SHE
SAID:
After
a stunning sunrise it was a rather damp wander around the Bert
Boardman Reserve looking for new orchids. We found several flowering
Greenhoods, but none that were new.
I
did find a Red Beaks which had buds on it, & when we return in
September I'm hoping they might be flowering; if I remember how to
get there!
We
abandoned the wanderings in favour of the toasty warm fire; a good
choice.
For
a change we went out for dinner, to the local Anakie Store. We had
arranged to meet a couple of Caz & Bart's neighbours. A couple of
bottles of red wine & a huge meal made a good evening.

This doesn't seem to be a comfortable
way to sleep!

Our wanderings at the Boardman Reserve seemed destined to be quite brief, as we had not sighted any orchids after a few minutes, and I was about to suggest that a cuppa by the fire might be more interesting. But then we started sighting a variety of the orchid basal leaves, and spent the next hour or so wandering around in the cold and hoping it would not rain. The things we do...
Beautiful photos! :)
