Blackbutt Creek orchids : December 23 2024

avatar

Another week begins. The week into Christmas is always tough when I think back to the way it was. Focus - focus on the things in front and what works. Well the market is in front - write up investing stuff on a tough week across all markets

Escape to walk down to the bush. The reminders of Chrtistmas do help despite my state of mind. Somebody is upbeat

Watched a neighbour down south putting one up. It is not like one of those pop up tents - one pull.

A few photos of the new houses down Bushland Avenue - all knock downs or major renovations. The bay window may have been there

The only original feature is the red brick - my guess which is not even the same as that next door

Across the road with its columns. The render is new. Maybe over red brick

Square it off - render - go up half a storey

Walked the whole length of Blackbutt Creek - garden escapee to start

Twining glycine. Flower is tiny

Budding hyacinth orchid in the rain forest segment

Bonnet orchid leaves with their burgundy backs - no flowers in this spot

Slender hyacinth orchid struggling to convince the world that it is open

Trigger flowers know they are open

Open orchid of the day is a bonnet orchid - a tiny one

One a little further along the track - cryptostylis erecta

Goodenia

Christmas balls in blue

A bonnet orchid to wave goodbye

Budding hyacinth orchid on the edge of the preserved track - it hangs in after journeying down the slab as a seed

Walk done. Cleared the head. Need a lot of that this Christmas as it is unlikely will see my kids and my grand daughter

Cooked Thai red duck curry. Left over duck from Chinatown yeaterday. Red curry paste from friend in Thailand.

Time to reflect. There is a chance my wife's son or partner will bring over her grandson for a visit. Christmas is their time.

Did get a message from my son - might get a chance to see him when we go south. He got my card telling him about our story. I can only hope - been just on 6 months.

Got a heavy heart. Not my time of year

Hope your family do manage to find time to spend together, children are the ones that miss out on visit.

Blooms along the walk as always stunning, turning ones mind to nature is easier than watching markets bouncing around at the moment.

We got to see my wife’s grandson today and had friends over for lunch. I might see my granddaughter over the weekend. Seen lots of photos of her which I am not allowed to share. Helicopter parents drive me nuts - got two in our small family.

There are many species of orchids around the world and you photograph them like researchers, which is commendable. 11K Steps Count Today, this is AWESOME. Keep it up.

Orchids are the largest flower species with about 4400 around the world. In Australia there are about 1800 recorded. I have seen maybe 120. The island of Sumatra in Indonesia has over 1,000. It is also the most diverse species. Makes for plenty of material to photograph
