested a short drive to
the other side of Lake Tyers which he agreed to.
It
didn't pan out as I'd planned as 15km down the road it was flooded
with a road closed sign barring our way.
We
turned around & began retracing out drive when I asked Geoff to
stop; I thought I'd just check out the forest in case there were any
orchids. WELL to start with I found only what I thought was a dead
one then as I was returning to the car I found 2 single orchids,
different types too. So out came the camera & I was down in the
dirt & mud snapping away.
Geoff
had a wander around whilst waiting for me & found heaps more.
My
tally was 3 new types & 2 I'd found before.
A
pretty good haul I thought!

HE SAID:
After about 5 minutes I'd had enough of wandering dimly through the bush. But after I found some orchids Varena's enthusiasm kept me going for another hour or so.

Beautiful pics Varena!! I had no idea we had these lovely things so close to home! And your other pics are just as beautiful.
