Another late night - this time watching movies. Last one was Music and Lyrics with Hugh Grant. Appealed to my humour. Woke with a stinking headache - could not shake that all day

alt

The Brazilian walking lily popped out some more flowers - 3 in all

alt

Get the photos in. They only flower one day

alt

And the dancing lady orchid flowered too

alt

Side on view - good to see this plant flower a second time since we moved last year. It likes its spot in the shade

alt

Went walking down the hill - a few flowers along the way - interesting lily

alt

Walked this road lots of times - never noticed this tree starting afresh after the original tree died away

alt

Begonia flowering on the golf course - we had these at home as kids

alt

View across the course to the Macquarie Park apartments

alt

Got down to Blackbutt Creek - was a bit wary as they did a hazard reduction burn the week before. Good news is it was not this end - orchids showing - variegated hyacinth orchid. Good to find lots of plants

alt

A few dyanella still going

alt

Trackside view

alt

Eucalyptus losing its bark - summer coming

alt

Budding bonnet orchid. Saw a lot but no flowers yet

alt

White flowers on a creeper - no idea what it is

alt

Zoomed in - something is in focus

alt

Did find an orchid flowering - large tongue orchid - cryptostylis subulata

alt

Flower unfolding

alt

Trigger flower

alt

Hibbertia

alt

White kunzea

Met a lady on the way back across the golf course - she was watching a bird - was able to identify a bower bird. First time sighting

alt

This kookaburra is always around here - posing today

Dinner action - had asparagus we bought in Robertson - beef with black bean sauce and asparagus from Ken Hom

alt

Stir fry beef which has been soaked in rice wine and soy sauce and black pepper. Set aside and then saute onion, garlic, capsicum and asparagus cut on the diagonal

alt

A step on

alt

Toss in the black bean sauce and a little water. No salt - black beans are salty enough

alt

Add in the set aside beef and stir through

alt

Serve with rice - was yum

A good way to remember - walk free - eat well - Lest We Forget
