The Monday after options expiry turned into a diabolical IT day. Accounting software is either struggling with file size or a dodgy mouse. Keeps repainting the screen when it is in portfolio mode. Took hours to do jobs that should take 5 minutes. Got in the way of a train-bike trip. Got in the car to walk the powerlines

alt

Seems the IT challenges moved onto photo challenges from small flowers

alt

Sundew flower - first sighting this season and a bit out of focus. The flower is half the size of a US penny

alt

Zoomed into the show the plant - comes with dry weather well and happy to be in wet zones

alt

Mini flannel flower - aconitiflorus minor - focus is good enough

alt

Second type of sundew flower - quite a different plant - also tiny

alt

The mission was midge orchids - found these seeded fringed midge orchids under those powerlines. One bud is in focus

alt

Hibbertia flower

alt

NSW coral heath flower - good enough focus to find the ant

alt

Was surprised to find conesticks flowers open. They are finished on the other tracks - this one finishing

alt

This one beginning

alt

Peach-flowered tea tree - find the ant

alt

A softer shade of pink. Ant is easier to find

alt

Took time to capture the bee - it is in focus

alt

A few pea flowers still going

alt

Keeping the yellow theme for now - a different hibbertia

alt

Found one more seeded fringed midge orchid. Disappointed to not find other varieties I have seen in prior years. Track work set them back 2 seasons back

alt

Banksia flower - no leaves to confirm ID. Probably banksia serratum

alt

Tear drop flower (my name) just unfolding. Normally see them open fully. This is in the violet family. Another for my granddaughter Violette

alt

Signpost shot for context. What context? Location for the next photo

alt

The saucer size mushroom is in the shot

alt

Lobelia seen on the way in

Walked up to shops after showering - got the steps over 10k doing that

Dinner: Fettuccine Alfredo - lots of mushrooms was the request
